Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Hendersonville repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
Furnace repair in Hendersonville, TN, typically costs between $85 and $3,800 depending on the part and labor. With a median home age of 37 years, many furnaces are nearing or past their expected lifespan.

Furnace Repair in Hendersonville, explained.
Why Furnace Repair Costs Vary in Hendersonville
Prices differ based on the specific component needing repair—flame sensors ($85–$275) are more affordable than blower motors ($425–$1,600) or heat exchangers ($1,600–$3,800+). Labor rates in Hendersonville reflect the local cost of living (median income $86,954). Permit fees and the need for load calculations add to the total. Seasonal demand and the complexity of accessing older units (median build 1989) also affect pricing.
Common Furnace Issues in Hendersonville
Flame Sensor Failure
A dirty or faulty flame sensor is a frequent cause of short cycling in older furnaces, common in Hendersonville's 37-year-old homes.
Igniter Problems
Igniters wear out over time, especially in systems that cycle frequently during Tennessee's mixed-humid winters.
Blower Motor Malfunction
Blower motors often fail due to dust buildup or age, leading to reduced airflow and uneven heating.
What to Expect During a Furnace Repair in Hendersonville
A technician will first diagnose the issue, charging a diagnostic fee of $80–$225. They will check the permit requirements and may recommend a load calculation for older homes. Repairs typically take 1–3 hours. For major components like heat exchangers, a permit is required. If your home uses electric heating, ask about TVA EnergyRight rebates for qualifying heat pump upgrades.
