Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Riverton repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Riverton, Utah, furnace repair costs vary by the part and labor involved. 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. With a median home age of 26 years, many furnaces are due for repairs. Utah requires a mechanical permit for furnace work, and local codes apply. Riverton's cold-dry high-desert climate means heating loads are significant, so proper sizing is critical. Most homes use gas furnaces, and a gas furnace with a high-efficiency AC is a recommended system choice.
