Common Furnace Repairs in Hammond
Flame Sensor Failure
A dirty or faulty flame sensor is a frequent issue in older furnaces, causing the system to shut off after ignition. Cleaning or replacing it costs $75–$225.
Igniter Problems
A broken igniter prevents the furnace from lighting. Replacement runs $150–$425, common in units over 10 years old.
Blower Motor Malfunction
A failing blower motor can reduce airflow or stop heating entirely. Repair costs $375–$1,400, often needed in homes with aging ductwork.
What to Expect During a Furnace Repair
A technician will first diagnose the issue for a $70–$175 fee. They will check the furnace, thermostat, and ductwork, and may need to pull a mechanical permit from the city. Repairs typically take 1–3 hours. For gas furnaces, the technician must verify flue and venting meet current Indiana Mechanical Code. After repair, they will test the system and ensure safe operation.
