Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical La Puente repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
Furnace repair costs in La Puente, CA, typically range from $75 for a flame sensor replacement to $3,300+ for a heat exchanger, plus a $70–$200 diagnostic fee. With a median home age of 67 years, many systems are original or outdated, often requiring repairs that address wear from decades of use. California's Title 24 energy code mandates permits and HERS-verified duct leakage testing for most furnace changeouts, adding $200–$500 to project costs. Given La Puente's mild Mediterranean climate, heat pumps are a recommended upgrade for efficient heating and cooling, though gas furnaces remain common.
