Warning Signs

Signs You Need Furnace Repair

Don't ignore these warning signs. Early diagnosis can prevent costly repairs.

Furnace Not Turning On

Could be a thermostat issue, electrical problem, pilot light, or ignition failure.

Blowing Cold Air

If your furnace runs but blows cold air, you may have a pilot light, flame sensor, or gas valve issue.

Strange Noises

Banging, squealing, or rattling sounds indicate mechanical problems requiring immediate attention.

Frequent Cycling

If your furnace turns on and off frequently, it could indicate a clogged filter, thermostat issue, or overheating.

Yellow Pilot Light

A yellow or flickering pilot light (should be blue) may indicate dangerous carbon monoxide. Call immediately.

High Energy Bills

A sudden spike in heating costs often means your furnace is working inefficiently due to a malfunction.

Experiencing Any of These Issues?

Don't wait for a complete breakdown. Early diagnosis can save you hundreds in repairs.

Common Questions

Furnace Repair FAQ

Everything Charlotte homeowners need to know about furnace repair

How much does furnace repair cost in Charlotte?

Furnace repairs in Charlotte typically cost $200-$900 depending on the issue. Common repairs like thermostat replacement cost $300-$800, while heat exchanger repairs run $800-$1,500. We charge a $89 diagnostic fee (waived with repair) and provide upfront pricing. Financing available from $45/month.

Why isn't my furnace turning on?

Common causes include thermostat issues, tripped breakers, dirty filters, ignition problems, or faulty limit switches. Learn more about why your furnace isn't heating. We provide same-day diagnostics ($89, waived with repair) to identify and fix the problem quickly.

Is a yellow pilot light dangerous?

Yes! A yellow or flickering pilot light may indicate carbon monoxide production or incomplete combustion. This is a safety hazard. Turn off your furnace immediately and call us for emergency service. We provide emergency service with no after-hours fees for safety issues.

Should I repair or replace my furnace?

If your furnace is under 12 years old and repair costs less than 50% of replacement, repair is usually best. For furnaces 15+ years old or needing frequent repairs, replacement saves money. Use our repair calculator to help decide. We'll give honest recommendations.

Do you offer emergency furnace repair?

Yes! We provide emergency furnace repair in Charlotte. While our winters are mild, we know you can't go without heat. Same-day service, no after-hours fees, same transparent pricing as regular hours.

How quickly can you fix my furnace?

Most furnace repairs are completed within 2-3 hours. Simple fixes like thermostat or filter issues take under an hour. We stock common parts for faster service in Charlotte. Average response time is under 2 hours for emergencies.

What brands of furnaces do you repair?

We repair all major furnace brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Bryant, York, Amana, Heil, and more. Our technicians have 25+ years combined experience with gas, electric, and oil furnaces.

Do you check for carbon monoxide during furnace repairs?

Absolutely! Every furnace service includes carbon monoxide and safety checks. This is non-negotiable—your family's safety comes first. We'll test combustion, check for cracks, inspect venting, and ensure safe operation.

Why is my furnace making loud banging noises?

Banging noises often indicate delayed ignition (gas buildup), loose ductwork, or a cracked heat exchanger. Learn more about HVAC noise issues. Turn off your furnace and call us immediately. Delayed ignition can be dangerous, and cracked heat exchangers leak carbon monoxide.

How often should I have my furnace serviced in Charlotte?

Annual furnace maintenance is recommended, ideally in October before heating season. Even in Charlotte's mild winters, regular service prevents 85% of breakdowns, improves efficiency, and ensures safety. Our maintenance plans start at $240/year.

Do you work on gas and electric furnaces?

Yes! We service gas (natural gas and propane), electric, and oil furnaces. Charlotte homes primarily use gas and electric heat pumps, but we handle all types. Our technicians are licensed for gas line work (required in NC).

What warranty do you provide on furnace repairs?

We provide a 1-year parts and labor warranty on all furnace repairs. We stand behind our work—we're a family-owned company serving Charlotte since 2008.

Can I fix my furnace myself?

We don't recommend it for safety reasons. Furnace work involves gas lines, carbon monoxide risks, and electrical hazards. Simple tasks like filter changes are fine, but diagnosis and repair should be done by licensed professionals. Charlotte has specific codes and licensing requirements.

What if I can't afford the furnace repair?

We offer financing from $45/month with approved credit. We understand unexpected repairs are stressful. We'll also provide honest advice on whether repair makes sense or if replacement would be more cost-effective long-term.

Are you licensed for gas furnace work in North Carolina?

Yes! We're fully licensed (NC License #L.37276), bonded, and insured for all HVAC work including gas lines. All our technicians are background-checked and trained on safety protocols. Check our customer reviews to see why Charlotte trusts us.
