Common furnace problems
- No heat at all: thermostat, ignitor, flame sensor, pressure switch or control board.
- Blowing cold air: ignition problems, a tripped limit switch or a clogged filter.
- Short cycling: overheating, a dirty flame sensor or a thermostat problem.
- Loud banging, squealing or rattling: delayed ignition, a worn blower motor or a loose panel.
- Higher bills and uneven rooms: airflow problems or a struggling unit.
Quick checks before you call
- Thermostat set to Heat and above room temperature, with fresh batteries.
- Furnace switch (looks like a light switch) is on, and the breaker hasn't tripped.
- Air filter isn't clogged.
- Furnace panel door is closed properly.
Still nothing? Call. Don't keep resetting a furnace that keeps shutting off.
Smell gas or CO alarm going off?
Leave the house right away and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Don't touch switches. Once it's safe, a heating company can find and fix the cause.

FAQ
Furnace Repair: common questions
Can you fix all makes?
The heating companies in our network work on all major makes and models of gas, electric and oil furnaces.
Repair or replace my furnace?
Furnaces commonly last around 15 to 20 years. Frequent breakdowns, a cracked heat exchanger or an older unit with rising bills usually point to replacement.
Do you do the repairs yourselves?
No. HVACServiceLine is a referral service. The heating and cooling company you speak with does the work and agrees the details with you directly.
