I would guess you could get the furnace + install for around $4,000....$5,000 is starting to get a bit pricey IMO.

I just had a furnace tech over 20 minutes ago and he was saying the problem now is that by law mid eff furnaces are outlawed. Therefore you have to get a high eff furnace in as they can't buy them to install.

So that's normally 4,000-5,000 to do but the problem is the new ducting can hit $3,000 for the new ones required for high-eff. Therefore making this a lot more than you wanted.

He said the best thing for now is to try and make your mid-eff last as long as you reasonable can.
