How Furnace Repair Costs Are Formed

Service call fee: HVAC contractors charge a standard service call fee, which varies according to the company. A contractor may waive the fee if the repair can be completed in the same visit.

Warranties: Some furnace parts are warrantied by the manufacturer. Also, the HVAC contractor who installed your furnace may cover some of the labor costs if you have a protection plan with your HVAC contractor. You should get in touch with them to see if anything is covered under the warranty.

Furnace age and Location: If your furnace is old, or in a difficult-to-reach location, usually it’s more expensive to repair due to high part costs and labor costs.

Parts to be replaced: The cost of replacing furnace components varies depending on the type. Sensors, for example, are typically on the lower end of the price spectrum, whereas larger, more complicated parts, such as Motors, are more expensive.

5 Typical Furnace Repairs

Since we repair hundreds of furnaces in Edmonton and surrounding areas each year, we’ve noticed the following common furnace issues:

Defective Pressure switches: If you have a faulty limit switch, your furnace’s blower will run continuously, reducing the blower’s lifespan. This issue can be quickly resolved by an HVAC technician.

Faulty Ignitor:  There could also be an electrical issue with the ignition system. These issues, in addition to limiting the amount of heat your furnace delivers to your home, are potentially dangerous. During your annual furnace inspection, have your HVAC technician check your ignition system.

A Faulty Thermostat: A bad thermostat can cause temperature fluctuations in your home or cause your furnace to stop working entirely. Replace the batteries in your thermostat and check your thermostat settings. If the temperature continues to fluctuate or you are still without heat, contact a heating specialist.

Dirty Flame Sensor: Heat from the burners is detected by flame sensors, which instructs the furnace to continue releasing fuel. If your flame sensors fail, your system will shut down or fuel will be burned in an unsafe manner. Because this poses a risk to your family, you should replace the flame sensors as soon as possible.

The Blower Motor: like other components in your HVAC system, can wear out over time. Overheating and excessive moisture are two causes of blower motor failure. When dust, dirt, and debris accumulate, the windings and bearings can burn out more quickly. Furnaces are typically installed in a remote location, such as the attic, basement, garage, or utility room. Blower motors that become clogged with debris or saturated with moisture can fail as a result of overworking or electrical shorts.
