When heating or HVAC systems in homes or commercial properties require venting through the roof, proper installation matters. For property owners in Accra, understanding the cost of replacing a furnace roof vent is important for budgeting maintenance or upgrades that protect comfort, safety, and investment value.
A roof vent connected to a furnace or HVAC exhaust keeps harmful gases away from living spaces and ensures efficient system operation. Over time, these vents may degrade due to:
Weather damage, corrosion or rust from coastal/humid conditions
Improper installation or flashing failures leading to roof leaks
Build-up or blockage affecting system performance
Replacing the vent prevents structural damage, ensures safe exhaust, and supports system efficiency.
While specific Ghana-market data for furnace roof vent replacement is limited, international benchmarks provide guidance:
In other regions, roof vent replacement labour and parts often run US $250 to $600 for typical installations. Angi+2HomeGuide+2
In Accra, considering local materials, labour, roof access and humidity factors, a realistic estimate would be:
GHS 500 – GHS 1,500 for a simple residential vent replacement with good access.
GHS 1,500 – GHS 4,000+ for more complex jobs (high-rise roof, multiple penetrations, required roofing repair or flashing replacement).
These figures are indicative; actual cost will depend on scope, materials, and site conditions.
Type and size of vent: Basic vent caps cost less than large turbine or powered exhaust vents.
Roof accessibility and height: Higher roofs or steep pitches increase labour and risk.
Roof condition and repair needs: If flashing, decking or roofing around the vent is damaged, costs rise.
Material quality and local supply: Imported parts or premium finishes increase price.
Labour and logistics: Mobilization, safety equipment and roof-work time add cost.
System integration: If replacing vent tied to furnace or HVAC exhaust, may involve additional ducting, sealing or inspection.
Request detailed quotations that list vent type, flashing work, removal of old vent, roof repair, and warranty.
Include a contingency of +10-20% for unexpected roof or structural issues.
