Pricing Factors
What Affects the Cost
Type of furnace and fuel
Oil furnaces and gas furnaces use different parts and require different skills. Oil burner components like nozzles, electrodes, and fuel pumps are priced differently from gas igniter assemblies and gas valves.
Age of the equipment
Furnaces installed in the 1980s and 1990s sometimes need parts that are hard to find. Sourcing older components takes more time and may cost more than parts for a current model.
Which part failed
An igniter replacement is a simpler job than replacing a draft inducer motor or a cracked heat exchanger. The part itself and the labor to reach it both affect the total.
Condition of the flue and venting
If the flue pipe is corroded, blocked, or incorrectly sized, that work gets added to the repair. A lot of older Portland homes have flue setups that have not been looked at in years.
Access to the furnace
A furnace in a tight basement corner or a crawl space takes longer to work on than one in an open utility room. Difficult access adds labor time to any repair.
