Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair

No heat, or weak heat

The furnace runs but the house stays cold — often an ignition, burner, or blower problem.

Short cycling

Turning on and off every few minutes without finishing a heating cycle wears the system out fast.

Strange noises

Banging, screeching, or rumbling means mechanical trouble that only gets more expensive with time.

Yellow burner flame

A healthy flame burns blue. Yellow can indicate incomplete combustion — worth a call right away.

Rising gas bills

A struggling furnace burns more fuel to produce less heat.

If your carbon monoxide detector goes off, leave the house first — and if anyone feels ill, call 911. Then call us. A cracked heat exchanger is a serious safety issue, and we treat those calls as the emergencies they are.

FAQ

Common Furnace Repair Questions

How much does furnace repair cost?

It depends entirely on the problem — an igniter is a modest fix, a blower motor is more, a heat exchanger is a repair-vs-replace conversation. Either way, you get the full price before work begins.

Should I repair or replace my furnace?

If your furnace is 15+ years old and the repair is significant, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Under 10 years old, repair almost always wins. In between, we’ll walk you through the math.

My furnace is running but blowing cold air — why?

Common culprits: a failed igniter, a limit switch issue, a clogged filter causing overheating, or a thermostat problem. Some of these are quick fixes; all of them are diagnosable in one visit.

Is a cracked heat exchanger really dangerous?

Yes. It can leak carbon monoxide into your home’s air. It’s the one furnace problem we’ll never suggest patching — and the reason working CO detectors matter.
