Signs Your Heating System Needs Repair
- No heat or cold air blowing instead
- Furnace short cycling (turning on and off rapidly)
- Loud banging, scraping, or popping noises
- Yellow flame instead of blue (gas furnace) — possible carbon monoxide risk
- Heat pump running but house won’t warm up
- Strong burning smell when system kicks on
- Sudden spike in heating bill with no usage change
- Pilot light keeps going out
Our Heating Repair Process
1. Cold-weather priority dispatch
When temps drop, no-heat calls jump our queue. Same-day in nearly all cases.
2. Safety check first
For gas systems, we check carbon monoxide levels, gas pressure, and venting before anything else. Safety is non-negotiable.
3. Diagnostic + flat-rate quote
Pinpoint the issue, show you the problem, and write a flat-rate quote before any work begins.
4. On-truck repair when possible
Common parts (igniters, capacitors, control boards) are on the truck. Special-order parts in 1–3 business days.
5. 1-year repair warranty + manufacturer warranties
Same part fails within a year, we come back free. Manufacturer parts warranties also apply.
Pricing
Diagnostic: $89 flat-rate (waived with repair). Most heating repairs: $200–$850. Heat exchanger replacement (worst case): $1,200–$2,500.
Frequently Asked Questions
My furnace cycles but no heat. What is it?
Most common: failed igniter, dirty flame sensor, or a tripped pressure switch. Cheap fixes if caught early. Tech will diagnose specifically.
Should I repair or replace my old furnace?
If your furnace is 15+ years old AND the repair is over $1,000, replacement usually wins on lifetime cost. We give straight answers, not pressure.
What about my heat pump?
Heat pumps in SC do double duty (heat in winter, AC in summer). When they fail in winter, the issue is often a frozen outdoor coil or a defrost cycle problem. We service all major heat pump brands.
