Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Clarksville repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
Furnace repair costs in Clarksville, Indiana, typically range from $65 for a simple flame sensor replacement to over $2,800 for a heat exchanger swap, plus a $60–$150 diagnostic fee. With a median home age of 56 years, many furnaces in Clarksville are nearing or past their expected lifespan, leading to common issues like igniter failure or blower motor problems. Indiana requires a mechanical permit for furnace repairs, and gas furnace changeouts must bring flue and venting up to current Mechanical Code, which can add to labor costs. The mixed-humid climate with cold winters means reliable furnace operation is critical, and most homes use gas heating. For long-term efficiency, a gas furnace paired with a central AC is a recommended system choice.

- Good to know—
Indiana Residential Code (2018 IRC base) requires HVAC equipment to be sized per ACCA Manual J/S, and gas-furnace changeouts must bring flue/venting up to current Mechanical Code even on like-for-like swaps.
