As I understand it, high efficiency furnaces may need additional venting and ducting that an older furnace does not. It would be part of the costs to consider with a new furnace including the labour/fees associated with the disposal of the old furnace but still probably relatively small vs the actual cost of the furnace unit itself.
The energy and cost savings with a new high efficiency furnace probably quickly makes those amounts negligible though.
