Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Caledonia repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Caledonia, Wisconsin, furnace repair costs typically range from $80 for a simple flame sensor replacement to over $3,500 for a heat exchanger. With a median home age of 48 years and cold winters, many homes need repairs on aging components like blower motors and control boards. Wisconsin requires a mechanical permit and a licensed DSPS contractor for most furnace work, even like-for-like replacements, which adds to the cost. Most homes use gas furnaces, and the federal 25C tax credit can offset high-efficiency upgrades. For a typical repair, expect a $75–$200 diagnostic fee plus parts and labor.

Recommended unit for Caledonia
Given Wisconsin’s cold climate and gas heating, high-seer2 ac + gas furnace is the sensible default for most Caledonia homes. The cooling season is short, so the budget is better spent on heating efficiency than on ultra-high SEER2. A pro can confirm the right size and system for your home with a load calculation.
