Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Kewanee repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Kewanee, where the median home was built in 1947, furnace repair is a frequent need during harsh Illinois winters. Local service calls typically include a diagnostic fee of $55–$150, plus parts and labor. Common repairs like flame sensor replacement run $60–$200, while a blower motor can cost $300–$1,150. Because Illinois follows the 2021 IECC, any permitted repair or replacement requires an ACCA Manual J load calculation to ensure proper sizing for cold-climate heating. Most homes use gas furnaces, and a gas furnace with a central AC is the recommended system for the area.

- 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.
