Furnace Installation Cost in Vancouver (2026)
If you're replacing a furnace in Vancouver, you can expect to pay between $4,500 and $7,500 for a complete installation of a high-efficiency gas furnace. This range covers equipment, labour, permits, and disposal of your old unit. The exact cost depends on the furnace model, your home's existing infrastructure, and whether any modifications to ductwork or gas lines are needed.
Vancouver homeowners have the advantage of a mild climate that doesn't demand the highest-output furnaces. A properly sized mid-range unit from Lennox, Carrier, or Daikin will keep your home comfortable through even the coldest weeks of the year while keeping your gas bills low.

Money-Saving Tips
Apply for FortisBC rebates — up to $1,000 for qualifying high-efficiency furnaces. Schedule your installation in spring or summer when demand is lower and contractors may offer off-season pricing. Consider a two-stage furnace which costs slightly more upfront but saves 10-15% on gas annually compared to single-stage models.
