The heat exchanger is often the most expensive component to fix on a furnace. Repairing or replacing a heat exchanger requires professional expertise due to the complexity of the task. The heat exchanger plays a crucial role in transferring heat to the air, and if it develops cracks or leaks, it can lead to safety concerns, such as carbon monoxide leaks. Replacement costs vary based on the furnace type, brand, and labor fees, but they typically represent a substantial portion of the overall furnace repair expenses. Regular maintenance can help prevent issues and prolong the life of the heat exchanger.

A common failure for a furnace is a malfunctioning or failed ignitor. The ignitor is responsible for initiating the furnace's heating process by igniting the burner. Over time, ignitors can wear out or become faulty, leading to issues like no heat production. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the ignitor can help prevent this common failure and ensure the efficient operation of the furnace.
