Replacing a furnace usually isn’t something you plan for—it’s something you’re forced into. Maybe yours quit overnight and won’t turn back on. Maybe you’ve been through repair after repair, and the costs keep stacking up. Or maybe it still runs, but it’s loud, uneven, or just can’t keep the house warm anymore. At some point, keeping the old unit going stops making sense.

We don’t rush, we don’t overcomplicate things, and we don’t play games with pricing. Just honest advice and solid work, the way it should be.

Running a furnace that’s already struggling never pays off—it wastes money, causes stress, and usually leads to bigger problems down the road. The same idea applies when you’re choosing who to trust with your heating and cooling. Settling for an HVAC contractor that cuts corners or pressures you into things you don’t need will only leave you frustrated later.
Honest Abe’s was founded by a former technician who wanted to change that. From the start, our focus has been honesty, skill, and service—values that still guide everything we do today. If you’re comparing heating contractors, here are a few things you should know about us.
Our furnace services cover it all: fast furnace repairs if the heat cuts out, seasonal furnace maintenance to prevent breakdowns and lower your bills, and full replacements when your old system has nothing left to give. Whatever your furnace needs, Honest Abe’s makes sure your home stays warm.
A new furnace is one of the bigger purchases you’ll make for your home. It’s worth it for the comfort and safety it brings, but we know it can also feel overwhelming. When you’re spending that much, you want to understand what you’re paying for so you can feel confident in your decision.
Here are the main factors that go into furnace replacement cost:
Most furnace replacements fall somewhere between $4,500 and $9,000, depending on the factors above. At Honest Abe’s, there are no hidden charges and no sales pressure. We’ll show you your options clearly, help you take advantage of rebates and tax credits, and offer financing to spread out the cost. That way, you get a system you can depend on—and peace of mind that you made the right choice.
When your furnace is on its way out, the signs are hard to ignore—strange noises, uneven heating, or repairs that never seem to end. A new furnace can solve those headaches and give you reliable heat for years to come. But what actually happens when it’s time for a furnace replacement? At Honest Abe’s, we’ll walk you through each step so you know exactly what to expect, from how long it takes to what kind of guidance you’ll get on new furnace models. Here’s what to expect:
Before a new furnace ever goes in, we start by looking closely at what’s already there—your old unit, ductwork, venting, electrical hookups, and fuel lines. This tells us if anything needs attention before installation. Sometimes we find older venting that isn’t safe anymore, undersized ducts that choke airflow, or wiring that needs an update. Taking care of those things first makes sure your new furnace runs the way it should.
Once the prep work is done, we shut down and disconnect the old system. Power is cut, gas is turned off, lines are capped, and we protect your floors and walls so nothing gets scuffed while moving the unit out. We also haul away the old furnace and dispose of it responsibly, so you don’t have to worry about what to do with it.
Now it’s time for the new system. We set the furnace, hook it up to your fuel source and electrical panel, and tie it into the ductwork. Every connection gets sealed and checked for safety. Then we run the system through a full heating cycle, measure airflow in different rooms, and adjust the thermostat until the heat is balanced and steady throughout your home.
Before we leave, we’ll go over the basics with you—how to change your filters, how your thermostat works, and what features your furnace has that might be new to you. We’ll also talk about routine upkeep and how seasonal tune-ups can keep your furnace in good shape. That way, you know exactly what to expect and you’re not left guessing after the install.
Most furnace replacements can be completed in less than a day, so you’re not left waiting long for heat. And if your furnace has had a sudden breakdown, we can often schedule a next-day installation to get your home warm again. We install and service gas, electric, oil, and propane furnaces, so no matter what kind of setup you have, we’re ready to handle it.
If your furnace is at the end of the line—or already out—call Honest Abe’s today to schedule your replacement and get your home warm again.
If your last furnace didn’t get regular maintenance, chances are it didn’t last as long as it could have. Dust builds up, parts wear down, and small problems turn into major repairs when they’re not caught early. That’s why ongoing care is so important—it keeps your furnace running safely and helps it reach its full lifespan.
You can always schedule a one-time tune-up with Honest Abe’s. We’ll come out, go through your system top to bottom, and make sure everything is working the way it should. But to get the most out of your furnace, we highly recommend joining our maintenance plan.
For an affordable monthly price, you’ll protect your new furnace, lower the risk of breakdowns, and have Honest Abe’s in your corner year-round. Talk to us about signing up!
