Furnace Installation in Kokomo, Indiana
A new furnace is the biggest comfort decision a Kokomo homeowner makes, and the one most often rushed in a cold snap. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling installs gas and electric furnaces, heat pumps and dual-fuel systems across Howard and Tipton counties, sized to the house rather than copied off the old unit’s nameplate. We’re a Lennox Premier Dealer with the Circle of Excellence award, we install most systems within a few days of the estimate, and every installation carries our Worry-Free Guarantee. Estimates are free, in your home, with the price in writing.

What’s Included in a Summers Furnace Installation in Kokomo
- A Manual J load calculation on your house, not a guess from the old furnace’s size. Undersized and oversized units are the top cause of short cycling in the older two-story homes around downtown Kokomo and the slab ranches east of US-31.
- Removal and haul-away of the old furnace.
- New furnace, venting, condensate drain and gas connection, with permit and inspection through the City of Kokomo or Howard County as required.
- A new filter rack and, where needed, return-air corrections so the furnace can breathe.
- Thermostat setup and a walkthrough of the system before we leave.
- Registration of the manufacturer’s warranty in your name.
Furnace Options for Howard County Homes
- 80% AFUE gas furnaces — the lower-cost option, common in Kokomo homes with an existing metal flue.
- 96%+ AFUE condensing furnaces — PVC venting, lower gas bills, and the models that qualify for utility rebates and the federal efficiency tax credit while it lasts.
- Two-stage and variable-speed furnaces — quieter and steadier heat for larger or two-story homes that have hot and cold rooms.
- Heat pumps and dual-fuel — a heat pump for the shoulder months with the gas furnace taking over below about 30°F; a strong fit for all-electric homes in Tipton County.
- Ductless mini splits — for additions, garages and older homes without ducts. See ductless mini split installation.
We install Lennox as a Premier Dealer and service every other brand. We don’t install oil furnaces.
What a New Furnace Costs in Kokomo
Rather than a price range you can’t act on, we give you three written options at the estimate, good or better or best, and we meet or beat any written quote from another local company. Financing with approved credit is available on every tier, and current furnace installation specials change monthly. Removal of the old furnace, permit and inspection are included in every quote.
How Fast Can You Install in Kokomo?
Estimate within a day or two of your call, installation usually within a few days of approval, and same-week when you have no heat. A typical furnace swap takes one day; a furnace-and-AC system or a conversion from a boiler takes two. The crew that installed it also handles the warranty.
Before and After Your Installation
If your old furnace has been struggling, read signs it’s time to replace your furnace first. If the ducts haven’t been cleaned since the house was built, duct cleaning before the new furnace goes in keeps the new coil clean. In a dry Kokomo winter, a whole-home humidifier installed with the furnace is the cheapest comfort upgrade there is. After installation, our furnace maintenance plan keeps the warranty valid and the system tuned.

Furnace Installation FAQs
Do I need a permit to replace a furnace in Kokomo?
Yes, a mechanical permit is required inside Kokomo city limits and in Howard County, and the installation is inspected. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job; if a company skips it, that’s a reason to get another quote.
What size furnace does my house need?
It depends on square footage, insulation, windows and ductwork, not on what was there before. Many Kokomo homes have furnaces 20 to 30 percent oversized from the 1990s. We run a load calculation at the estimate and show you the result.
Should I replace the AC at the same time?
If the air conditioner is 12+ years old, replacing both together saves the labor of a second visit and lets us match the indoor coil to the furnace. If the AC is newer, we install the furnace alone with no penalty.
Are there rebates for a high-efficiency furnace in Indiana?
Gas utility rebates for 95%+ AFUE furnaces and smart thermostats come and go, and the federal 25C tax credit covers a portion of qualifying furnaces and heat pumps. We tell you what applies at the estimate and handle the paperwork we can.
What is the Worry-Free Guarantee?
If the system we installed doesn’t perform as promised, we make it right, including labor. Combined with the manufacturer’s parts warranty and our maintenance plan, you’re covered for the life of the furnace.
