Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Minnetonka repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
Furnace repair costs in Minnetonka, MN, typically range from $85–$225 for a diagnostic visit, plus parts and labor. With median home age of 47 years and cold winters, common repairs include flame sensors ($90–$275), igniters ($175–$500), and blower motors ($450–$1,650).
