Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Mount Dora repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
Furnace repair in Mount Dora, Florida, typically costs between $65 and $175 for a diagnostic fee, with repairs ranging from $65 for a flame sensor to over $2,900 for a heat exchanger. Because most homes use heat pumps for heating, furnace repairs often involve heat pump components.

The median home was built in 1993, so older systems may need more frequent repairs.
