Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair all types of furnace issues, including:
Ignition or Pilot Problems
Issues with the ignition system or pilot light can prevent your furnace from producing heat. This could be due to a faulty igniter, flame sensor, or gas supply problems.
Our Solution:
Our technicians can quickly diagnose and repair ignition issues, replace faulty components, and ensure your furnace lights properly every time.
Airflow Problems
Restricted airflow can cause your furnace to overheat, shut down unexpectedly, or distribute heat unevenly throughout your home.
Our Solution:
We'll clean or replace clogged filters, remove blockages from vents and ductwork, and repair or replace malfunctioning blower components.
Thermostat Malfunctions
An improperly functioning thermostat can cause your furnace to run inefficiently, cycle too frequently, or fail to maintain comfortable temperatures.
Our Solution:
Our team can repair or recalibrate your existing thermostat or recommend an upgrade to a programmable or smart thermostat for improved comfort and efficiency.
Unusual Noises
Banging, rattling, squealing, or grinding noises often indicate mechanical problems that require immediate attention to prevent further damage.
Our Solution:
We'll identify the source of the noise and repair or replace worn bearings, loose components, or damaged parts before they cause a complete breakdown.
Frequent Cycling
A furnace that turns on and off too frequently wastes energy and puts excessive wear on system components.
Our Solution:
Our technicians will diagnose the cause of frequent cycling, which may include thermostat issues, improper airflow, or an oversized furnace, and implement the appropriate solution.
No Heat Production
When your furnace runs but doesn't produce heat, it could be due to fuel supply issues, ignition problems, or a faulty heat exchanger.
Our Solution:
We'll conduct a thorough diagnostic to identify the exact cause and perform the necessary repairs to restore heat to your home quickly.

Professional Repair vs. DIY: Why Choose the Experts
While DIY approaches might seem cost-effective initially, professional furnace repair offers significant advantages for safety, effectiveness, and long-term savings.
Safety First
Furnaces involve gas, electricity, and complex components that can be dangerous if handled incorrectly. Our technicians are trained to work safely with these systems.
Accurate Diagnosis
Our experienced technicians can quickly identify the root cause of problems, avoiding trial-and-error approaches that waste time and money.
Proper Tools & Equipment
We use specialized diagnostic equipment and professional-grade tools that aren't typically available to homeowners.
Quality Replacement Parts
We use manufacturer-approved replacement parts that are designed specifically for your furnace model, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
Warranty Protection
DIY repairs often void manufacturer warranties, while our professional repairs include warranties on both parts and labor.
Long-Term Solutions
We don't just fix the immediate problem—we identify underlying issues and provide solutions that prevent future breakdowns.

How do I know if my furnace needs repair or replacement?
We provide honest assessments based on several factors: the age of your furnace (typically 15-20 year lifespan), the cost of repairs versus replacement, energy efficiency concerns, frequency of breakdowns, and safety issues. If repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost, replacement is often the better investment.
What maintenance can I do myself to prevent furnace problems?
Regular filter changes (every 1-3 months), keeping return air vents clear of obstruction, ensuring the area around your furnace is clean and free of combustible materials, and scheduling professional maintenance once a year are the best ways to prevent furnace problems.
Do you offer financing for more expensive furnace repairs?

What should I do if I smell gas near my furnace?
If you smell gas, immediately evacuate your home without turning on/off any lights or electronics. Once outside, call your gas company's emergency line and then contact us for emergency service. Do not return to your home until it has been declared safe.
