What does a furnace repair cost in the Ottawa region?
Most residential furnace repairs in the Kemptville and Ottawa region land between about $100 and $900, depending on the part and the labour involved. A diagnostic service call is usually charged first, and after-hours emergency visits cost more. Small fixes like a flame sensor often run $150 to $300, while larger parts such as a blower motor cost more.
Pricing varies because no two no-heat calls are the same. A technician has to diagnose the fault before anyone can quote the fix, which is why a service-call or diagnostic fee comes first. If you are weighing a repair against a new system, our companion guide on furnace repair vs replace walks through the math.
What is the diagnostic or service-call fee?
Furnace diagnostic labour in Ontario typically runs around $80 to $150 per hour, with most service calls taking one to three hours. The first visit covers diagnosing the fault and, where possible, completing a minor repair on the spot. Our trucks are stocked for almost every no-heat scenario, so many problems are solved in a single visit.
What do common furnace parts cost?
Once the fault is diagnosed, the part drives the price. As a rough 2026 guide for Ontario homes:
- Flame sensor or igniter: roughly $150 to $300 all-in for a minor fix.
- Blower motor: roughly $400 to $650 for a standard PSC motor; a variable-speed ECM motor can run $700 to $1,200.
- Overall typical repair range: about $100 to $900 for most residential calls.
Emergency and after-hours rates run higher than a scheduled daytime visit. We service and maintain all makes and models, so the diagnosis is the same careful process whatever brand you own.
How can I lower furnace repair costs?
The cheapest repair is the one you avoid. An annual tune-up in Ontario typically costs about $100 to $200 and catches small issues before they become winter breakdowns. Our maintenance plans bundle a yearly precision tune-up with priority service and a 15% discount on repairs, which adds up quickly over a heating season.
When is repair no longer worth it?
If a repair quote climbs toward half the price of a new system, or the furnace is past 15 years old, replacement may be the smarter spend. We cover that decision in detail in the repair vs replace guide, and you can see the equipment we install with financing options on our products page.
