The unit is 11 years old and only 80 and i have the option to upgrade the furnace while i m relocating it.
Cost to move furnace to attic.
New r6 ducts in the attic.
The usual place you ll find furnaces in homes across the u s.
Well mainly it s a way to save space.
Some things to consider.
You would need to get several bids from heating and a c contractors your search the list category but normally probably 1000 2000 range for a boiler and i would guess probably closer to the 2000 4000 range for a forced air.
Upgrade to a brand new trane xv95 95 furnace.
While this may work well in some homes it isn t the only place where your furnace can be located.
But in southern california basements are extremely rare so most homes have floor furnaces a k a.
Most updated central air conditioned homes have a new air conditioner split system meaning the ac is broken up into parts.
Attic hvac systems save space.
They charged me 4800 to move furnace using existing venting but did move gas line 25ft.
Here is the price difference.
Issue 1 the biggest but not always the most obvious factor restricting the limits to relocate either water heater or gas furnace is the vent or chimney pipe.
And more like 2500 3500 if it is moved such that significant ducting additions and relocation of the wiring is.
Cost depends so much on your code requirements in your area whether it can actually fit where you want it on its side or has to be relocated elsewhere in the garage with associated duct additions etc i would be startled to see it done for less than 1000 even if just elevated in place where it is and would guess more like 2000 range without significant duct additions.
Depends of course on your house configuaration and especially on the ducting layout assuming forced air here if you mean a hydronic heating hot water boiler then hooking it up to the circulatory system is easier just some modified pipe runs to the loops.
All labor electrical gas work etc included.
They did not repair any dry wall i removed old furance.
Unfortunately in california it is extremely unusual to find a home with a basement so contractors usually install a floor furnace or closet furnace.
But this isn t the only place that you can have a furnace to keep your home warm.
To move the electric and gas supply to it i would say rough ballpark probably around 300 give or take 100 or so each as applicable for those around 300 or so to relocate wood platform if applicable if in garage or probably more like 500 600 range to build a new one if needed in new location.
Furnace move could be as little as under 1000 in ideal conditions but i would guess probably more like 2000 3000 range in many cases more if ducts have to be run through finished surfaces so you have typically 500 1500 drywall and repainting costs afterwards as well.
So why put an hvac system up in the attic at all.
In many cases the furnace can be moved from a closet and into your attic.
An outdoor unit which houses the fan condenser and compressor and an indoor unit which holds the evaporator and fan.
There is almost always a way to improve on an existing floor space by relocating the furnace and possibly the water heater but the overall costs can blow the budget pretty fast.
