First-light Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 So my rental in Corning needs two new burners. They are really old and it's time. Each one heats a 1 bedroom apartment. I think the current Natural gas hot air burners are 60,000 BTU. Any thoughts on what I should be paying for the new burners and installation? Duct work is all good. Thanks, FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelwhisperer Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 60k btu gas fired furnace (forced hot air): $750-$1500 efficiency rating, make, and warranty dependent. Transition pieces to adapt to existing ductwork: $200PVC for venting: $250Adapt existing gas piping: $200Installation: $1000-$1500 location dependentContractor mark up ??? (30%ish)This is a rough estimate per unit and what I would expect to pay (my cost) I have been in the HVAV field for longer than I care to admit (30 yrs). A new furnace this size will typically run in the neighborhood of $3500 to $5000 installed, for the metro area. Hydro air (using a boiler and hot water coil) will be considerably more if the boiler has to be replaced as well. Perhaps the labor and mark up is less where you are.
