Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Germantown repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Germantown, TN, furnace repair costs vary by the part and labor. Typical prices include $80–$250 for a flame sensor, $150–$450 for an igniter, $400–$1,500 for a blower motor, $300–$800 for a control board, and $1,500–$3,500+ for a heat exchanger, plus a $75–$200 diagnostic fee. Most homes were built around 1983, so older systems may need more frequent repairs. Tennessee requires a mechanical permit for furnace work, and load calculations are recommended for proper sizing. Given the mixed-humid climate and mostly electric heating, a heat pump is a strong fit for replacement, with federal 25C tax credits available (30% up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps). TVA EnergyRight rebates apply if your primary heat is electric and the contractor is a Quality Contractor Network member.

Contractor certification (e.g., TVA Quality Contractor Network) can affect pricing, and federal tax credits may offset costs for qualifying high-efficiency replacements.
