Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Haverhill repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Haverhill, MA, furnace repair costs reflect the area's older homes (median built 1963) and cold climate (Zone 5). Typical diagnostic fees run $80–$200, with common repairs like flame sensor replacement ($85–$275) or igniter ($150–$475). Massachusetts requires a mechanical permit for most furnace work, which adds to the total.
