Furnace Repair and Replacement Costs in Edmonton

It depends on the part. Typical Edmonton ranges for 2026: flame sensor clean or replace $129 to $299, hot surface igniter $225 to $450, pressure switch $275 to $550, blower capacitor $175 to $350, control board $500 to $1,200, gas valve $550 to $1,100, inducer motor $650 to $1,400, PSC blower motor $600 to $1,200, and ECM blower motor or module $900 to $2,000. Those include the part and the labour to fit it. Your price is confirmed in writing before any work starts, so you can decide whether the repair makes sense for the age of your furnace.

A regular-hours diagnostic visit in Edmonton typically runs $129 to $199, and an after-hours, weekend or holiday no-heat call $199 to $349. For that, a technician finds out why the furnace is not heating, checks the safety controls, and tells you what failed, what the repair costs and whether it is worth doing on a furnace of that age. The repair price is given in writing before any work starts. If the fix turns out to be a tripped breaker or a blocked vent, you have paid for the visit, which is why the free checks at home are worth doing first.

For a straight swap to a single-stage 95 to 96% AFUE high-efficiency furnace, installed, the typical Edmonton range is $4,800 to $7,500. Two-stage or modulating furnaces at 96 to 98% AFUE run $6,500 to $11,000. Older homes moving from chimney venting often add $400 to $1,500 for a chimney liner or re-venting the hot water tank. These are typical Edmonton ranges for 2026, before GST, and your price is confirmed in writing before any work starts. Written quotes for replacements are free. Warranty terms come from the manufacturer and the installing contractor's written quote, so read that part carefully.

Look at age, the part, and the heat exchanger. A furnace under about 15 years old with a sound heat exchanger and a failed igniter, flame sensor or pressure switch should almost always be repaired; a $300 igniter on a 12-year-old furnace is money well spent. Replacement makes sense when the heat exchanger is cracked, when the furnace is past 20 years, or when it needs its second or third major part in a couple of seasons. Furnaces typically last 15 to 20 years, less if they were oversized or never maintained. A good technician will tell you when one more repair is the better call.

Central AC installed on an existing furnace and ductwork typically runs $4,800 to $8,500 in Edmonton. It uses the furnace blower and ducts, and the outdoor condenser sits on a pad or wall bracket with clearances from windows, the property line and the gas meter. In older homes, check the return air before sizing, because many had AC added on returns too small for it. If you are replacing both furnace and AC soon, price a heat pump as well. A ductless mini-split, typically $4,000 to $7,500 for one zone, suits homes without ducts. Prices are confirmed in writing first.

Cold-climate air-source heat pumps keep producing heat well below -20°C, but their capacity and efficiency fall as it gets colder. That is why most Edmonton installs are hybrid, or dual-fuel: the heat pump carries the heating through fall, spring and milder winter days, and the gas furnace takes over in the deep cold. You also get air conditioning in summer. A ducted cold-climate heat pump paired with an existing furnace typically runs $9,000 to $18,000 in Edmonton, confirmed in writing before any work starts. Rebate and financing programs open and close, so check what is open at the time you buy.
