No Heat & Furnace Repair

Warning signs

• The furnace runs but blows cold air
• The system won't turn on at all
• It short-cycles—starts and stops every few minutes
• Unusual banging, squealing or a burning smell

What to do right now

1. Check that the thermostat is set to HEAT and has working batteries
2. Check the breaker and the furnace's power switch (it looks like a light switch near the unit)
3. Replace a clogged air filter
4. If you smell gas, leave and call your gas utility or 911 from outside
5. Use space heaters only as directed—never a stove or oven to heat the home

What the HVAC technician will do

A technician will check the ignitor, flame sensor, gas valve, blower, limit switches and control board, and test for safe venting before restarting the system.

What affects the cost

Small parts like a flame sensor or ignitor cost far less than a blower motor, control board or heat exchanger. After-hours rates and part availability drive the total. Pricing is set by the independent provider—ask for the trip charge and an estimate before work begins.
