Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Aurora repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
Furnace repair in Aurora, Colorado typically costs between $95 and $4,100+, depending on the component. With a median home age of 41 years, many furnaces are nearing or past their expected lifespan. Local labor rates reflect the Denver metro area, and a diagnostic fee of $85–$225 is standard. Colorado requires a mechanical permit for most furnace repairs, which adds to the total cost.

What Aurora code requires
Installing or replacing an HVAC system in Aurora follows Colorado rules under the state mechanical code. Here’s what applies statewide:
- PermitRequired
Mechanical permit pulled by your licensed HVAC contractor; covers equipment, refrigerant, and the electrical disconnect.
- SEER2 minimum13.4 SEER2 (North)
Federal North-region minimum for new split-system AC. Higher tiers cut bills and unlock rebates.
- Load calculationRecommended
Sizing by load calc — not rule of thumb — prevents an oversized unit that short-cycles and never dehumidifies.
- RefrigerantR-454B / R-32 (R-410A phased down 2025+)
- Good to know—
Cold-climate sizing matters: at altitude with sub-zero winters, heat pumps need a low-temp (5F) rating or gas backup; high-altitude mountain towns and Xcel offer enhanced cold-climate heat pump rebates.
