What Makes Eagan Unique for Furnace Sizing

Many Eagan homes were built in the 1980s–1990s boom, when builders sometimes oversized furnaces — a practice that wastes energy and causes short-cycling. If your furnace turns on and off frequently, it may be too large for your home. Use our BTU Calculator to check proper sizing before buying a replacement.

Eagan Home Heating Profiles

  • 1980s split-level (1,600–2,200 sq ft): 80,000 BTU two-stage — most common replacement
  • 2000s two-story (2,200–3,000 sq ft): 80,000–100,000 BTU two-stage
