Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Union City repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Union City, Tennessee, furnace repair costs typically range from $55–$150 for a diagnostic fee, plus parts and labor. With a median home built in 1971, many systems are aging and may need repairs like flame sensor or blower motor replacement. Tennessee requires a mechanical permit for furnace work, which can add to the total cost. Given that most homes use electric heating, a heat pump is often a strong fit for both heating and cooling in this mixed-humid climate. Local pricing for common repairs: flame sensor $60–$200, igniter $125–$350, blower motor $300–$1,150, control board $225–$600, heat exchanger $1,150–$2,700+. Federal 25C tax credits (30%, up to $2,000 for heat pumps) are available, and TVA EnergyRight rebates may apply if your primary heat is electric and the contractor is a Quality Contractor Network member.

Why Furnace Repair Costs Vary in Union City
Prices depend on the specific part needed (e.g., a flame sensor is more affordable than a heat exchanger), the age of your system (older units may require harder-to-find parts), and whether a mechanical permit is required. Labor rates reflect local market conditions, and after-hours or emergency calls typically cost more. Upgrading to a high-efficiency heat pump may qualify for federal tax credits, offsetting some costs.
