Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Westminster repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Westminster, CA, where the median home was built in 1970, furnace repair costs reflect the age of equipment and local code requirements. Typical diagnostic fees run $80–$200, with common repairs like flame sensor ($85–$250), igniter ($150–$475), or blower motor ($425–$1,550). California's Title 24 mandates Manual J load calculations and HERS-verified duct leakage testing for most furnace changeouts, which can add to project costs. Given the mild Mediterranean climate, many homeowners opt for heat pump repairs, which also qualify for federal 25C tax credits (30% up to $2,000).
