Is $1,400 to replace the control board on a Lennox furnace a fair price?

Project Details

My Lennox furnace EL296UH070XV36B started malfunctioning yesterday, with the condenser running but the fan not blowing. I'm questioning the quoted price for the control board replacement, as similar boards seem to cost significantly less. I also don't have this kind of money right now due to recent unexpected medical expenses.

Quote Details

This quote is for the repair of a malfunctioning Lennox furnace, model EL296UH070XV36B, where the condenser runs but the fan does not blow. The technician diagnosed the issue as a bad control board. - Replace control board - Note: There is no way to know if the blower motor would work afterwards; if not, it would require an additional replacement for $1400.

Thank you for your feedback!

Replace a furnace control board

This quote is for the replacement of the furnace control board in a Goodman packaged unit. The HVAC company diagnosed the unit due to the A/C not blowing cold air. During the visit, a pressure sensor (or switches for cooling) was bypassed to get the A/C to work, which the technician did not seem concerned about. The furnace control board was identified as non-functional and in need of immediate replacement.
