Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Broadlands repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Broadlands, Virginia, furnace repair costs reflect the area's high median income ($231,854) and relatively young homes (median built 2003, about 23 years old). Typical local prices include a diagnostic fee of $70–$175, plus parts and labor: flame sensor $75–$225, igniter $150–$425, blower motor $375–$1,400, control board $275–$750, and heat exchanger $1,400–$3,300+. Virginia requires a mechanical permit for furnace repairs involving replacement of major components, and the Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) applies. Manual J/S load calculations are recommended but not strictly enforced. Given the mixed-humid climate and moderate cooling demand, many homeowners consider a heat pump for both heating and cooling, which may qualify for the federal 25C tax credit (30% up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps).
