Signs It's Time to Replace Your Furnace
Furnace replacement usually makes sense when two or more of these are true. If a repair is still the better buy, we’ll say so, and our heating repair page covers the fixes.
- It's more than 15 years old and needs a major repair
- A technician found a cracked heat exchanger, which can leak carbon monoxide
- Its age times the repair cost tops $5,000 (the "$5,000 rule" some homeowners use)
- You've needed heating repairs more than one winter in a row
- Your gas bills keep climbing with no change in how you heat the house
What's Included in a Stoneman Furnace Installation
Every Stoneman furnace installation includes:
- Permits: we pull the county gas and mechanical permits for the job.
- Removal and haul-away: we disconnect the old furnace safely and haul it away.
- Venting and ductwork: we set up the venting your new furnace needs. If your ducts need changes, our metal fabrication team builds them in-house.
- Startup and safety testing: we test combustion, run a carbon monoxide check, set up the thermostat and test the whole system before we leave.
- Stoneman Concierge visit: after the install, our Concierge team comes back to go over the system and thermostat with you.
Which Heating System Fits Your Home?
For most Midlothian homes with gas, the choice is how efficient a furnace to buy and whether to pair it with a heat pump. A standard furnace is rated about 80% AFUE, meaning about 80% of the gas it burns becomes heat. A high-efficiency condensing furnace is rated 90% or higher and vents through PVC pipe instead of a metal flue, so switching can mean new venting, a condensate drain and, if your water heater shared the old flue, new venting for it too. The Richmond area needs about half the heating a Minneapolis home does, so the upgrade pays back more slowly here, though it adds up in a large or drafty house. A dual-fuel system adds a heat pump that heats on mild days, with the gas furnace taking over on the coldest mornings. Our heat pump vs gas furnace guide compares the two. Homes without gas usually heat with an electric furnace or a heat pump.

How Much Does a New Furnace Cost in Midlothian?
The price of a new furnace depends on five things, so we quote it after a free in-home estimate rather than from a chart: the furnace’s size, its efficiency rating, whether the venting has to change, how much the ductwork needs, and whether a heat pump is part of the system. You get the price up front, with a clear explanation of what’s included and no pressure to decide that day. Financing is available for qualified applicants on new installations and replacement systems.

Furnace Installation & Replacement FAQs
How long does a furnace installation take?
A straightforward furnace replacement is usually done in a day. Switching to a high-efficiency furnace that needs new venting, adding a heat pump for dual fuel, or ductwork changes can add time. We’ll give you the timeline with your estimate.
What size furnace do I need?
The right size depends on the house, not on the furnace you’re replacing. An oversized furnace heats in short bursts, which wears parts faster and leaves some rooms warmer than others. An undersized one runs nonstop on the coldest mornings. Square footage is a starting point, but insulation, windows, ductwork and the number of floors all change the answer. We size the furnace during your free in-home estimate.
Should I replace my AC at the same time as my furnace?
Often, if the AC is more than 10 years old. The furnace’s blower moves the air for both systems, and the AC’s indoor coil usually sits on the furnace, so replacing both together means one installation and equipment matched to work together. If your AC is newer and working well, we can replace the furnace alone. See AC installation.
Are there rebates or tax credits for a new furnace?
If Columbia Gas of Virginia is your gas company, it offers a rebate on gas furnaces rated 90% AFUE or higher in existing homes heated with gas. Check its furnace rebate page for this year’s terms. The federal tax credit for home heating equipment ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025. Virginia’s Home Energy Rebates for income-qualified households haven’t launched, and when they do, they’ll cover heat pumps rather than furnaces.
