Gas Furnace Repair

Is your furnace making strange noises? Not heating properly? Or worse, not turning on at all? These are signs that your gas furnace needs professional attention. Ignoring these issues can lead to decreased efficiency, higher energy bills, and potentially unsafe operating conditions.

Common Gas Furnace Problems We Fix:

•  No Heat: Often caused by issues with the thermostat, pilot light or ignitor, or gas supply.
•  Insufficient Heat: Could be related to filter problems, clogged burners, or airflow issues.
•  Strange Noises: Grinding, rattling, or banging sounds can indicate loose parts, a failing blower motor, or other mechanical problems.
•  Short Cycling: When the furnace turns on and off too frequently, often due to an overheated heat exchanger, a clogged filter, or thermostat issues.
•  Pilot Light Issues: A pilot light that won't stay lit or is a different color can indicate underlying problems.
•  Blower Motor Problems: The fan not distributing air properly could mean a failing motor or capacitor.
•  Thermostat Malfunctions: Incorrect temperature readings or failure to trigger the furnace.

Why Professional Repair is Essential:

Attempting complex gas furnace repairs yourself can be dangerous due to the risk of gas leaks or electrical hazards. Our certified technicians are trained to diagnose issues accurately and perform repairs safely and effectively. We identify the root cause of the problem, not just the symptom, ensuring a lasting solution and restoring safe operation.

Gas Furnace Installation & Replacement

Is your current gas furnace old, inefficient, or requiring frequent expensive repairs? It might be time to consider a replacement.

•  You're facing increasingly frequent or costly repairs.

•  Your home has uneven heating.
•  The furnace makes strange or loud noises consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Furnaces

How long do gas furnaces typically last?

With proper annual maintenance, a modern gas furnace can last between 15 to 20 years. Skipping maintenance can significantly reduce its lifespan.

Is it better to repair or replace my gas furnace?

This depends on several factors, including the age of your furnace, the cost of the repair, and the frequency of previous issues. If the repair cost is more than 50% of the cost of a new furnace, or if your furnace is old and frequently breaking down, replacement is often the more economical long-term solution due to improved efficiency and reliability. We can provide an expert assessment to help you decide.

What should I check if my gas furnace isn't working?

Before calling for service, check a few simple things:

1. Ensure the thermostat is set to "Heat" and the temperature is higher than the current room temperature.
2. Check that the furnace power switch (often looks like a light switch near the furnace) is "On".
3. Make sure the gas supply valve to the furnace is open.
4. Check if the air filter is clogged and replace it if necessary.

If these basic checks don't resolve the issue, it's best to call a professional for diagnosis and repair due to the complexity and safety concerns with gas furnaces.
