1960s–1980s Housing Stock
Coon Rapids homes from this era often have original or first-replacement furnaces in the 15–30 year range. Signs it's time to replace: rising energy bills, frequent repairs, uneven room temperatures, or a cracked heat exchanger. Upgrading from a 70% to 96% AFUE unit saves 15–20% annually on heating costs.
