Furnace Replacement in Warwick, RI — Free In-Home Quote
Furnace replacement in Warwick splits into two patterns. Inland Apponaug, Hoxsie, and Western Warwick: typical gas furnace replacements at $4,500-$9,500 across three efficiency tiers. Coastal Conimicut and Warwick Neck: gas furnaces are less common (more oil-heated stock) and the conversation usually shifts toward heat pump alternatives because Clean Heat RI rebates make the math compelling. Horizon does free in-home quotes within 24 hours, written flat-rate pricing, pulls every permit. License #00007430. Call (401) 425-9879.

Sound familiar? Here is what Warwick homeowners tell us when they call:
- Your Apponaug gas furnace is 19 years old, has visible rust on the heat exchanger, and the last service call cost $850 for what felt like a band-aid.
- Three Warwick quotes ranged $5,400-$12,200 and the differences aren't explained anywhere in the writeups.
- The contractor pushed the most expensive 95%+ AFUE two-stage system for a 1,200 sq ft Hoxsie ranch.
- Your Conimicut oil furnace is failing and every quote so far ignores the heat pump alternative even though oil prices keep climbing.
- Warwick Neck install needs to happen in 5 days because tenants are moving in and most contractors are quoting 3-week timelines.
Here is how Horizon HVAC solves it in Warwick:
Warwick furnace replacement starts with a real assessment visit. Tech on-site for 60 minutes doing BTU load calculation, ductwork audit (Warwick’s older ranches and bungalows often have ductwork sized for smaller older furnaces), gas-line check (some inland Warwick neighborhoods have older gas mains that need verification), electrical capacity verification. Written quote arrives within 24 hours with three options: 80% AFUE entry $4,500-$5,500 (rentals or tight budget), 95% AFUE single-stage $5,800-$7,200 (most common Warwick gas pick), 95%+ two-stage variable $7,500-$9,500 (larger homes or owners staying 15+ years).
Pricing transparency cuts through the local quote spread. The reason you’re seeing $5k-$12k quotes for the same install: padding for margin or commission spiff. Our quote is what we’ll charge — flat-rate, in writing, all-inclusive (permit, removal, manufacturer warranty registration, 1-year Horizon labor warranty). Warwick install scheduling typically runs 3-5 business days from signed quote to install start in normal weather; same-day or next-day install possible if your size is in stock and you have a no-heat emergency in winter. Synchrony 0% financing for 12 months on approved credit, application from your phone.
Warwick furnace replacement should always include the heat pump alternative when oil or propane is involved — coastal Warwick has more oil-heated homes than inland RI towns, and Clean Heat RI rebates ($11,500 max stack) routinely make heat pump conversion the cheaper long-term math. We quote both options side-by-side when fuel switching is a possibility, with rebates already calculated and coastal-rated equipment specified for installs within 1 mile of saltwater. If you’re on natural gas (most of inland Apponaug and Hoxsie), we typically recommend furnace replacement and tell you so — gas is cheap, install cost is lower, replacement-cycle math favors furnace.

Our Warwick Service Area
Horizon HVAC’s service area covers all of Warwick, RI — including Apponaug, Conimicut, Warwick Neck, and Hoxsie (or any neighborhood in between). ZIP codes we serve here: 02886, 02888, 02889. Our techs dispatch from our headquarters in Pawtucket — average drive time to Warwick is roughly 25 minutes, which means same-day appointments in 90%+ of cases. Warwick has a heavy waterfront population in Conimicut and Warwick Neck where salt-air corrosion shortens condenser life — we recommend coil coatings and stainless hardware on coastal installs.
What Warwick Homeowners Say
★★★★★“Got quotes from four companies for a furnace replacement. Horizon wasn't the cheapest, but their quote was the most detailed — walked us through three options at three price points, no high-pressure sales. Install crew finished in a day, cleaned up after themselves, and the new system runs noticeably quieter.”
Warwick Furnace Replacement — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a furnace replacement cost in Warwick?
Typical range: $4,500-$9,500 installed including permit, removal of old unit, 1-year labor warranty, and manufacturer warranty registration. Variables: BTU sizing (right-sizing matters more than oversizing), efficiency rating (80% AFUE vs 95%+), and brand. Three tiers: entry-level 80% AFUE single-stage $4,500-$5,500, mid 95% AFUE single-stage $5,800-$7,200, premium 95%+ AFUE two-stage variable speed $7,500-$9,500. We give a flat quote in writing — no surprises at the invoice stage.
How fast can you install a new furnace in Warwick?
Free quote within 24 hours of the in-home visit. Install scheduled 3-5 business days after you sign — faster during off-season (May-September). Same-day install possible if we have your size in stock and you’re on a no-heat emergency. We pull the permit, register the manufacturer warranty, and schedule the post-install inspection — you don’t coordinate with town hall.
Should I replace with a furnace or switch to a heat pump?
If you’re on natural gas in Warwick, modern condensing furnace (95%+ AFUE) is usually the right call — gas is cheap in RI, install cost is lower, and replacement-cycle math favors furnace. If you’re on oil, propane, or electric resistance — heat pump beats furnace on annual cost AND qualifies for up to $11,500 in Clean Heat RI rebates. We quote both side-by-side when oil/propane is involved so you see the math, not the sales pitch.
Do you serve all of Warwick for furnace installs?
Yes — every neighborhood: Apponaug, Conimicut, Warwick Neck, and the surrounding 12 areas. ZIPs we install in: 02886, 02888, 02889. Warwick has a heavy waterfront population in Conimicut and Warwick Neck where salt-air corrosion shortens condenser life — we recommend coil coatings and stainless hardware on coastal installs.
What brands do you install?
Trane, Carrier, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, First Company, Coleman — factory-trained on all. We recommend based on your house, budget, and how long you plan to stay — not the brand we’re pushing this month. Brand differences matter less than sizing and install quality; an oversized premium furnace performs worse than a properly-sized entry-level one.
Do you handle the permit?
Yes — included in every quote. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection with the Warwick building inspector, and pass it. We also register the manufacturer warranty for you so you don’t lose warranty days waiting on paperwork. You don’t deal with town hall or warranty registration — that’s our job.
What warranty do you offer on repairs and installations?
On installations: full manufacturer warranty (typically 10 years on parts for major equipment) plus our 1-year labor warranty. We register every install with the manufacturer for you so you do not lose warranty days waiting on paperwork. On repairs: we warranty the specific part we replaced for 1 full year — if it fails for any reason within 12 months of the repair, we replace it at no charge. Comfort Club members get extended labor warranties — 2 years on installs and 18 months on repairs.
