Furnace Repair — scope & pricing.
Six common variants of furnace repair we see most often in the Brazos Valley, with indicative ranges.
Flame sensor cleaning or replacement
$200 – $300
Top cause of no-heat calls. Often just cleaning, sometimes replacement.
Ignitor (hot-surface) replacement
$250 – $450
Common 5–10 year failure. Quick swap.
Thermocouple / pilot assembly
$200 – $400
Older gas furnaces. We test the thermocouple before condemning the assembly.
Control board replacement
$400 – $700
Less frequent but real failures. We verify it's the board and not a sensor first.
Blower motor & capacitor
$400 – $700
Same parts family as AC blower. Common cause of short-cycling on heating.
Gas valve replacement
$500 – $800
Safety-critical. Replaced when testing confirms a valve failure rather than a control issue.
Common reasons homeowners call us about furnace repair.
- Furnace won't ignite at all — usually ignitor or flame sensor
- Lights briefly then shuts off — flame sensor or gas pressure
- Short cycling — thermostat, sensor, or oversizing
- Cool air from the vents during heat call — blower or limit switch
- Rumbling, banging, or screeching — motor distress or delayed ignition
- Furnace runs but no warm air — heat exchanger, blower, or ductwork
Our furnace repair process.
Diagnostic visit
Most no-heat diagnostics take 15–30 minutes. We identify the failure and explain it in plain language.
Written estimate
Repair quote in writing before any parts go in. Most parts we stock on the truck.

Same-visit completion on most furnace repairs. Heat back on before we leave.
Safety check
On gas furnaces, we test for carbon monoxide and gas leaks before we close out the call. Non-negotiable.
