Signs your furnace needs attention
Furnaces rarely quit without warning first. If you notice any of these, it's worth a call before the cold settles in.
No heat
The blower runs but the air never gets warm, or the furnace won't start at all.
Short cycling
The furnace turns on and off every few minutes instead of running a normal cycle.
Strange noises
Banging, rattling, squealing or rumbling sounds that weren't there before.
Rising gas bills
Your usage hasn't changed but your bills keep climbing.
Yellow burner flame
A healthy flame is blue; a yellow or flickering flame can mean a combustion problem.
Frequent resets
You keep having to restart the furnace to keep the house warm.
None of these mean your furnace is done for — most have more than one cause. The only way to know is to look at it, and that's exactly what we do.
What a repair visit looks like
First you call or send the request form. We talk through what's going on — what you're seeing, how long it's been happening, and whether the heat is out completely or just acting up. That conversation often tells us a lot before we ever turn a screwdriver.
Then we come out and look at it. We take a real look at your furnace: the burners, the flame, the blower, the filter, the venting, the thermostat, and the safety controls. We explain what we found in plain language, what it would take to fix it, and what replacement would look like if that's the better path.
You get a price before any work starts. No work begins until you say go. You're never locked into anything, and you decide what makes sense for your home and your budget.
Repair or replace — in plain language
A repair that's small and the furnace is in decent shape? We'll fix it. A repair that's half the cost of a furnace that's already near the end of its life? We'll say so. We don't push replacement to run up a bill, and we don't paper over a real problem with a quick fix that won't last the winter.
The decision always comes down to what's wrong, what repair costs, and the condition of what's already there. We lay both options out with a price for each and let you choose.
We install Goodman, Comfortmaker, Rheem and Mitsubishi equipment, and we're an authorized Comfortmaker dealer. Every job comes with a 1-year labor warranty.
Free estimates on new system installations and home additions. Financing available on approved credit.
Other ways to heat your home
A gas furnace isn't the only way to heat a home in Washington County. If you're weighing your options, here are the other heating systems we work on.
Western Pennsylvania winters and why a fall check matters
A Houston, PA January is no time to discover your furnace has a problem. The cold here is steady and long, and the homes across Washington County and the South Hills lean hard on their heating for months at a stretch.
That's why a fall check matters. A look at your furnace in October gives you time to handle a small issue — a dirty burner, a worn part, a venting problem — before it becomes a no-heat call in the middle of a freeze. You're not committed to anything; you're just getting ahead of the season.
And if the fall check turns up something bigger, you've got time to weigh repair and replacement on your schedule instead of the furnace's.
A note on carbon monoxide
A furnace that isn't burning properly can produce carbon monoxide — you can't see it or smell it. If your carbon monoxide alarm goes off, get everyone outside and call 911. Don't re-enter until it's been checked and cleared. Working carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home, near sleeping areas, matter. Call us after it's safe to look at the furnace.
