Heil furnaces
Homeowners shopping for a new furnace have a lot to consider. They should factor in their local weather conditions, fuel consumption and the furnace’s affordability. Other factors include unit efficiency and home size.
Types of Heil furnaces
Heil offers a wide selection of gas furnaces that vary based on consumer usage. Heil gas furnaces series include Ion, QuietComfort and Performance, while blower speeds include variable, constant torque, multi and fixed.
Annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) ratings for Heil furnaces range from 80% to 98%. When considering what furnace to buy, homeowners should choose their furnace’s AFUE percentage based on the climate in which they live.
- Warmer climates may only need an AFUE of 80% to 90%. These models include the N8MXL, N8MSN, G8MTL and G8MVL.
- Cold climates might require an AFUE from 90% to 95%. These models include the N9MSE.
- The coldest climates will likely need an AFUE of 95% or higher. These models include the G97CMN, G9MXT, G9MAE, G9MVE and G9MXE.

Heil furnace pricing
Heil furnaces can vary in price depending on the state where the homeowner lives and the weather in their area. Additional factors include if the homeowner is paying for the furnace unit only or if they want professional installation.
Prices range from $885 to $1,725 for the unit only and $2,350 to $3,357 for the unit with installation included. Local power company rebates and other similar programs can also affect costs. For an accurate quote including installation, homeowners should contact a local HVAC professional.
Consult a contractor
Homeowners thinking about purchasing a new furnace or upgrading an existing one should speak to a local contractor. An HVAC professional can measure heat output in the home, indicating the type of furnace needed to sufficiently heat the home all winter long.
Additionally, an HVAC professional can help you select the right furnace for your needs. Installing a new furnace is a serious investment that requires money and time. A professional ensures that the correct unit is installed properly and works efficiently.
