FAQs
What are the most common reasons a furnace or heat pump stops producing heat?
In Cowan, the top culprits we see are dirty air filters that restrict airflow, failed ignitors or pilot lights, malfunctioning thermostats, tripped breakers or blown fuses, and worn-out blower motors. Heat pumps can also stop heating if the outdoor unit’s defrost cycle or reversing valve fails. Our technicians start by pinpointing the exact cause so you pay only for the repair you actually need.
How fast can you respond to a no-heat emergency in Cowan?
Because winters in Franklin County can plunge into the 20s, we prioritize no-heat calls. Our on-call technicians live and work in the Cowan area, enabling us to arrive within 1–2 hours for most emergency requests—often sooner. We keep fully stocked service vehicles so we can complete 90% of heat repairs on the first visit.
Should I repair or replace my heating system?
We follow a simple rule of thumb: if the repair costs less than 30% of the price of a new unit and the system is under 10–12 years old, repair is usually the smarter choice. However, if your furnace or heat pump is older, needs frequent fixes, or has a cracked heat exchanger or failed compressor, replacement may save you money on energy and future repairs. We’ll provide side-by-side estimates so you can decide with no pressure.
How much does a typical heat repair cost, and do you offer upfront pricing?
Minor fixes such as replacing a failed ignitor or thermostat often run $150–$300. More involved repairs, like blower motor or control board replacements, can range from $400–$800. Before any work begins, our technician diagnoses the problem, explains the solution, and presents a flat, upfront price so you know exactly what you’ll pay—no hidden fees, even for after-hours service.
Is there anything I can check myself before calling for service?
Yes—verify that your thermostat is set to “Heat” and the setpoint is above the current room temperature. Ensure the furnace switch and circuit breaker are on, and replace a dirty air filter. For gas furnaces, make sure the gas valve is open. If you have a heat pump, clear snow, leaves, or debris from around the outdoor unit. If these steps don’t restore heat, shut the system off and call us to prevent further damage.
Do you provide after-hours, weekend, and holiday heat repair in Cowan?
Absolutely. We know heaters rarely fail at convenient times, so our team is available 24/7/365—including nights, weekends, and holidays. The same certified technicians who handle weekday calls rotate through our emergency schedule, ensuring you receive experienced, courteous service whenever you need it.
