When Do I Need Emergency Furnace Repair?
When furnace emergencies develop, it’s important to address them early to keep the disruption to a minimum. Here are some signs to watch out for:
- Burning odors
- Carbon monoxide detector alarms
- Continuous operation for extended periods
- No warm air
- Yellow or orange pilot light
- Rotten egg odors near your furnace
Can I Repair My Furnace Myself?
While most repairs are best left to the professionals, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot your furnace:
- Change dirty air filters
- Clear intake vents of obstructions
- Replace thermostat batteries
- Ensure the thermostat is set to heat with the fan on auto and the temperature set higher than the current indoor temperature
You should schedule heating maintenance every fall to avoid these common causes of furnace issues and prevent a heating breakdown.
Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?
In some cases, it may make more sense to replace the furnace instead of repairing it. Our qualified, skilled technicians can help you understand your options when considering factors such as:
- Which components to be repaired or replaced
- Repair costs versus replacement costs
- System age

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Furnace Repair
How concerned should I be if my furnace smells like rotten eggs?
This could indicate a natural gas leak. Exit the home and contact your gas company immediately to shut off the gas supply. Many gas companies add a chemical that smells like rotten eggs to alert you when gas is leaking.
Can furnace problems really cost me money aside from repairs?
Yes. At the very least, furnaces that aren’t operating at their best tend to use more energy to get the job done. That means more expensive energy bills.
