Common Problems
Signs your furnace needs repair.
Most heating problems give a warning before they leave you without heat. Call if you notice any of these.
Furnace Keeps Shutting Off
A furnace that starts and then shuts down before the house warms up is often tripping a safety control. The cause needs to be found, not just reset.
Ignition Problems
Clicking without lighting, or a burner that lights and goes out, can point to the igniter, flame sensor, gas valve, or venting.
Weak Airflow
Low airflow can come from a dirty filter, blower motor problems, or restricted ductwork, and it makes the furnace work harder.
Strange Noises or Smells
Squealing, banging, or a burning smell beyond the normal first-run dust smell should be checked.
Short Cycling
Turning on and off in short bursts wastes energy and wears parts. It can come from overheating, a sensor problem, or a thermostat issue.
What to Expect
We find the cause before we replace a part.
A furnace has several safety controls that shut it down when something isn't right. Replacing parts until it runs is expensive guesswork. We test the system to find out why it stopped, then explain the repair and its price.
If the furnace is unsafe to run — for example, a venting problem or a damaged heat exchanger — we'll tell you plainly and explain your options.
- Igniter and flame sensor problems
- Blower motor and capacitor failures
- Control board and safety switch faults
- Inducer motor and pressure switch problems
- Gas valve and burner problems
- Thermostat and wiring issues
If you smell gas, leave first.
Get everyone out of the house right away. Don't flip light switches, use appliances, or light anything. Once you're outside and away from the smell, call 911 and your gas utility. Call us after the utility says it's safe.
Equipment
Furnaces we repair.
Gas furnaces
Standard and high-efficiency gas furnaces, including ignition, venting, inducer, and safety-control problems.

Heat pump systems
Heat pumps paired with a furnace or air handler. See our heat pump repair page for heat-pump-specific problems.
All brands
We repair all makes and models. Parts availability varies by brand and age, and we'll tell you if a part has to be ordered.
The Visit
What happens during a furnace repair visit.
Every visit is different, but this is the usual order we work in.
- We ask what you've noticed — when it stopped, any noises, smells, or error lights.
- We check the thermostat, power, and air filter first, because simple causes are common.
- We read the furnace's fault codes and test the ignition, flame sensor, and safety switches.
- We check the blower, inducer, and venting, and the gas supply on gas furnaces.
- We explain what failed and what the repair costs. Nothing is repaired until you approve the price.
- After the repair, we run the furnace through a heating cycle to confirm it's working.
Cost
What affects the cost of a furnace repair.
We give you the price before any work begins. These are the things that change it.
The part that failed
A flame sensor cleaning or igniter is a smaller job than a blower motor, inducer, or control board.
Brand and age
Some parts are universal; others are brand-specific or harder to get for older furnaces.
Access
Furnaces in tight closets, crawlspaces, or attics can take longer to work on.
Regular vs. after-hours
Calls outside regular hours are priced differently. We'll tell you before we come out.
A service-call charge applies to the visit and is credited toward the repair if you go ahead with it. After-hours calls are priced differently. Call 765-863-3333 for current pricing.
Repair or Replace
When repair makes sense — and when it doesn't.
Most furnace problems are repairable. We repair first when it's practical and recommend replacement only when it makes sense.
Usually worth repairing
A single failed part on a furnace that's otherwise in good shape — igniters, sensors, capacitors, switches, and many motors.
Worth comparing
A major repair on an older furnace, or a furnace that's needed several repairs in a short time. We'll quote the repair so you can compare it with a new system.
Often time to replace
A cracked heat exchanger or other safety problem that isn't practical to fix. Estimates for a new furnace are free.

Common Questions
Straightforward answers.
Have a question that isn't listed here? Call765-863-3333and we'll be glad to help.
Do you repair all furnace brands?
Yes. We repair all makes and models of gas and electric furnaces. Parts availability can vary by brand and age.
Do you offer emergency furnace repair?
Yes. Emergency service is available 24/7. Regular hours are Monday through Saturday, 7 am to 6 pm.
Can you fix it the same day?
Same-day repair is often available, but it isn't guaranteed. If a part has to be special-ordered, we'll tell you how long it should take.
Why does my furnace turn on and then shut off?
That's often a safety control doing its job — for example, a dirty flame sensor, overheating from restricted airflow, or a venting problem. We find the underlying cause instead of just resetting it.
How much does a furnace repair cost?
It depends on what failed and the part needed. A service-call charge applies to the visit and is credited toward the repair if you go ahead with it. You'll know the price before any work begins.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
That depends on the furnace's age, condition, and the cost of the repair. Most repairs make sense. If replacement is the better choice, we'll explain why and give you a free estimate.
Is your repair work warrantied?
Yes. Our labor carries a 1-year warranty, and parts carry the manufacturer's or supplier's warranty.
