When the Heat Quits
When Your Furnace Stops Heating
Problems often show up on the first cold nights, when a heating system that sat all summer runs for hours. Average lows here stay below freezing December through February. If repairs keep adding up, see furnace replacement.
We test ignition, flame sensor, blower, controls and venting, then explain the solution before doing the work.
- ✓No heat, or a unit that won't start
- ✓Cold air, short cycling or uneven heat
- ✓Strange noises, burning smells or tripped breakers
What Fails
Furnace Problems We Diagnose and Fix
We test each common failure point instead of guessing.
Ignition and Flame Sensor
A worn ignitor or dirty flame sensor can keep the burners from lighting or shut them off. We clean or replace them.
Blower Motor and Capacitor
A failing motor or capacitor causes weak airflow, noise and overheating.
Electrical Controls and Wiring
Loose wiring, a failed board or a thermostat fault can stop the heating sequence.
Heat Exchanger and Venting
A crack or blocked vent is a safety issue. We'll show you what we find.
Why It Matters
What a Proper Repair Does
It fixes the cause, not just the symptom.
Heat Restored
The house warms up again and stays warm.
Safer Operation
Burners, venting and safety switches checked.
Less Wasted Fuel
Proper cycling burns less gas.
Fewer Callbacks
Testing first means fewer repeat visits.
We explain each part before we replace it.
- Ignitors and flame sensors
- Blower motors and capacitors
- Limit switches, pressure switches and control boards
On an older unit, we weigh the cost against age, condition and safety, and explain replacement and installation options if a new furnace makes more sense.
- Age and overall condition
- Cost of this repair and recent ones
- Safety findings

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common furnace problems?
Worn ignitors, dirty flame sensors, failing blower motors, clogged filters, limit switches, board faults and thermostat problems.
Why is my furnace running but not heating?
Usually the burners aren’t lighting or shut off early because of an ignition, flame-sensor or overheating problem.
Can I call after hours?
Yes, call any time. When a technician can get there depends on availability, so you get an honest answer, not a promise.
How much does furnace repair cost?
It depends on what failed. We diagnose first and give you a clear estimate before work starts, with no travel fee.
How long do furnaces last, and is an old one worth fixing?
Many have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years with annual maintenance. If one part failed and the rest is sound, a repair often makes sense. If not, we’ll say so.
How often should I schedule a tune-up?
Once a year, ideally in early fall. Furnace maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, and Comfort Club members get seasonal tune-ups.
Do you repair heat pumps and AC too?
Yes. We repair heat pumps, air conditioners and the rest of the cooling system, all makes and models, so one HVAC company handles your heating and air conditioning.
