Furnace Replacement in Leavenworth, WA

Up-valley homes run their heat hard from fall into spring, and many burn propane or run an electric furnace. When yours is done, we'll walk the house, lay out a new furnace, a dual-fuel setup or a heat pump side by side, and put a written price in your hands before anything is ordered.

From first call to first heat

How a furnace swap goes in the upper valley.

The order matters most for electric-furnace homes, because Chelan PUD wants its paperwork in before the new equipment arrives.

  1. We look at the house. A comfort advisor checks the old furnace, the ducts, the venting and the fuel supply, whether that's a propane tank, a gas line or a breaker panel.
  2. You get choices in writing. Each option lists the equipment, the installed price and what changes in the house. Nothing is ordered until you pick one.
  3. Rebate paperwork, if it applies. Moving from an electric furnace to a ducted heat pump? We file the Chelan PUD pre-approval before ordering.
  4. Install day. Our crew pulls the old unit, sets the new one, connects and tests it, and cleans up.
  5. Walk-through. We show you the thermostat and the filter, and you get the warranty terms in writing.

Replacing the furnace in a cabin or second home?

Plenty of houses around Leavenworth sit empty for weeks at a time. Tell us when you or a caretaker can open the door, and we'll set the estimate and the install around those days. Note it in the form below so the office sees it first.

Installed prices, October 2026

What a new furnace or heat pump costs in Leavenworth.

Where we have a set range, it runs from our smallest Good system to our largest Best system, before tax. Where we don't, the price comes from the free estimate, because venting, the fuel line and the ducts differ from house to house.

Option Installed Worth knowing
New gas or propane furnace Free estimate Priced at the house after we check venting and the fuel supply
New electric furnace Free estimate A like-for-like swap; ask us to price a heat pump alongside it
Dual fuel: heat pump + gas furnace $15,706–$26,748 The furnace covers the coldest nights; you also get cooling
Ducted heat pump + air handler
in place of an electric furnace 		$15,331–$26,702 Uses your existing ducts; see the Chelan PUD incentive below

Not ready to replace? A repair visit is $149 dispatch in Leavenworth, Peshastin and Dryden, or $189 in Plain and Lake Wenatchee, plus a $72, $100 or $130 diagnostic fee. Those fees aren't credited toward a repair or a new system. Leavenworth furnace repair →

Picking a direction

Keep a furnace, or move to a heat pump?

Staying with a furnace

  • Fits a home already set up for propane or natural gas.
  • Strong, steady heat through long snowy stretches.
  • Pair it with a heat pump (dual fuel) if you'd like summer cooling too.

Switching to a heat pump

  • Usually the better move for a house on an electric furnace.
  • Heats and cools from one system through your existing ducts.
  • Can open the Chelan PUD conversion incentive. Heat pumps in Leavenworth →

We install Carrier, Lennox, Bosch, Mitsubishi and other leading brands, and we're a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer. New equipment carries the maker's parts warranty (Carrier's runs up to 10 years), and Alpine Aire adds one year of parts and labor. Our NATE-certified technicians can keep it running with the AA Comfort Club: a spring and a fall visit for $300 per system a year, or $25 a month.

At your estimate

What we look at before we quote a Leavenworth replacement.

  • How much heat the house needs. We size to your rooms, windows and insulation, not to the old furnace's label.
  • Venting and fuel. The flue path, plus the propane tank or gas line feeding the furnace.
  • Ducts and return air. Leaky or undersized ducts are a common reason for a cold bedroom.
  • Electrical capacity. A heat pump or electric furnace needs the right circuit at the panel.
  • Where an outdoor unit can sit. Up off the ground and out from under roof snow and drips.
  • The thermostat. Whether yours will run the new system, or a new one is needed.

Have last winter's heating bills or the old furnace's paperwork? Keep them handy for the visit. They help us size the new system and compare running costs between options.
