A furnace chosen for your home, not for the truck

Replacing a furnace is one of the larger purchases a homeowner makes, and it usually happens in a hurry — the old one quit, it's January, and three companies are quoting three different things in three different formats.

We do it differently. The prices are posted. The three Lennox tiers are explained in plain language. The quote is written before any work starts, and the number on it is the number you pay.

What's included in every furnace price

  • A correctly sized Lennox furnace, installed
  • Removal and disposal of your old unit
  • The municipal permit
  • A new thermostat
  • 10-year limited parts and labour warranty (conditions apply)
Natural gas or propane

Acreages around Sturgeon County, Legal and Westlock often run on propane. We install and service both, and we'll tell you honestly whether your tank, line and equipment are a sensible match.

How we size a furnace

Bigger is not better. An oversized furnace satisfies the thermostat quickly, shuts off, and starts again a few minutes later. That short-cycling wears out igniters and blower motors, leaves the far end of the house cold, and costs more to run than a properly sized unit.

Before quoting, we look at the square footage, the insulation and window area, ceiling heights, the layout and how many storeys the air has to travel, the ductwork you already have, and whether a basement is finished or planned. On acreages we also look at exposure — a house on open prairie with a north wind loses heat very differently from a sheltered lot in town.

Merit, Elite or Signature — what actually changes

Merit (ML series) — $5,682.30 installed

Single-stage heat: on at full output, then off. Reliable, straightforward and the lowest cost up front. It's the right call for rental properties, tighter budgets, and homes where the duct system is simple and even.

Elite (EL series) — $7,806.50 installed

Higher efficiency and better staging, so it runs longer at lower output instead of blasting and stopping. Noticeably quieter, more even room-to-room, and lower gas bills over a long Alberta heating season.

Signature (SLP99) — $8,336.90 installed

Modulating heat and a variable-speed blower: the system finds the output your house needs right now and holds it. The most even temperatures, the quietest operation, and the best fit for larger or multi-storey homes where comfort differences between floors are obvious.

What installation day looks like

Repair it or replace it?

We're asked this on almost every service call, and we answer it with numbers rather than pressure.

Age

A well-maintained furnace in Alberta generally lasts 20 to 25 years. Under about 12 years old, a repair is almost always the right call. Past 15 years with a major component failing, replacement usually wins on cost per remaining year.

The 50% rule

If the repair costs more than half of what a new system costs, you're spending real money to extend equipment that may only have a couple of seasons left.

Repeat repairs

Two or more significant repairs in two years is a pattern, not bad luck. Aging parts fail in sequence — $400 now and $700 in three months isn't a better deal than one planned replacement on your schedule.

You'll see both numbers

JD shows you the repair cost and the replacement cost side by side, explains what he'd do in his own home, and leaves the decision to you.

Straight talk about rebates

There's a lot of outdated rebate information online. As it stands: Alberta has no provincial furnace rebate program, and the federal Canada Greener Homes Grant closed to new applicants in February 2024. Lennox runs its own seasonal promotions, and when one applies to the equipment you're buying we'll tell you and apply it. We won't quote you a rebate that doesn't exist to make a price look better.

Propane on acreages

Outside the towns, plenty of properties around Sturgeon County, Legal, Westlock and Bon Accord run on propane rather than natural gas. It isn't a lesser setup — it just has to be done right. Orifices, gas pressure and venting all differ, and a furnace configured for the wrong fuel runs poorly at best.

We install and service both every week, and we'll tell you honestly whether your tank, line and equipment are a sensible match before anything gets ordered.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a new furnace cost in Edmonton?

Our Lennox furnace pricing is $5,682.30 for a 70,000 BTU Merit ML196UH070, $7,806.50 for the Elite EL297UH070 and $8,336.90 for the Signature SLP99UH070. Those prices are before GST and include installation, removal of the old furnace, the permit and a thermostat.

How long does a furnace replacement take?

A straightforward like-for-like replacement is usually finished in one day. If ductwork, venting or gas line changes are needed, we tell you before we start and the written quote shows it separately.

What size furnace do I need?

Sizing depends on square footage, insulation, window area, ceiling height and the layout of the home — not on what size was there before. An oversized furnace short-cycles, heats unevenly and wears out early.

What's the difference between Merit, Elite and Signature?

Merit is reliable, single-stage heat at the lowest price. Elite adds efficiency, quieter operation and better staging. Signature modulates almost continuously for the most even temperature and the lowest running cost.

Do you install propane furnaces?

Yes. Many acreages around Sturgeon County, Legal and Westlock run on propane. Propane equipment needs different orifices, gas pressure and venting than natural gas, and we set it up correctly for the fuel.

Is the permit really included?

Yes. JD holds municipal licensing in Edmonton and St. Albert and pulls permits across the communities we serve. The permit is part of the posted price, not an extra line on the invoice.

What warranty comes with a new furnace?

New installations carry a 10-year limited parts and labour warranty. Conditions apply — we go through exactly what's covered before you sign anything.

Should I replace the air conditioner at the same time?

If your AC is also near end of life, doing both at once saves a second visit and a second set of labour hours, and a matched Lennox system performs better than two units bought years apart.

Are there government rebates for a new furnace in Alberta?

Not currently. Alberta has no provincial furnace rebate, and the federal Canada Greener Homes Grant closed to new applicants in February 2024. Lennox runs manufacturer promotions from time to time — ask us what's actually available when you call, and we'll tell you straight.
