Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical De Pere repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In De Pere, Wisconsin, furnace repair costs typically range from $75 for a simple flame sensor replacement to over $3,300 for a heat exchanger, plus a $70–$200 diagnostic fee. With a median home age of 42 years and cold winters, older furnaces often need repairs. Wisconsin requires a mechanical permit and a licensed DSPS contractor for any furnace work, including like-for-like replacements. Most homes use gas furnaces, and the federal 25C tax credit (30%, up to $600 for high-efficiency central AC) applies here. For severe winter design temps, proper sizing is critical.

Recommended unit for De Pere
Given Wisconsin’s cold climate and gas heating, high-seer2 ac + gas furnace is the sensible default for most De Pere 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.
