When installation is the job

Five houses that need a furnace chosen for them.

Installing is a design job before it is a labor job, and the choosing matters more than the badge on the box. These are the five situations where a furnace needs specifying rather than simply swapping.

1

There is no furnace there yet.

New construction, a whole-house remodel, or a converted space the heating never reached. The size comes off the house plan rather than off an old nameplate.

2

You are changing fuel or system type.

Gas going in where there was electric strip heat, or a heat pump covering both seasons. That is a design decision before it is an installation.

3

The house has grown since the last one went in.

An addition, a converted garage or a wall of new glass moves the heating load, and the old size stops matching the house it is in.

4

The ductwork was never right.

A furnace can only push what the duct system will carry. An install is the one chance to correct an undersized return and a starved plenum while everything is open.

5

You want the efficiency you are paying for.

A condensing furnace only delivers its rating if the venting, the combustion air and the condensate drain are done properly. That is an install-quality question, not an equipment one.

Gas, electric or heat pump

Choosing the right furnace for a Texas house.

Texas winters are short and sharp. The right answer depends on your fuel, your ductwork and your bills, so we walk the options with numbers rather than a script.

Most Forney & Dallas homes

Gas furnace

  • Best for: homes with gas service and existing ductwork
  • Upfront: moderate · Running cost: low
  • Watch for: venting and combustion air

No gas line

Electric furnace

  • Best for: all-electric homes, smaller spaces
  • Upfront: lowest · Running cost: highest in a cold snap
  • Watch for: panel capacity

Condensing, sealed combustion

High-efficiency gas (96%+)

  • Best for: larger homes, long ownership
  • Upfront: highest · Running cost: lowest for gas
  • Watch for: condensate drain and PVC venting

  • Watch for: sizing for both seasons

The Cyclone Way

Install day, in the order it happens.

01

Sizing before buying

Square footage, insulation, glass and duct capacity, worked out before anybody talks about equipment. The furnace is sized from the house, never from the badge on the old one.

02

Two or three real choices

Gas, high-efficiency gas, electric or a heat pump, each with the price, the running cost and the catch spelled out. Nothing goes on the list that we would not fit in our own house.

03

Clear the space and set the base

Floors and walkways covered, the old unit out where there is one, then venting, gas line and electrical checked before a new cabinet goes anywhere near the space.

04

Connected and commissioned

Set, vented, gassed and wired, then combustion analyzed, gas pressure set and temperature rise measured under load. The thermostat is configured with you standing there.

05

Hauled away and registered

Old equipment gone, the area swept, the manufacturer warranty registered in your name, and a call after the first genuinely cold night.

What the install costs

Three specifications, and what separates them.

A new system installed runs $8,500 to $20,000, depending on tonnage, efficiency and ductwork, because two houses on the same street can need different furnaces. We show you the tiers and tell you exactly what moved yours.

Standard gas or electric

The simplest specification: the right size, fitted cleanly, nothing gold-plated.

  • Standard-efficiency gas or electric furnace
  • Existing venting and ductwork reused where they are sound
  • Basic programmable thermostat

High-efficiency, done properly

The usual choice. A condensing furnace only pays back when the venting and drain are right, so that work is inside the price.

  • 96%+ condensing gas furnace
  • PVC venting, combustion air and condensate drain to spec
  • Smart thermostat configured with you

Heating and cooling in one install

Best value when the cooling side is the same age, or when a heat pump can cover both seasons.

  • Matched furnace and AC, or a heat pump with backup heat
  • Duct corrections carried out while everything is open
  • Filtration or UV fitted at the same time
$0

Surprises after the estimate. Written, itemized price before a wrench is turned. Free second opinion on any other company’s quote. Financing available. Manufacturer warranty registered for you.

Upfront furnace installation pricing

Three things are fixed before anything is ordered: the in-home estimate is free, the written quote is itemized line by line, and the number on it is the number you pay. Nothing gets added on install day without you approving it first.

New system installed

$8,500 to $20,000

AC, furnace, matched system or heat pump, sized for the house and quoted in writing after a visit.

Most repairs

$150 to $4,500

The other half of the repair-versus-replace comparison, from a capacitor to a compressor.

Diagnostic visit

$45

Per visit. You hear the fault and the repair price before any work starts.

What sets the number

  • Fuel and furnace type: gas, high-efficiency condensing gas, electric or a heat pump
  • The heating load from the calculation, which is what the size comes from
  • Venting, combustion air and the condensate drain a condensing furnace needs
  • Gas line, electrical, return and attic access, where the last install cut corners

The in-home estimate is free and covers the load calculation, two or three written options, removal and disposal of any old equipment, the permit where the city requires one, and the manufacturer warranty registered in your name. Financing is available.

Does the BTU per square foot rule size a furnace?

Only roughly. The old rule puts a North Texas house somewhere around 30 to 40 BTU of heating per square foot, which is a sanity check rather than a specification. It takes no account of insulation, ceiling height, glass or how leaky the house is, and used on its own it usually oversizes. An oversized furnace short-cycles, heats unevenly and wears its igniter out early, so the rule costs you money in the end. We run the load calculation and show you the number the furnace was actually sized from.

Aftercare

Living with the new furnace.

✓

The filter size, written down

We leave the correct size on the cabinet, because the wrong filter forced into the slot is how a brand new furnace earns its first limit trip. Kaufman County dust and construction along US-80 load a filter faster than the box promises.

✓

The first fall tune-up

Burners, flame sensor, igniter and venting checked before the first cold snap. Annual service is what the manufacturer warranty terms assume, and maintenance plan members save up to $300 a year.

✓

What the new furnace should not do

A click with no light, a burning smell once the first few runs are behind it, or short cycling all mean call us. A smell of gas means leave the house and call the gas company first.

What customers say about their installs

Install customers on how the day actually went

“Cyclone replaced my AC unit and furnace in fall of 2018 and did a great job. About a year later, my thermostat stopped working. Mario responded immediately to my call, replaced the unit the next day … He is always responsive, on time, and professional.”

Austin M. · 5-star Google review, Forney listing

“Very responsible and very knowledgable regarding our Central Air needs – and very honest! … replaced our traditional furnace and A/C with an electric heat pump and the unit is working beautifully.”

Mike M. · 5-star Google review, Forney listing

“Contacted Cyclone back in January after going back in forth with a previous company that installed our new unit incorrectly and that was not heating. Mario came right out the next day advised me of what needed to be done and completed the work the following day.”

Furnace installation FAQs

Questions homeowners ask before an install

Usually a day. We protect the work area, haul the old unit, and test everything before we leave.

Depends on your house, your ductwork and your bills. We walk the options with real numbers, not a script. Gas is the default when it is at the house; a heat pump is worth a look if you are replacing the AC too.

A new system installed runs $8,500 to $20,000, depending on tonnage, efficiency and ductwork, with a straight gas furnace swap sitting near the lower end of that. You get two or three written options with the price on each before any work starts.

In North Texas the honest answer is that a 96% condensing furnace pays back slowly, because the heating season is short. It earns its place when you are staying in the house a long time, when the venting run suits it, or when you are buying the cooling side at the same time. We will show you the running-cost difference for your house rather than a brochure figure.

Yes. Permits where the city requires them, and we will tell you which equipment qualifies for federal efficiency credits so you can claim them.

Yes. Ask about payment plans on any install; we will show you the options with the estimate.

Multiply the age of the equipment in years by the repair quote in front of you. Under $5,000 the repair usually wins; over it, install money is better spent. It is the sum worth settling before you start choosing a furnace, and we will work through it with you on the phone.

A 2,000 square foot house here sits inside the same $8,500 to $20,000 installed range as everything else we fit, usually nearer the bottom of it for a straight gas furnace. Fuel, efficiency tier and what the venting and ductwork need are what move it, and you get a written itemized estimate before install day.

No. Gas furnace work in Texas requires a licensed contractor, permits where the city requires them, and a gas-line and combustion test at the end. Our license number is TACLA84983E. A self-installed furnace also voids the manufacturer warranty, which is the expensive half of the mistake.

It moves with the size of the furnace, the efficiency tier, whether the venting has to change, and the condition of the gas line and the return. We itemize all of it so you can see which part is equipment and which part is the house. The written estimate is the number you pay.

Installed together, yes, because it is one visit, one set of permits and one crew rather than two. It also means the furnace and the indoor coil are properly matched, which is the only way a system delivers the efficiency printed on it. Whether it is the right call depends on how much life is left in the cooling side.

Spring and early summer, when heating work is quiet and the schedule is wide open. The worst time to choose a furnace is the first freezing morning, with no heat in the house and no time to compare options. Nothing about the install itself gets worse in winter, but the decision does.
