What factors affect the cost of a furnace repair?
- Replacement parts: If your furnace isn't turning on or won't properly heat your home, any number of parts could be the culprit. And because parts vary by cost, the cost of the repair ultimately comes down to which part needs to be replaced. At Golden Rule, we help lower costs by eliminating our evaluation fees when you repair with us. Other options include financing a repair or finding a temporary fix to get you through as long as possible.
- Warranty status: If your furnace is still under a part warranty, a labor warranty, or both, it can save you a lot of money on the repair. In some cases, you won't pay anything at all! Golden Rule is a big fan of warranty protections, which is why we offer a 1-year labor warranty on all furnace repairs.
- Contractor experience: Experienced contractors add more value to your repair by way of better customer protections (licensed and insured techs, warranties, guarantees, etc), higher quality service, and faster response times. Golden Rule provides all of the above while still keeping our pricing fair and honest for our customers.

Customer Review
The furnace is working better than before!
I had Golden Rule come look at the furnace as it would not stay lit. I knew it was the flame sensor that just needed work, and our tech replaced it. After it was working again, and he was about to leave, he noticed a smell. Instead of leaving, he went to investigate. He called in some help to figure out why the furnace was overheating and smelling like gas. Turned out some hidden part was super dusty and is almost impossible to see without taking the whole thing apart. He was able to disassemble the furnace to clean out the nastiness and now the furnace is working better than before! Very happy he decided to investigate even though the main problem was fixed. —Stacy S.
