Quick answer
Rialto residential furnace diagnostic + repair pricing: $145 diagnostic with the parts cost rolled in once you approve work. Igniter swap $175-$235, flame sensor clean-and-test $115, draft pressure switch $195-$285, gas valve $365-$495, blower capacitor $125-$185, blower motor $425-$655. Foothill Blvd light commercial RTU heating service is its own pricing tier — typically $320-$580 for a small office or retail RTU diagnostic + most repairs, scheduled outside business hours so we are not interrupting tenant operations.
Why this matters in Rialto
Furnace Repair in Rialto.
Two things make Rialto furnace work different from the rest of the IE service area. First, the city's residential solar adoption rate from the 2018-2022 wave is among the highest in San Bernardino County — when a 1990s gas furnace fails on a solar household, the conversation almost always shifts away from "replace with a new gas furnace" toward "replace with a heat pump and run it on the panels we already have." About 40 percent of our Rialto furnace-replacement quotes since the start of 2025 have ended in heat pump installs rather than gas-furnace upgrades. We bring the heat pump pricing alongside the gas-furnace pricing on every Rialto replacement quote so the math is on the table. Second, Rialto has a meaningfully larger Foothill Boulevard commercial corridor than most IE cities its size — older retail strip mall package units, restaurant rooftops, small office buildings clustered between Riverside Avenue and Cactus Avenue. Furnace-side service on commercial RTUs (gas heating module replacement, draft inducer motor swaps, gas valve work) is a regular part of our Rialto dispatch volume, not a side service. Tenant operations typically cannot wait two days for heat in January, so we run a separate after-hours commercial dispatch line for these calls.
Local challenges
What we see on the ground.
Outdoor combustion-air intake fouling shows up more on Rialto installs than upper-IE locations because of proximity to Lytle Creek wash. Sealed-combustion 95% AFUE condensing furnaces draw outside air through PVC inlet pipes terminating outside the wall, and the airborne dust loads in north Rialto coat those intake screens faster than intakes in foothill-protected neighborhoods. Symptom is usually intermittent ignition lockout — the pressure switch can't see clean draft because the intake is half-blocked. We pull and clean the intake during diagnostic visits, and recommend bird-screen mesh upgrades for installs within a mile of the wash. South Rialto historic-corridor homes around Riverside Avenue and Casmalia Street present a different challenge: 1950s-1970s tract houses where the original furnace closet was sized for a vintage 60K BTU 80% AFUE unit, and modern condensing furnaces with side-mounted PVC vents do not physically fit without closet trim work. We measure clearances on the quote walkthrough and price the trim or relocation as a separate line item.

Very kind and proffesional company. Cody came out the first day and gave us a quote. JC scheduled us for the work right away, So we did not have to wait long. Two other companies previously had told us there was no guarantee what they could do would work or even be able to enter our attic but Cody assured us all the issues could be fixed and they would have no problem entering our attic. They arrived on time rolled out drop cloths and plastic, changed our ducts and worked on a few other things all in a day and cleaned up after. We are very pleased and greatful for all the hardwork they did. Our ac is running now better than ever. We are ready for winter and next summer. Highly recommend. Thank you Cody, Tyler, Jon, and Michael.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Rialto furnace failed and I have solar — should I just go heat pump instead of replacing the furnace?
Worth running the numbers. About 40 percent of our 2025-2026 Rialto furnace-replacement quotes have ended in heat pump installs because solar households see meaningfully better operating-cost economics on a heat pump than on a new gas furnace. We bring both quote sheets to the walkthrough so you can see the all-in math side by side, including SCE heat pump rebates and the SoCalGas furnace rebate.
My north Rialto furnace gets ignition lockouts on cold mornings even though it is only 5 years old. What is going on?
Almost certainly your sealed-combustion intake. PVC inlet pipes near Lytle Creek wash get coated by airborne dust faster than upper-IE installs — when the screen blocks half-up, the pressure switch reads insufficient draft and locks out ignition. Diagnostic clean of the intake plus a bird-screen mesh upgrade typically solves it. About $115 plus parts.
Do you handle Foothill Boulevard restaurant and retail RTU heating service?
Yes — it is a regular part of our Rialto dispatch volume. Restaurant or retail with no heat in winter cannot wait days, so we run an after-hours commercial dispatch line and schedule diagnostic visits outside business hours. Pricing on small office or retail RTU heating service typically $320-$580 for diagnostic + most repairs.
My south Rialto furnace closet is tiny — will a modern high-efficiency unit even fit?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no without trim work. Older south Rialto tract closets were sized for vintage 60K BTU 80% AFUE units; condensing furnaces with side-mount PVC venting need additional clearance for the inlet/outlet pipe routing. We measure the closet during the quote walkthrough and price closet trim or relocation as a separate line item if needed — usually $200-$650 depending on what has to move.
How fast can you get out for a furnace not working?
Same-day in most cases across the High Desert. After-hours and 24/7 emergency dispatch available. Call 760-983-2326.
How much does furnace repair cost?
Most repairs land between $150 and $650. Common parts (ignitor, sensor, capacitor) run $150-$250. Mid-tier repairs (pressure switch, inducer motor) typically $250-$450. Major work like gas valve or blower motor ranges $450-$650.
My furnace lights then shuts off. What is wrong?
Most common cause is a dirty flame sensor (10-minute fix). Other causes: failed pressure switch, blocked condensate drain, or low gas pressure. We diagnose all four in the same visit.
