Average cost of a furnace replacement in Regina, Saskatchewan: $3,000 – $5,500
You can typically purchase a mid-level high-efficiency furnace including installation for approximately $3,500 on average with some factors affecting your total price.
Factors Affecting Price
Retail price is not the only thing you have to consider when comparing the average cost of a forced-air furnace in Regina. Now that you have an idea of what you will be paying for the furnace itself, let’s talk about common factors that affect your bottom line.
Installation
Other than the actual price of your furnace, the installation is the most important price factor when it comes to furnaces. The installation process is very important to the overall performance of any given furnace so be sure to hire a trusted contractor who can guarantee their work. This is where you don’t want to skimp. A top notch installer may cost a little more, but it will be well worth it in the end.
Home Size
Be aware of the square footage of your home. BTU level (essentially the heating power of your furnace) should be taken into account when pricing a new furnace no matter what the brand. For the climate in Regina, you will more than likely need a furnace with a BTU output of between 60,000 to 100,000 BTUs.
Duct Work
Your furnace is just a component of your entire HVAC system. Depending on what kind of ductwork you have in place, where your furnace is to be installed, and if any retrofitting is required, you will be looking at different prices for installation.
Efficiency Level
Of course, the more efficient your furnace, the more it will cost upfront. AFUE rating (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) will have a great impact on how manufacturers price their units. High-efficiency models are the ones in the 95% to 98% AFUE rated furnaces. These are the ones that will cost the most upfront. However, these will provide more long-term savings than a lower efficiency model, although any new furnace in Canada will typically be at least 92% efficient.
By keeping all of these factors in mind you should be able to not only get an accurate idea of what you will be paying for your new furnace but also choose one that will work best for you and save you the most money.
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: $3000 – $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.

Important Questions When you’re Choosing a New Furnace
How much space are you heating?
This should be your first question and will make all the difference when looking into buying one for your home, since it will affect the size of the furnace needed.
How much will installation cost?
Buying a furnace is only the first cost associated with heating your home. Unless you have a gasfitting license, you’ll need an expert to ensure the furnace is properly installed. The installation itself will typically cost in the $750 to $1500 range but this depends on many factors of course. Expect the total cost of your new furnace to be in the $3500 – $5000 range.
Is there a furnace type that would better suit my home?
If you live in a rural area without natural gas infrastructure, a propane furnace may be a better option.

Other Noteworthy Brands
When shopping for a furnace, getting to know some of the brands that offer the most trustworthy furnaces is key. Here are some of the most popular brands for sale by HVAC distributors and contractors in the Regina area:
Bryant
Bryant creates the Evolution Variable Speed line of gas furnaces that feature up to 98.3% AFUE ratings. The great thing about this particular line of furnaces is that they are modulating and dual-speed furnaces. This means that they can operate at varying levels of output so you can pick and choose your level of heating power depending on your needs throughout the year.
Payne
The PG family of gas furnaces created by Payne sets itself apart from other companies thanks to humidity controlling technology integrated into each unit. There are 4 ENERGY STAR certified models in this line (PG96VAT, PG95XAT, PG95S, and the PG92S) which deliver between 92% and 96% AFUE.
Tempstar
The SmartControl thermostat systems are what make Tempstar a notable choice. This series can be fitted with advanced control modules that communicate effectively with the furnace itself. The SmartControl series comes in models that are between 80% and 98% AFUE, the latter obviously being the more expensive.
Keeprite
When shopping Keeprite furnaces you are going to want to stick with the ProComfort offering of furnaces. These are modulating furnaces that operate very efficiently and come with variable-speed fans which you can use to distribute heat in your ducts more evenly without the furnace actually having to consume energy.
Also, be aware that brands like Bryant and Keeprite offer oil and propane furnaces. Propane furnaces operate at about the same cost as gas furnaces, but you will probably have to opt for a propane-powered furnace if you live in a rural area. Oil furnaces are less efficient than gas furnaces.

- Types of homes, especially older homes
- Conversion from a different energy source (eg. oil)
