It depends mostly on the furnace you choose and whether your home needs new venting or gas line work. A high-efficiency furnace, for example, may need a new vent pipe. Financing is available through Synchrony and Service Finance.

First Call Jewel handles furnace installation in Idaho Falls and across Eastern Idaho, where heating season runs from October through April. That’s seven months of the year your home or business depends on its furnace. When an old furnace struggles to make it through the season, we replace it with one that heats your home evenly.
How your new furnace is installed matters too. We take the time to measure your home and size your furnace to match your space and ductwork, so it runs well and lasts longer. We’ve been family-owned and based in Idaho Falls since 1947, and our technicians are licensed, bonded, and insured. Call (208) 522-7777, or book online.

Signs It’s Time for a New Furnace
It’s not always easy to tell if a furnace needs replacing. These are the most common signs:
-
Your furnace is 15 years old or older. Around this age, parts start to wear, and problems become more common.
-
Repair bills keep adding up. At some point, a new furnace can make more sense than another repair.
-
Heating bills keep climbing, since older furnaces are generally less efficient than newer ones.
-
Some rooms never warm up, no matter how long you run the furnace.

What a New Furnace Does for Your Home
Whether your furnace is aging or was never installed right, a new one can make a difference you’ll notice all winter. Here’s how:
-
Every room stays warm, even on those cold January nights.
-
You’ll pay less on heating bills, since newer furnaces use less fuel.
-
Every new furnace we install comes with a manufacturer warranty, so you’re protected if a covered part fails.
-
You get peace of mind, since our trained technicians set up the safety controls and venting correctly, and every install is permitted and inspected.

Furnace Types and Sizing for Idaho Falls Homes
Trust a First Call Jewel technician to help you find the right furnace for your home, based on the fuel you use and how much heat you need.
FURNACE TYPES
About half of Idaho Falls homes heat with natural gas and nearly half with electricity.
We install three fuel types:
-
Gas furnaces run on natural gas or propane. A natural gas furnace usually costs less to run than an electric or oil furnace.
-
Electric furnaces heat your home with heating elements instead of a flame.
-
Oil furnaces are an option for homes that already heat with oil.
Gas furnaces come in three styles:
-
A single-stage furnace runs at full power every time and typically costs the least upfront.
-
A two-stage furnace runs on low most of the time and steps up on really cold days.
-
A modulating furnace adjusts the gas flow in small steps for the most even heat.
FURNACE SIZING
We work to ensure each furnace is the correct size for how much heat your home loses and what your air ducts can distribute. When it comes to heating power, bigger is not better. Just right is best. A furnace that’s too big can leave your home too hot, then too cold, and wear out sooner. One that’s sized properly keeps you comfortable and can last longer.
What to Expect on Install Day
Whether your furnace installation is in Idaho Falls, Rexburg, Blackfoot, Pocatello, or elsewhere in Eastern Idaho, you’ll know who’s coming to your home and what to expect. Your installation is done by technicians who specialize in heating. They arrive in a First Call Jewel van and uniforms, and everyone who works in your home is background-checked and drug-tested, so you can rest assured of your safety. Before any work starts, we walk you through the plan. Then we remove your old furnace, install the new one, and handle the required permit and inspection. Once it’s installed, we make sure your new furnace and thermostat are working correctly, and yearly furnace maintenance helps keep it that way.

Furnace Installation FAQ
How much does a furnace installation cost in Idaho Falls?
How long does it take to install a new furnace?
A straight swap is often done in a day. Adding new venting or moving a gas line can take longer.
Is a two-stage or modulating furnace worth it?
For a lot of homes, yes. They keep the temperature more even, so rooms don’t swing from too hot to too cold. They cost more upfront, but if it fits your budget, they’re worth it.
