Common Furnace Problems and Where They Land in the Range
Furnace problems can show warning signs before the system stops heating, and catching them early usually keeps the repair toward the lower end of the typical $200 to $900 range. Here is what common symptoms tend to mean.
No Heat at All
Common causes include a failed igniter or flame sensor, both wear items on gas furnaces. Repairs like these usually sit toward the lower end of the range, and many can be completed on the first visit when the part is available.
Running but Blowing Cold Air
Possible causes include a pressure switch, limit switch or flame sensor issue keeping the burners from staying lit. Once diagnosed, this is typically a lower-to-mid-range repair.
Short-Cycling On and Off
Can be as simple as a clogged filter, or a failing flame sensor or high-limit switch. Worth addressing early, because prolonged short-cycling adds wear to the whole system.
Loud Rumbling or Grinding
Usually points to the blower motor or its bearings. Motor work generally sits toward the upper end of the typical repair range.
Furnace Leaking Water
On high-efficiency furnaces this is often a condensate drain blockage, one of the simpler fixes. On older units it can signal a cracked heat exchanger, which usually starts a repair-versus-replace conversation.
Carbon Monoxide Detector Triggered
Treat this as urgent. Leave the building and get help first, using the gas safety steps below. A confirmed cracked heat exchanger is a serious safety issue: keep the furnace off until a qualified technician has assessed the repair and replacement options.
Gas safety: If you smell gas or your carbon monoxide detector goes off, leave the building first, then call 911 or the FortisBC Emergency Line at 1-800-663-9911 (24 hours). Do not operate the furnace, light any flames or use electrical switches inside until the system has been checked.
What Moves a Furnace Repair Quote Up or Down
Within the typical $200 to $900 range, a few factors decide where your repair lands. None of them changes how you are quoted: repair pricing is itemized and provided in writing after diagnosis, and approved work is billed at the quoted price.
Which Part Failed
The main driver. Wear items like igniters and flame sensors sit at the lower end, while blower motors, control boards and other major components sit at the upper end.
Parts Availability
Our trucks are stocked with common parts, and many common repairs can be completed on the first visit when the part is available. Parts for older or less common models may need to be ordered, and we confirm timing during the diagnostic.
Scheduled vs After-Hours
Emergency dispatch is available 24/7. Any applicable after-hours premium is quoted before work begins, so if the issue is safe to wait until standard hours, that is worth knowing.
Access and Setup
Tight mechanical rooms, attic or crawlspace installations, and older venting can add labour time. Anything that affects the price is in the written quote before you approve.
Manufacturer Warranty Status
Parts on newer furnaces may still be covered by the manufacturer. Bring your installation paperwork if you have it, and we check coverage as part of the diagnostic.
Repair vs Replace Threshold
When a major repair approaches the cost of replacement, the smarter money may be a new system. The 50 percent rule below is the guide we walk through with you.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Furnace?
A widely used guide is the 50 percent rule: if a major repair quote is more than half the cost of a new installation and the furnace is well into its service life, replacement often delivers better long-term value.
| Situation | Usual Direction |
|---|---|
| Newer furnace, minor repair | Repair |
| Mid-life furnace, mid-range repair | Repair, plus annual maintenance going forward |
| Furnace well into its service life, major repair needed | Replacement conversation |
| Repair quote more than half of replacement cost | Replacement usually wins |
| Repeated repairs over recent heating seasons | Replacement conversation |
If replacement is the better option, a new furnace installation in Vancouver typically costs $3,500 to $7,500 with permits included, and qualifying new installations include a 10-year parts and labour warranty, with terms provided in writing with your installation quote. Brands we install include Trane, Continental, York, Ducane, Lennox and Bosch. Some homeowners also consider a heat pump at replacement time, which adds summer cooling: ductless single-zone systems typically run $3,000 to $5,500 and central or multi-zone systems $6,000 to $14,000 before any rebates. Heat pump and AC work is performed by Red Seal certified HVAC technicians.
As of 2026, rebates for qualifying high-efficiency upgrades, including heat pumps, are available through provincial and utility programs, with income-qualified support through the CleanBC Energy Savings Program and offers listed at our BC rebates page and betterhomesbc.ca. FortisBC’s current residential furnace rebates are primarily tied to converting a home heated with oil or propane to natural gas, with pre-qualification required before installation; a general rebate for replacing an existing gas furnace with another gas furnace is not listed as of our last check. Amounts, deadlines and eligibility change by program cycle, and most programs require an eligible registered contractor. The federal Greener Homes Loan closed in October 2025 and is no longer accepting applications. As a FortisBC Trade Ally Network member, Vanheat Services guides you through the applications and helps you confirm eligibility with the program before you commit. Check fortisbc.com for current offers.
