It depends on the size of your home and the efficiency of the system, so a new furnace usually runs a few thousand dollars. Steve quotes it himself, in plain English, with no call-center markup. Call (618) 541-2415 for a real number for your home.
Steve will tell you straight. A common rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than about half of a replacement and the unit is over ten years old, replacing usually makes more sense. He explains the trade-off before you decide, and he will not push you toward the most expensive option.
