What Factors Affect the Cost of Furnace Repair?

We base the cost of your furnace repair on factors such as:

Replacement parts: Some parts necessary for a furnace repair can be difficult to come by, especially if you have an older model. Other parts may just be more expensive.
Furnace access: Some furnaces can be placed in areas that are harder to reach. Repairs in hard-to-reach areas tend to cost more than when the furnace is readily available due to the labor.
Warranty status: If a furnace needs repairs while it's still covered under a parts or labor warranty, your cost could be significantly reduced.

Repair vs. Replace

Is it time for a new furnace?

A furnace eventually becomes more expensive to maintain than it does to replace.

You should consider replacing if:

Your furnace is 10+ years old. Once a unit reaches this age, the cost of maintaining it can skyrocket.
Your parts and labor warranties have expired. That means a homeowner is paying the full cost of repairs.
Your heating bill goes up every year. Over time, an older furnace can add hundreds of dollars a year to utility costs.

Common Repairs

Common Furnace Repairs

Furnaces can fail for several reasons. Most commonly, we're called out for:

Clogged air filters and airflow issues. A clogged or dirty air filter restricts airflow to and from your furnace. It may need to work harder to produce as much heat, or to push the heat through your home effectively.
Pilot light or ignition repair. The ignition or pilot light allows your furnace to heat. These parts can become dirty or damaged with use, requiring a cleaning or replacement to restore functionality.
Thermostat issues. If a simple reset or battery replacement doesn't fix your thermostat, it could require a recalibration or replacement.
Electrical issues. Blown fuses or tripped breakers could prevent your furnace from turning on. Professionals isolate the issue and repair common causes, such as faulty wiring, transformers, or capacitors.
Blower motor failure. If you have little or no airflow when the furnace is on, the blower motor is the most common culprit. This often requires cleaning or lubrication, but in some cases, a total replacement may be required.
Limit switch issues. The limit switch keeps your furnace from overheating. It can get too hot if airflow is restricted, causing the furnace to turn off prematurely. However, if the issue is with the limit switch itself, it usually requires a replacement.
Cracked heat exchangers. A cracked heat exchanger is a serious emergency that can allow carbon monoxide to leak into your home. These typically must be replaced. Depending on the age and overall condition of your furnace, it could be more worthwhile to replace the entire system rather than just the component.

FAQs

Furnace Repair Frequently Asked Questions

It depends. If you have a simple thermostat issue, it's definitely cheaper to replace the thermostat rather than invest in a brand-new furnace. The only way to know for sure is to have a trained HVAC tech diagnose the issue and provide a quote for repairs.

Generally, we recommend a replacement rather than a repair when you have an older system approaching the end of its usable life that requires significant repairs. If the cost of repairs exceeds half the cost of a replacement, we'll likely recommend the upgrade.

On average, furnaces last between 15 and 20 years. However, you can often get extra years out of your system by investing in routine maintenance and prompt repairs when something breaks down. These steps help your furnace run more efficiently over time, reducing wear and tear on your system.

Most homeowners insurance policies only cover furnace repairs or replacements in very specific circumstances. Your furnace must have been damaged in a covered peril, which depends on your policy. For example, if you have fire coverage and your furnace was damaged in a house fire, your policy may cover it, but if it simply broke down over time for no discernible reason, you likely have to pay out of your own pocket.

The best way to know whether your furnace repairs will be covered by your homeowners insurance is to contact your insurance agent.

The most expensive part to fix on a furnace is typically the heat exchanger. Motor replacements and circuit board replacements also tend to be more expensive than other repairs. All of these require significant labor to troubleshoot and repair, and fixing them promptly is critical due to safety concerns. A faulty heat exchanger, for example, poses a risk of carbon monoxide accumulation.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Tips

Before you call in the professionals, consider troubleshooting your system to:

Confirm your thermostat is set correctly. Check the batteries to confirm they haven't died and that your thermostat is receiving power. Ensure your thermostat is set to heat instead of "fan" or "auto." Make sure you also have your thermostat set higher than the ambient temperature in your home.
Check power and reset your breakers. Confirm your furnace's power switch is set to on. If it is, check for a tripped circuit. Reset the breaker.
Check and change filters. Clogged or dirty air filters prevent airflow, resulting in system overheating and a lack of heating in your home. Check your filter and replace it if it looks dirty or if it's been longer than your system's manual recommends between changes.
Check your vents. Confirm all vent registers are open and unobstructed. Confirm the furnace's fresh air intake and exhaust vents are also unblocked.
Inspect the pilot light or igniter. If your system has a pilot light, check that it's burning blue. Any other color typically indicates incomplete combustion and requires professional attention. If your furnace uses an igniter, confirm that it's glowing.
