Furnace Replacement in Lincolnwood, Illinois
Furnace Replacement in Lincolnwood typically costs $4,500-$9,000 installed in 2026, depending on home size and efficiency tier.
Lincolnwood ranges from modest postwar homes to the larger houses of Lincolnwood Towers, so furnace replacement spans standard forced-air changeouts and bigger, more involved jobs. In both, we size the new furnace to the home as it stands rather than copying a decades-old nameplate.
| Smaller homes (under 1,500 sq ft) | $3,800-$7,900 |
| Typical homes (1,500-2,500 sq ft) | $4,500-$9,000 |
| Larger homes (2,500-4,000+ sq ft) | $5,000-$11,900 |
Final pricing depends on system size, efficiency, and home configuration. Every quote is written and itemized after a free in-home estimate, with available utility rebates factored in. See current North Shore rebates or get an instant ballpark estimate.
Furnace Replacement for Lincolnwood homes
The smaller Lincolnwood homes we work in typically run 80% AFUE furnaces on serviceable ductwork, often oversized when built, which shows up as short-cycling and uneven heat. The larger Towers homes carry longer duct runs and higher loads. Either way we run a load calculation and size the replacement to the real heat loss, which in a tightened-up postwar home usually means a smaller, higher-efficiency unit.
A modern 90-98% AFUE condensing furnace trims gas use but needs PVC venting and a condensate drain, planned around the home's basement. Licensed, insured installers set the unit, verify the duct connections, and confirm safe combustion. The old furnace is hauled away, the warranty registered, and we hand off any Nicor rebate the new equipment qualifies for.
