Furnace Problems We Repair
No heat or cold air from the registers
A furnace that will not light, or lights and drops out a few seconds later, usually has a failed hot-surface ignitor or a dirty flame sensor. We also check the gas valve, the pressure switch and the high-limit switch, which trips when the furnace overheats. We fix the part that failed and confirm the burner lights and stays lit.
Short cycling
A furnace that runs a minute or two and shuts down is usually overheating. A clogged filter or a blocked return starves the blower of air, and the limit switch cuts the burner to protect the heat exchanger. That switch is a safety doing its job, so the fix is the cause, not the switch. We also check the flame sensor and the thermostat location.
Blower that will not start or will not shut off
If the burners light but no air moves, or the blower keeps running after the burners go out, the fault is in the blower motor, its capacitor, the control board or the fan limit setting. We test each one and replace the part that failed instead of guessing.
New noises or burning smells
A bang on startup is delayed ignition, where gas builds up before it lights. Squealing or rumbling points to a worn inducer or blower bearing. A dusty smell on the first run of the season clears quickly, but a burning smell that persists means you should shut the furnace off and call.
What a Furnace Service Call Covers
We find the actual fault, explain it plainly and leave the decision with you before any repair starts. Safety checks on the heat exchanger, the venting and the gas connections are part of every visit, because a furnace that runs is not the same as a furnace that runs safely.
Gas and Electric Furnace Repair, All Major Brands
We repair gas and electric furnaces from every major brand, whoever installed them. When replacement is the better call, we install AirEase and Lennox furnaces sized for your home.
When Repair Stops Making Sense
A furnace over 15 years old that needs frequent or expensive repairs, heats unevenly or keeps pushing your bills up is usually costing more to keep than to replace. We will tell you which side of that line your furnace is on. If replacement is the better path, see our furnace installation page for how we size and quote a new system.
FAQ: Furnace Repair & Maintenance
Q: How do I know if I need a new furnace or just repairs?
A: Consider replacement if your furnace is over 15 years old, needs frequent or expensive repairs, heats unevenly, or drives up energy bills. Newer units with minor issues are usually worth repairing. Art Smith And Son gives an honest repair-or-replace assessment so you can decide with confidence.
Q: What is the average life of a residential furnace?
A: A well-maintained gas furnace typically lasts 15-20 years. Annual maintenance, regular filter changes, and prompt repairs help it reach the upper end of that range. Once a furnace passes 15 years and repairs add up, it's smart to start planning a replacement.
Q: My furnace is blowing cold air. What could be wrong?
A: Cold air can come from a thermostat setting, a pilot or ignition problem, an overheating system that's shut off the burners, or a clogged filter. Some causes are simple, others need a technician. Art Smith And Son diagnoses the issue safely and restores heat, often same-day.
Q: Is it normal for my furnace to make noise when it starts up?
A: A brief, soft whoosh at startup is normal. Banging, booming, rattling, screeching, or whistling is not - these can signal delayed ignition, a loose part, or a blower issue, and some point to safety concerns. Have it inspected promptly. Our Fleetwood technicians service all furnace brands.
Q: Can furnace maintenance really lower my energy bills?
A: Yes. A clean, properly tuned furnace burns fuel more efficiently, so it uses less energy to heat your home. Annual maintenance also prevents breakdowns and extends equipment life. Ask Art Smith And Son about our maintenance plan for priority scheduling and member discounts across Berks County.
