Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Gardner repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Gardner, Kansas, furnace repair costs typically range from $75 for a simple flame sensor replacement to over $3,200 for a heat exchanger. The city's median home was built in 2001, meaning many furnaces are now 20+ years old and may need repairs. Local labor rates and the need for a mechanical permit (required by city code) influence pricing. Gardner's mixed-humid/cold climate (IECC zones 4A-5A) means gas heating is common, and a gas furnace with AC is the recommended system. Diagnostic fees run $70–$175, and repairs like igniter or blower motor replacement add to the total.
