Furnace Installation or Replacement? We Do Both
Whether you need a new furnace for a new construction or it’s time to replace your aging system, Genz-Ryan provides 24/7 installation services throughout the Twin Cities. Here’s when a furnace replacement is recommended:
Uneven Heating
Your furnace should heat every room consistently. If some rooms are too hot while others stay cold, it may be time for a properly-sized replacement.
Rising Energy Bills
Good furnaces should be energy-efficient. A 20-30% increase in heating costs often signals it’s time for a replacement.
15+ Year Old Unit
The average lifespan for most furnaces is 15-20 years. After this, efficiency drops and repairs become more frequent.
Frequent Cycling
A furnace that turns on and off constantly may have damaged sensors or be incorrectly sized for your home.

Gas Furnaces
Natural gas furnaces are the most cost-effective option for cold climates, providing powerful heating for Minnesota’s extreme temperatures. They have lower operating costs than electric furnaces and provide reliable, consistent heat even on the coldest days. Natural gas is widely available throughout the Twin Cities metro area.
Gas furnaces cost between $4,000 and $10,000 installed, depending on efficiency and features. While the upfront cost is higher than electric, the lower monthly heating bills make gas the best choice for most Minnesota homeowners.
Electric Furnaces
Electric furnaces have the lowest installation cost, typically $1,000-$3,000, and are compact with no venting required. They’re nearly 100% efficient at the point of use and have no combustion, which means no carbon monoxide risk.
However, electric furnaces typically can’t provide the level of heating needed for Minnesota’s extreme cold. They also have much higher operating costs since electricity is more expensive than natural gas. Electric furnaces work better as supplemental heat or in southern climates, but are not recommended as the primary heating source in Minnesota.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get a Free QuoteDo I need a furnace with a heat pump?
Twin Cities winters are very cold, which can sometimes reduce the efficiency of heat pumps. To solve this issue, consider a hybrid system, which combines a heat pump with a gas furnace. Homeowners with a hybrid comfort system use their heat pump for most heating and cooling needs and then switch to their furnace when temperatures dip well below freezing.
What are your most common furnace problems?
At Genz-Ryan, our most common heating problems that we encounter include faulty thermostats, igniter failures, thermocouple failures, dirty flame sensors, sooty burners, faulty fan limiters, faulty capacitors, and clogged filters. All of these are relatively minor and inexpensive to repair.
Why is my furnace making noise?
If your furnace starts making strange noises, it can be any number of issues including booms and bangs from delayed ignition, clicking from a damaged igniter or failed flame sensor, rattling from loose screws and damaged components, and shrieking motor belts and friction on other misaligned parts.
How can I maximize heating efficiency in the Minnesota winter?
When winter comes through, get the most from your furnace with these winter furnace tips:
- Reduce your thermostat setting (or let a smart thermostat do it) before bed
- Maintain comfortable humidity with a humidifier
- Keep up with annual maintenance and monthly filter replacement
