Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Wabash repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Wabash, Indiana, furnace repair costs typically range from $60 for a diagnostic fee to over $2,700 for a heat exchanger replacement. With a median home age of 71 years and cold winters, many homes rely on gas furnaces that require regular maintenance. Indiana code requires a mechanical permit for furnace work, and like-for-like gas furnace replacements must bring flue and venting up to current Mechanical Code. For most Wabash homes, a gas furnace paired with a central AC is the recommended system, and the federal 25C tax credit may apply to qualifying high-efficiency units.

What Wabash code requires
Installing or replacing an HVAC system in Wabash follows Indiana rules under the state mechanical code. Here’s what applies statewide:
- PermitRequired
Mechanical permit pulled by your licensed HVAC contractor; covers equipment, refrigerant, and the electrical disconnect.
- 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—
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.
