If your furnace can be safely and reliably repaired, we will recommend repair before replacement.
Furnace Problems We Repair

Sometimes the heat stops altogether. Other times the furnace continues running but something does not seem right.
Call for furnace repair if you notice:
- Furnace will not turn on
- Furnace runs but does not heat
- Cold or lukewarm air from the vents
- Furnace starts and then shuts off
- Furnace turns on and off too often
- Weak airflow
- Blower runs constantly
- Some rooms stay colder than others
- Banging, rattling, squealing, or humming noises
- Burning or unusual smells

- Heating bills suddenly increase
- Furnace runs much longer than normal
You do not need to know which part is causing the problem before calling us.
Tell us what your furnace is doing.
We will take it from there.
We Find the Cause Before Recommending a Repair
A furnace has many parts that work together to heat your home.
The same symptom can have several possible causes.
That is why we do not want to guess.
Depending on the problem, we may inspect and test components such as:
- Ignitors
- Flame sensors
- Burners
- Blower motors
- Draft inducer motors
- Limit switches
- Thermostats
- Control boards
- Gas valves
- Electrical components
- Capacitors
- Safety switches
- Air filters
- Airflow
- Venting
The goal is to identify the actual cause of the heating problem.
Once we know what is wrong, we can explain the repair.
What to Expect When David Comes to Your Home
Hiring someone to work on your furnace should not feel confusing.
Here is what you can expect from David’s HVAC.
We Listen to What You Have Noticed
Tell us what the furnace has been doing.
Maybe it will not start.
Maybe it starts and shuts off a few minutes later.
Maybe the blower is running but your house is still cold.
Those details can help with the diagnosis.
We Diagnose the Furnace
David will inspect and test the heating system to find the cause of the problem.
The goal is not to replace parts until something works.
The goal is to determine what is actually wrong.
We Explain What We Found
Once the problem is identified, we explain it in plain language.
You should understand what is wrong with your furnace and why a repair is being recommended.
You Get the Price Before Additional Work Begins
If the furnace needs a repair, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve it.
No surprise repair work.
No guessing about what you are paying for.
You Decide What Happens Next
The final decision is yours.
We give you the information you need to make that decision without unnecessary sales pressure.
Repair Before Replacement
This is an important part of how David’s HVAC does business.
An older furnace does not automatically need to be replaced.
If your furnace has a repairable problem and the system can continue operating safely and reliably, we will tell you.
We consider the actual problem, condition of the equipment, safety, repair cost, reliability, and overall performance.
Sometimes replacement really is the better choice.
A furnace may have a serious safety problem, major component failure, repeated breakdowns, or a repair that does not make financial sense.
If we believe replacement should be considered, we will explain why.
Then you decide.
Our job is not to sell you equipment you do not need.
Our job is to give you an honest recommendation.
If you are considering a new heating system, see our Furnace Installation service.
Furnace Safety Comes First
Heating problems can involve more than comfort.
Gas furnaces use combustion and venting along with electrical components and safety controls.
If we find a problem that could affect the safe operation of your furnace, we will explain it clearly.
Some situations should not wait for a normal repair visit.
If you smell gas, leave the area and contact your gas utility or emergency services from a safe location.
If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the home and follow the emergency instructions for your alarm.
Do not continue operating a furnace if you believe there may be a serious gas, combustion, or carbon monoxide problem.

Can Furnace Maintenance Help Prevent Repairs?
Not every furnace breakdown can be prevented.
Regular maintenance can still help find problems before they turn into larger failures.
It can also help keep the furnace clean and check important parts of the heating system before winter.
Homeowners can help by checking the air filter regularly, keeping vents open, and paying attention when the furnace begins sounding or operating differently.

Common Furnace Repair Questions
A furnace that lights and quickly shuts down may have a flame sensing, ignition, airflow, safety control, or other furnace problem. Repeated shutdowns are a sign that the system should be diagnosed.
Many furnaces use an indicator light to report operating conditions or fault codes. The meaning depends on the furnace manufacturer and model. Do not replace parts based only on the light. The code can help with diagnosis, but the cause still needs to be confirmed.
Banging can have several causes depending on when the noise occurs. It may involve the ductwork, blower, burners, or another part of the heating system. A new or severe banging noise should be inspected.
A mild dusty smell can occur when a furnace is first used after sitting unused. Strong burning, electrical, gas, or unusual odors are different. Turn the system off if you suspect an unsafe condition and have it checked.
First check whether the thermostat fan setting is set to “On” instead of “Auto”. If the blower continues running when it should not, the problem could involve the thermostat, control board, limit control, or another component.
Restricted airflow from a dirty filter, blocked vents, blower problems, or other furnace issues can contribute to overheating. Furnaces have safety controls designed to shut the system down when certain unsafe conditions occur. Repeated overheating needs to be diagnosed.
A high-pitched squeal can be related to the blower motor, bearings, or another moving component. If the sound is new or getting worse, have the furnace checked before the component fails completely.
Repeatedly resetting a furnace without knowing why it is shutting down is not a good solution. A safety control or furnace problem may be causing the shutdown. If the problem keeps returning, have the system diagnosed.
