COMMON FAILURES
What actually goes wrong
These are the faults behind most of the no-heat calls we take. Every one below is something we have diagnosed and repaired in Montgomery County. Most are diagnosed on the first visit.
MOST COMMON FURNACE SERVICE CALLS
Faulty gas valve
A furnace that will not power up at all is often the gas valve. We replaced one in Ambler with the house down to 46 degrees, and another on a separate call.
Inducer motor failure
A loud hum with nothing turning usually means the inducer motor has gone. Replacing it brings the furnace back — no new system needed.
Blower motor failure
The furnace fires but no air moves. We diagnosed a failed blower in Lower Gwynedd and fixed it affordably rather than replacing the unit.
Flue and venting faults
A blocked or damaged flue is a safety problem, not a performance one. We correct venting before signing any furnace off as working.
WHAT A REPAIR VISIT INCLUDES
What you get when we come out
Diagnosis before a quote
We find the fault and tell you what it is. No price goes on paper before we know what is wrong.
A 21-point inspection
Our service calls cover the whole system, not only the part that failed. It is how a second problem gets caught before it becomes a second call.
A written price upfront
You see the cost before work begins. No hidden fees and no surprise invoice afterwards.
Honest repair-or-replace advice
If the unit has years left in it we say so. If replacing is the better value we explain why rather than simply quoting it.
Gas and oil both
We service oil burners as well as gas furnaces. They are different animals and we work on each.
Combustion safety checks
Heat exchanger, flue and venting. A cracked heat exchanger takes the furnace out of service whatever else we find.
NO-HEAT CHECKLIST
Six things to check before you call
If you smell gas, stop here. Do not touch any switches. Leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. The same applies if a carbon monoxide alarm is sounding. Everything below assumes neither is the case.
01
Check the thermostat
Set to HEAT and above the room temperature. If it takes batteries, change them — a dying thermostat battery is a common cause of no heat.
02
Find the furnace switch
Most furnaces have a wall switch beside them that looks exactly like a light switch. It gets knocked off more often than you would think.
03
Check the breaker
A furnace needs electricity even if it burns gas or oil. Check the panel before assuming the worst.
04
Check the filter
A blocked filter can trip the furnace high-limit switch and shut the whole thing down as a protective measure.
05
Check the fuel supply
Is the gas shut-off valve open? If you are on oil, is there oil in the tank? Both are worth ruling out.
06
Look for a blinking light
Most furnaces flash a diagnostic code on the control board behind the access panel. Count the flashes and tell us when you call — it genuinely saves time.
WHERE WE WORK
FAQ
Common questions answered
How soon can someone come out for no heat?
Our line is answered 24/7 and same-day service is available. When we can be at your house depends on the day and where you are, so call and we will tell you honestly rather than give you a window we cannot keep.
Do you work on oil furnaces?
Yes. We service oil burners as well as gas furnaces, and oil burner service is part of our normal work across the county.
Can a cracked heat exchanger be repaired?
Almost never safely. A cracked heat exchanger can let combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, into the house, and the repair usually costs close to a new furnace. We take the furnace out of service and explain the options rather than patching it.
Should I repair or replace?
It depends on the fault, the age and what the repair costs against a replacement. We have written a straight guide to that decision — see furnace repair or replace — and we will give you the same answer in person.
