FAQs
What should I do first if my furnace suddenly stops producing heat?
Start with a few quick checks you can safely perform: • Make sure the thermostat is set to HEAT and the temperature is higher than the current room temperature. • Look at your electrical panel and reset any tripped furnace or air-handler breakers. • Check that the furnace power switch (usually on a nearby wall or the side of the unit) is in the ON position. • Replace or clean a clogged furnace filter; severe blockages can trigger a safety shutdown. If these steps don’t restore heat—or if you smell gas, notice burning odors, or hear unusual noises—turn the system off and call our 24/7 emergency line immediately. Our dispatcher will walk you through any additional safety steps while a technician is on the way.
How fast can your team reach my Cleveland-area home during a no-heat emergency?
We maintain fully staffed crews around the clock during the heating season. In most Cleveland neighborhoods we arrive within 60–90 minutes of your call, even on nights, weekends, and holidays. A GPS-tracked service van stocked with the most common replacement parts is dispatched as soon as your call is logged, so repairs can usually begin the moment we arrive.
Which types of heating systems do you repair when there’s a no-heat shutdown?
Our NATE-certified technicians are trained to diagnose and repair virtually every residential heating technology found in Northeast Ohio: • Natural-gas and propane forced-air furnaces • Electric furnaces and air handlers • Heat pumps (air-source and hybrid systems) • Steam and hot-water boilers • Ductless mini-split heating units • Packaged rooftop units (for light commercial or mixed-use properties) We service all major brands—Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Bryant, Goodman, Rheem, American Standard, York, and more—and have direct access to OEM parts when needed.
Will I need to replace my furnace, or can it usually be repaired?
Most no-heat calls end with a repair, not a replacement. Common failures include igniters, flame sensors, blower motors, limit switches, and control boards—all parts we stock on our trucks. After a full diagnostic we’ll explain exactly what failed, why it failed, and the cost to fix it. We’ll also give you the life-expectancy of your equipment based on age and condition. If a furnace is 15–20 years old, has a cracked heat exchanger, or requires repairs that exceed 40–50 percent of the cost of a new unit, we may recommend replacement instead. The final decision is always yours, and we offer financing options for both repairs and replacements.
How much does emergency no-heat repair usually cost in the Cleveland market?
Pricing is transparent and presented before any work begins. Typical ranges: • Diagnostic/dispatch fee: $89–$129 (waived with repair approval) • Common part replacement (igniter, sensor, capacitor): $150–$350 total • Major components (blower motor, control board): $450–$900 total • After-hours premium: None—our rates are the same 24/7/365 You’ll receive a written quote that covers parts, labor, and a one-year workmanship warranty. We accept major credit cards, debit, and offer 0%-interest financing on repairs over $500.
What can I do to prevent another no-heat shutdown?
• Schedule a professional tune-up every fall. Our technicians clean burners, verify gas pressures, test safety switches, and lubricate motors to catch problems early. • Change or wash your air filter every 1–3 months to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating shutoffs. • Keep supply and return vents unblocked by furniture or rugs. • Install a programmable or smart thermostat to avoid extreme temperature swings that stress equipment. • Consider enrolling in our Comfort Club maintenance plan. Members receive two precision tune-ups a year, priority emergency service, 15% off repairs, and no overtime fees.
