shopping for new furnace here what costs for new furnace installed?

i know stuff varies all over the lot but am waiting for home depot to
get out and do estimate.

This varies a lot based on home size of course. You could be in a
mansion or a townhome.

I can offer a datapoint at least from quote activity this month. A
95% Carier or Bryant system with variable speed blower, 2-stage,
Evolution Control (which I wouldn't necessarily rush to recommend),
and a 10yr parts/labor factory-backed extended warranty for a 2500ish
sq ft house in suburban Chicago came with quotes from $3700-$4700 from
reputable, factory trained shops. Bryant is offering a $150 rebate
right now until Nov for whatever that's worth and is the exact same
factory/parts as Carrier with different paint and labeling.
80,000/52,000 BTU 94.1% AFUE units by the way, which replaced a
100,000 BTU 65% efficient unit.

Drop the Evolution control and you pay $325-450 less. Drop variable
speed and you pay about $800ish less. Go down to 80% AFUE and you pay
about $1000 less.

just looking for ballpark costs

If you go through Home Depot, add some profit marging for them over
what a local hvac shop might do. They just subcontract the stuff out
anyway. At least that's the way it seems to work on a lot of their
other installation services.
