The furnace symptoms we hear most
- The heat blows cold air Failed ignition, no flame, or blower running without a burner cycle
- It starts, runs a minute, then shuts off Dirty flame sensor or a safety limit tripping on restricted airflow
- I hear clicking but nothing lights Cracked hot surface ignitor, bad gas valve or control board fault
- There is a burning smell when the heat comes on Dust on the heat exchanger, or a clogged filter and overheating blower
- Some rooms stay cold no matter what Duct leakage, closed or blocked vents, or a weak blower motor

Safe things to check first
Worth a look before you call — sometimes it saves you the visit.
- 1Check the thermostat: fresh batteries, set to heat, and the setpoint a few degrees above room temperature.
- 2Look at the breaker panel for a tripped breaker on the furnace or air handler circuit and reset it once.
- 3Pull the filter and hold it to a light. If you cannot see through it, change it before anything else.
- 4Walk the house and confirm supply and return vents are open and not blocked by furniture or rugs.

My furnace will not turn on at all. What now?
Start with the thermostat batteries and settings, then check for a tripped breaker and a clogged filter. If those look fine, the trouble is usually the ignitor, a safety switch or the control board, and that needs a technician on site.
Why does my furnace keep shutting off after a few minutes?
That short cycling pattern usually points to a dirty flame sensor or a limit switch tripping because airflow is restricted. Change the filter and open your vents. If it repeats, call us so we can watch a full heating cycle and test the sensor.
I smell gas near the furnace. What should I do?
Leave the building right away, take everyone with you, and do not flip switches on your way out. From outside, call 911 or your gas utility. Once they have cleared the home, call us and we will inspect the furnace and gas connections.
Do you repair electric furnaces too?
Yes. Electric furnace repair covers failed heat strips, sequencers, contactors, blower motors and high limit switches. The symptoms look similar to a gas unit, but the parts and the testing are different, so tell us which type you have when you call.
Is it worth repairing an older furnace?
Often yes, especially if the failure is one part like an ignitor, capacitor or blower motor. We tell you what failed, whether it is likely to be the first of several failures, and what the age and condition of the unit mean for you.
How long does a furnace repair visit take?
Many repairs are done in one visit once we confirm the fault and have the part on the truck. Ignitors, flame sensors and capacitors are common enough that we stock them. Blower motors and control boards can mean a return trip for ordering.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptoms
You describe what changed. No cold air, a breaker that keeps tripping, water near the air handler, a smell, a noise. That gives us a head start on parts before we ever leave the shop.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, the electrical side, airflow through the filter and coil, refrigerant behavior and the outdoor unit. We look at the whole system, because a frozen coil usually points somewhere else.
- Step 3
You decide the repair
We explain what failed, what it takes to fix it, and how long the rest of the system is likely to hold up. You pick the repair. We do not start work you did not approve.

Why homeowners call us
- Rural routes are normal for usWe drive long stretches between calls and we plan for it. Trucks carry the common heat pump and air conditioner repair parts so a diagnosis does not turn into a second trip on a hot afternoon.
- Heat pumps and sandy soilMost homes we visit run a heat pump, and sand, lawn clippings and pollen pack the outdoor coil fast. We clear it, check the defrost side in winter, and show you what we found before we close it up.
- Well water housesHomes on well water bring their own quirks, from pump-driven electrical noise to hard water on drain lines and condensate pans. We know where those systems clog and where the slow leaks hide.
- Heating repair tooCold snaps in this region are short and hard. We do heating repair and heater repair on heat pumps, strip heat and furnaces, so one crew handles your system in July and again in January.

- Straight answersIf a system is not worth repairing, we say so, often right on the phone.
