Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Granite City repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Granite City, Illinois, furnace repair costs reflect the age of the local housing stock — the median home was built in 1958, so many systems are older and may need more frequent repairs. Typical service calls run $65–$175 for diagnostics, with common repairs like flame sensor replacement costing $70–$225 and igniter replacement $125–$400. Because Illinois follows the 2021 IECC, any permitted repair or replacement requiring a mechanical permit must include a Manual J load calculation to ensure proper sizing, especially for cold-climate winter heating.

- SEER2 minimum13.4 SEER2 (North)
Federal North-region minimum for new split-system AC. Higher tiers cut bills and unlock rebates.
- Load calculationRequired (Manual J)
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—
Illinois follows the 2021 IECC, which requires an ACCA Manual J load calculation for HVAC sizing on permitted installs; cold-climate winter sizing matters in the north.
