Furnaces, gas or electric
Heating and Furnace Repair in Brookhaven, GA
Steady heat back in every room, with each safety and component tested so the fix lasts through the next cold snap.
A Furnace That Cannot Hold the House
Our winters stay gentle for long stretches, which is exactly why a furnace failure catches people off guard. The equipment rests through spring, summer and fall, then the first bitter cold snap shows up and the heat refuses to start, pushes chilly air or quits after a few minutes. Our furnace repair work is methodical. The technician watches the startup sequence, then tests each step in order: the thermostat call, the inducer motor, the pressure switch, the igniter, the gas valve, the flame sensor, the limit switch and the blower. A furnace is designed to shut itself off when any one of those checks fails, so finding which one tripped is the whole job. Common causes include a dirty flame sensor, a cracked igniter, a weak inducer motor, a clogged filter that trips the high limit or a blower that has lost its capacitor. Electric furnaces get the same attention to heating elements, sequencers and breakers. Safety comes first: notice a gas odor and everyone should get outside, then contact the gas utility or 911 ahead of us. Once the area is safe, we can find and repair the fault.
Furnace Problems We Repair
Nearly every no-heat visit traces back to a part on this list. Each one is tested rather than replaced on a hunch.
Will not light
Igniters, gas valves and pressure switches checked in the order the furnace uses them.
Blowing cold air
Often a flame sensor that cannot prove the flame, or a limit switch that keeps tripping.
Short cycling
Restricted airflow, an oversized furnace or a failing sensor. We find which.
Inducer motor trouble
Noisy or slow inducers keep the furnace from starting safely. Tested and replaced when needed.
Blower problems
Motors, capacitors and belts that stop heated air from getting to the registers.
Electric furnace faults
Heating elements, sequencers and breakers on electric units and air handlers.
Filter and airflow
A clogged filter can overheat the furnace. We check it on every visit.
Gas smell
Get everyone outside and phone the gas utility or 911 before anything else. Repairs come after it is safe.
How a Furnace Repair Visit Works
Describe the symptoms
Tell us whether it clicks, lights and goes out, blows cold or does nothing at all. That narrows the search.
Walk the startup sequence
Each component is tested in the order the furnace calls on it, and the failed step is shown to you with the price to repair it.
Repair and run a full cycle
After the repair, the furnace runs through complete heating cycles while temperatures and safeties are checked.
