In Follansbee, WV, a full furnace installation typically costs between $2,600 and $5,550 and takes about 4–8 hours. A correct installation goes beyond replacing equipment—it involves proper load sizing, duct testing, and commissioning to guarantee safe, even heat through Follansbee’s long, damp winters.
Follansbee’s hillside terrain and older steel-era homes along Neville Street, Eldersville Road, and the Main Street corridor make airflow balance crucial. Many homes still have undersized or uninsulated ducts that cause uneven heating. The Allegheny Plateau climate brings cold winds and high humidity from the Ohio River, pushing furnaces harder than average. Honest Fix technicians run full load calculations and airflow measurements before installation to ensure each system is right for the home.
Every project begins with a pre-installation review—verifying measurements, venting, and securing city or Brooke County permits. The old furnace is removed carefully, flooring protected, and gas and electrical lines updated to current code. The new furnace is leveled, sealed to existing ducts, and tested for airflow, pressure, and combustion safety. All results are recorded in a commissioning report confirming performance before the technician leaves.
Prices vary with furnace efficiency, duct condition, and space accessibility. High-efficiency 95–98% AFUE units cost more but can lower heating bills up to 25%. Homes with tight basements or aging ductwork may need balancing for better airflow. Every Honest Fix quote includes permitting, commissioning, and a first-year maintenance visit under the Lifetime Trust Shield—no hidden charges or skipped steps.
