Tips for saving money on your furnace replacement

Although not as expensive as an A/C, installing a new furnace is still a large investment. The good news is that it’s an investment you can save a substantial amount of money on, if you do it right. Here are some no-brainer ways to save:

1. Get all the utility rebates you can. If you have Black Hills Energy, you can get $400 in rebates for installing an energy efficient furnace. Read up on the details here or use our rebate calculator to get a quick idea of how much you may be eligible for.

2. Think hard on repair vs replacement. A lot of people get stuck in the nasty predicament of having to choose between an expensive repair for an aging furnace and making an even larger investment in a new unit. The most important thing to consider is the age of your furnace. The average furnace in the United States lasts 22 years according to the U.S. Department of Energy — so if your furnace is anywhere close to that age, replacement is probably something you should think hard about.

3. Consider getting multiple quotes. If you don’t feel good about the first quote you got, get another (or two). On the exact same equipment, NWA homeowners regularly see quotes swing thousands — quotes are free, so the only cost is an hour of your time. If you’ve already got one and it feels off, we’ll come out for a free second opinion, no obligation to switch. (We also wrote up a real breakdown of NWA replacement costs with actual quotes and post-install utility bills if you want to see the math.)

How Franklin installs a furnace

Most replacements are a single-day job, but the difference between a furnace that lasts 22 years and one that limps to 12 is what happens during that day. Every Franklin install runs through 30+ commissioning checks — gas pressure, airflow, static pressure, electrical, venting, condensate, and more — before we leave. Shortly after the install, a second technician returns for a QA visit to verify the work was done to our standards and catch anything the install team might have missed. We pull the permit in advance, lay protective floor covering on day-of, haul away your old equipment, and coordinate the city inspection on your behalf.

I have been using Franklin AC Plumbing and Electrical now for the last 10 years. Have had nothing but great service from them. I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Ayden to repair a leaky shower valve. Ayden assessed and repaired the problem. No more leak! Thank You Franklin and thank you Ayden….

Francisco did a great job! He was prompt and very professional!

****Updated Review**** Management reached out to me. Maybe the call center rep wasn't understanding my issue. The Samsung part was again defective which is not a reflection on Franklin as it turns out. They were very hands on in resolving this issue under warranty. The owner even reached out to me a few days later to be sure the unit was functioning correctly. I really appreciate their quick attention to this matter! I purchased a Samsung Mini Split that has leaked Freon since installation. I’m always assured that “this time it’s been taken care of” only to have the problem happen the next Spring. Then the person answering the phone doesn’t listen or look at the previous calls and starts to insinuate that it hasn’t been maintained etc. I did have another HVAC company look at it and was told it was installed wrong. I only use it during the summer and at night. just want a working unit that doesn’t have to be charged every Spring for a few months of working.

Axell was great and friendly. He did a thorough job in checking everything out for me. He knows what he is doing and I will always ask for him every time I need something from Franklin.

FAQ

Common furnace replacement questions.

How quickly can you install a new furnace?
Most full furnace installs happen within 1–3 business days of quote approval. For emergency no-heat situations in winter, we’ll prioritize your install as soon as the equipment lands.
How much does a new furnace cost?
Furnace pricing varies with size (BTU), efficiency (AFUE), and brand. Our American Standard furnace installs start in the $3,000s, all-in (equipment + install + permit + haul-away + rebate processing). Higher-efficiency 96% AFUE units cost more up front but qualify for utility rebates — we handle the rebate paperwork on your behalf. Free, all-in quote before any work begins.
Should I replace the AC at the same time?
Often yes — matched systems run more efficiently and most manufacturers require matched indoor and outdoor units to get the maximum warranty. If your AC is also approaching end-of-life, replacing both at once usually saves on labor costs.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every Franklin technician works under our Arkansas state licensing, and we're fully insured (general liability + workers' comp). Our team is also background-checked and drug-tested. Email us if you'd like proof of license and insurance.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes — every job is backed by the Franklin Service Guarantee. If something we repaired or installed isn't right, we'll come back and make it right at no charge.
What is the $29 service call?
It's our diagnostic visit. A licensed technician comes out, figures out what's actually going on, and gives you an all-in flat-rate price for the repair before any work starts. If you decide not to move forward, you only owe the $29 — no penalty. Replacement quotes (water heaters, AC systems, panels, etc.) are always free.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We've teamed up with Wells Fargo to offer financing on home repairs over $500, upon credit approval. See our financing page for current promotions, or ask your technician for options before approving the quote.
Do you offer services other than this?
Yes — Franklin handles HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. Same crew, same $29 service call, same flat-rate guarantee.
