Our process starts when you describe what your furnace is doing. A technician then performs a visual inspection of the furnace cabinet, checks electrical connections, tests the thermostat and control board, examines the flame sensor and igniter, and evaluates airflow through the system.
Based on the diagnosis, the technician explains the issue and recommends repair or replacement of faulty components. Common repairs include furnace igniter replacement, furnace flame sensor replacement, blower motor repair, and heat exchanger inspection. After completing repairs, we test the furnace through multiple heating cycles to verify it works properly before we leave your home.
For furnaces that will not turn on at all, our furnace not turning on repair service covers those symptoms separately, though the diagnosis often overlaps with heating issues.
Several factors affect the cost of fixing a furnace that will not heat. The specific parts needed matter most — igniters, blowers, flame sensors, and control boards all have different prices. Labor time for diagnosis and repair also factors into the total. Emergency or after-hours service typically costs more than scheduled appointments.
If your furnace is over 15 years old and the repair costs are approaching half of what a new unit would cost, replacement often makes more sense. Our technicians help you weigh repair costs against furnace replacement so you can make the best choice for your home and budget.
