Learn moreWhy is my furnace blowing cold air?
This is usually a thermostat setting or fan-mode issue, a delayed ignition problem, or a dirty flame sensor preventing the burners from staying lit. In some cases it's the furnace running its blower before the heat exchanger has warmed up, which is normal briefly but shouldn't last.
How much does furnace repair cost?
It depends entirely on what's wrong — a flame sensor cleaning is a very different cost than a control board or heat exchanger issue. We diagnose first and give you an exact number before starting any repair.
What are the signs of a failing furnace?
Frequent repairs, rising heating bills, uneven heating room to room, strange noises, short cycling, and a furnace older than 15-20 years are all signs worth a professional look — even if it's still technically running.
How long does a furnace last?
Most furnaces last 15-20 years with regular maintenance. Past that point, repair costs and the risk of a mid-winter breakdown both tend to climb, which is when replacement starts to make more financial sense than another repair.
Can a bad thermostat cause furnace problems?
Yes — a miscalibrated or failing thermostat can prevent your furnace from cycling correctly, cause short cycling, or make it seem like the furnace itself is broken when the issue is upstream. We check the thermostat as part of every diagnosis.
