Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Annandale repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
Furnace repair costs in Annandale, Virginia, typically range from $80 for a flame sensor replacement to over $3,500 for a heat exchanger, plus a $75–$200 diagnostic fee. With a median home age of 58 years, many homes have older furnaces that may need more frequent repairs. Virginia's Uniform Statewide Building Code requires mechanical permits and inspections for furnace replacements, and Manual J/S load calculations are recommended for proper sizing. Given the mixed-humid climate, a heat pump is a strong fit for both heating and cooling needs, and the federal 25C tax credit can offset costs for qualifying high-efficiency systems.
