One of my furnaces is in the garage and prevents me from getting 2 cars in there.
Cost to move furnace to attic.
And they said they would take old furance but still here and charged me 400 for thermostat and put in 68 one and charged me 3700 to move water heater next to furnace in garage with pex pipe.
Some things to consider.
Issue 1 the biggest but not always the most obvious factor restricting the limits to relocate either water heater or gas furnace is the vent or chimney pipe.
The usual place you ll find furnaces in homes across the u s.
Well mainly it s a way to save space.
You might not receive the same air movement benefits if the unit is in a garage either.
According to the u s department of energy the furnace s energy efficiency can drop by 35 when installed in an unconditioned space like the attic.
Because the furnace is installed in the attic so are air ducts which deliver air to your rooms.
Most updated central air conditioned homes have a new air conditioner split system meaning the ac is broken up into parts.
A furnace in the attic is a design that works for all homes.
Then for actually relocating the furnace talking forced air here can be as little as around 1000 1500 if simple single supply and return ducts in the furnace area i have also seen flex duct octopus nightmares which would probably take 2000 range or even more to effect the relocation.
I want to build a shelf and get the furnace off the floor so i can actually get 2 cars in the garage.
Heated air flowing through those ducts will lose heat when the unconditioned attic is cold forcing the furnace to run longer.
They did not repair any dry wall i removed old furance.

So why put an hvac system up in the attic at all.
Assuming your attic is unheated putting the furnace up there unless you build a utility room for it will also be less energy efficient both because it is having to push the hot air down into the house the opposite way it naturally wants to flow as hot air rises the furnace waste heat will be largely lost to the outside air rather than.
If you don t have a crawl space or a basement then it can be a challenge to place a furnace on the ground floor of the structure.
