HK42FZ018 Furnace Control Board: $108.56 vs $109.27 Listing - Which Should You Choose?

Two HK42FZ018 furnace control board listings carry the same Carrier Bryant Payne replacement specs but differ by about 71 cents. Here's how to pick.

Last updated Aug 12, 2026

When your furnace stops heating and the repair conversation turns to the control board, the HK42FZ018 is the replacement part that often comes up. That part is made for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne systems using the CEPL130590 board. In this head-to-head, two listings carry that exact part name but show different prices: one at USD 108.56 and the other at USD 109.27. Both list the same white plastic board, the same new condition, the same included electronic component, and the same model number. The buyer decision is not about the part; it is about which listing makes more sense for the same component.

Quick verdict

For most shoppers, the $108.56 listing is the cleaner pick. It matches every visible specification of the $109.27 listing while carrying the lower of the two listed prices. The difference between the two prices is about 71 cents, and that gap does not buy any additional feature on the higher-priced listing: both are new, both are white plastic, both include an electronic component, and both are marked Not Smart Home Compatible. If you just need the board, choose the lower-priced listing.

Where each product wins

HK42FZ018 at $108.56

This option wins for shoppers who want the same HK42FZ018 board for the lower listed price. With all other visible specifications matching the higher-priced listing, the price gap is the only difference that works in its favor.

HK42FZ018 at $109.27

This option does not win on any listed specification. It offers the same model, part number, material, condition, included component, and smart home status. No listed specification gives it an advantage over the lower-priced listing.

Product notes

HK42FZ018 at $108.56

This listing matches the exact HK42FZ018 model and part number you need for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne CEPL130590 furnace systems. It is also the one with the lower listed price, so if you are ready to order, this is the straightforward pick. The board is in new condition, white, plastic, and the listing includes an electronic component. The main limitation to keep in mind is that it is not a smart home compatible component, so it will not connect to a smart home ecosystem the way some other electronics might. If your furnace is a basic replacement scenario, this lower-priced listing gives you the same part without a visible feature tradeoff.

HK42FZ018 at $109.27

This is the higher-priced listing for the same HK42FZ018 board. It still carries the correct model and part number, new condition, white plastic body, and the electronic component included, so it will work if this is the listing you happen to be starting from. The concrete limitation is that the extra cents in the price point to no extra listed feature: the visible points match the lower-priced listing exactly. If the difference matters to you, the higher-priced listing is harder to justify. If the difference does not matter, the two appear identical based on the visible details.

Final choice by use case

Choose the $108.56 listing if you want the same part at the lower listed price. Choose the $109.27 listing only if you have a reason outside the description; the product details alone do not create one. If you were hoping for smart home control, both listings are marked Not Smart Home Compatible, so look for a different kind of component. For a replacement furnace control board, the lower-priced listing is the sensible default.
