Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Tullahoma repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Tullahoma, Tennessee, furnace repair costs vary based on the age of the home and the specific issue. With a median home built in 1979, many furnaces are older and may require more frequent repairs. Typical diagnostic fees range from $60 to $150, and common repairs like flame sensor replacement cost $65–$200, while a blower motor can run $325–$1,200.
