Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Kendall repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Kendall, Florida, furnace repair costs are influenced by the area's hot-humid climate and older homes (median built 1978). Most homes use heat pumps for heating, so furnace repair typically involves heat pump components like the blower motor, control board, or refrigerant system. Local pricing for common repairs ranges from $85–$275 for a flame sensor to $1,600–$3,700+ for a heat exchanger, plus a diagnostic fee of $80–$200. Florida Building Code requires permits for most furnace repairs, and outdoor units must have hurricane tie-downs. Given the climate, a heat pump is the recommended system, and the federal 25C tax credit (30%, up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps) may apply.

With a long, hard cooling season here, stepping up the SEER2 tier pays back through lower summer bills. A pro can confirm the right size and system for your home with a load calculation.
