Price And Overall Value
Some factors to consider are the savings you’ll get from a model designed to be high-efficiency rather than solely focusing on the immediate cost of the unit and installation. Reliability is fairly standard across different makes, but you’ll want to ensure that fit and sizing is as accurate as possible for your home so you don’t end up wasting money, energy and time with a poorly-fit (under or over-sized) furnace.
High-Efficiency Propane & Natural Gas Furnace Pricing
Installation can cost $500 to $1,500 in London, depending on how much work is required to install your furnace.
The cost of the actual unit varies significantly between brands and their models, with the more efficient models often costing more upfront and saving more later on. In London, the final installed price can range from $3,000 to $4,500 on average,. This can be higher (up to $5500 or more) if it’s a top of the line model, a more labour-intensive installation, a conversion from oil, among other factors.
Higher than average
Slightly above-average price range, which may be due to factors like a more complicated installation, or purchasing a top-of-the-line unit or premium brand.
Typical price range: $2900 – $5500
The average price range for a typical high-efficiency unit with a typical installation from an established, fully licensed & insured local HVAC contractor. Prices will vary within this range based on installation factors, brand & model, unit size/BTU output & efficiency, among other things.
Lower than average
Below-market pricing; be careful if the price is exceptionally low. The lower the price is below average, the higher likelihood that you may receive a more hastily done installation, low-end or used components, limited labour warranty coverage & ongoing support, or the company may be less established or lacking in insurance and/or licensing & certification.

Buying a New Furnace in London
London winters can be fierce with more snow coming off Lake Huron and extreme lows and highs in a short period of time from the prairie-like terrain. It’s incredibly important in these types of conditions to have a reliable, well-fitted furnace for your home.
Efficiency Rating
There are a few things to look for when trying to get an energy-efficient furnace to save money down the road. The ENERGY STAR® certification is a good place to start and means that the unit has at least 95% AFUE and a fan efficiency of maximum 2%. The AFUE rating tells you the ratio of fuel used to cost. So an AFUE of 95% means that 95 cents of your dollar are going to heat your home. High AFUE, good motor, and energy-efficient heat exchangers are important things to look at when determining efficiency.
Features
You can get a number of features depending on the make and model of the furnace you choose. Necessary and important parts are the blower which circulates the heated air, and burner which will determine how much energy and gas the unit takes to heat your home and how quickly and efficiently that happens. There are also a number of additional features that can improve performance by automating settings, providing reminders and optimizing efficiency.
Warranty
Typically, a standard warranty will be a 10-year limited warranty on parts, and usually not on installation. The installation warranty would come directly from the HVAC contractor who installs the unit; look for at least a 1-year labour warranty. There is sometimes a lifetime warranty on the heat exchanger, so that’s a feature to watch out for. Other warranties might cover transfer of ownership if you sell your home and may offer additional coverage at a charge.
Quietness
The noise from the blower and the clang of the unit turning on are not sounds that a London homeowner wants to hear at all hours of the day and night. Most modern furnaces now are sound-insulated and some use variable-speeds and heating to minimize the amount of noise that is produced by a working unit.
