Furnace repair cost by part.
Typical Hudson repair pricing including parts and labor. A diagnostic fee usually applies and is often credited toward the work.
In Hudson, Wisconsin, furnace repair costs vary based on the specific issue and local labor rates. Typical repairs include flame sensor replacement ($75–$225), igniter replacement ($150–$425), blower motor replacement ($375–$1,400), control board replacement ($275–$750), and heat exchanger replacement ($1,400–$3,200+), plus a diagnostic fee of $70–$175. Hudson homes, with a median build year of 1997, often have furnaces nearing 30 years old, making repairs more common. Wisconsin requires a mechanical permit and a licensed HVAC contractor (DSPS) for any furnace work, including like-for-like replacements. Given the cold climate, proper sizing for severe winter design temperatures is critical. Most homes use gas heating, and a gas furnace paired with a central AC is a recommended system choice.

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