Your furnace needs to run at an optimal level for your home to stay warm on a cold day. When your system malfunctions or stops working altogether, your next move should be to call in the professionals. Let our heating specialists find out what the problem is and repair it quickly. Furnace repair requires specialized training, so leave diagnosis of the gas furnace, heat exchanger, and blower motor to a qualified technician.

It isn't always easy to know if your furnace needs a professional repair. Below are signs it's time to call the experts:

Furnace doesn’t turn on
Inconsistent heating
Increase in energy bills
Strange noises
Strange odors
Furnace won't light
Pooling water around furnace
Rapid cycling
Furnace won’t turn off

If you notice any of the above, simply give us a call, and we’ll be on our way to fix it for you. If you want to avoid a complete breakdown, the sooner you call us, the better.

New Furnace Installation

Like any appliance or system in your home, your furnace will eventually reach the end of its lifespan. If you are shelling out money for more frequent repairs and your unit is older than ten years, it might be time to start considering a replacement for better long-term performance. We install oil, gas furnace, and electric furnaces, and a qualified installer will ensure correct sizing and calibration so we find the right fit for your needs. Call today for a free estimate on our installation services.

When should you replace your furnace?

Your service technician will see specific problems indicating your furnace is worn out. Some of these problems are:

Frequent pilot light outages
Delayed ignition
Yellow flame or wavering flame
Excess soot or corrosion
Too much or not enough heat
An odor of sulfur or burnt eggs

Our technician will measure your home and calculate the actual heating load. This calculation determines the proper size of equipment needed. With a new system, homeowners often notice improved efficiency and lower energy costs, along with more consistent comfort. A furnace's annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating tells you how much fuel converts to heat versus what's lost through exhaust gases and venting.

Single-stage furnaces run at full speed only; two-stage models run at full or reduced speed; modulating systems adjust heat output based on demand. In a natural gas furnace, gas mixes with air for combustion. Oil furnaces atomize fuel to create heat, and electric furnaces use heated coils to warm forced air for distribution through your air ducts. Proper installation — correct sizing, sealed ductwork, and sound electrical wiring — extends the lifespan of your furnace and supports consistent comfort. Venting upgrades can also influence total replacement costs.

Well-maintained gas furnaces typically last 15 to 20 years. Call today for a free estimate.
