Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical West New York repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In West New York, NJ, furnace repair costs reflect the area's older housing stock—median home built 1962—and strict local codes under the NJ Uniform Construction Code. Typical repairs range from $80–$250 for a flame sensor to $1,500–$3,500+ for a heat exchanger, plus a $75–$200 diagnostic fee. With cold winters and mostly gas heating, prompt repairs are essential. A mechanical permit (and often electrical) is required even for like-for-like replacements, adding $50–$150 to the job. Most homes use a gas furnace with central AC, and the federal 25C tax credit (up to $600 for high-efficiency AC) may offset some costs.
