FAQs
What are the most common gas furnace problems you repair in Seymour?
In Seymour, the issues we see most often are faulty igniters, worn blower motors, cracked heat exchangers, and clogged flame sensors. Because our winter temperatures fluctuate between mild and below-freezing, systems cycle on and off frequently, which accelerates wear on ignition and blower components. Our certified technicians carry the most common replacement parts on their trucks, so in 90 % of cases we can diagnose and repair these problems in a single visit.
How quickly can you restore heat if my furnace stops working?
We offer same-day emergency service throughout Seymour and the surrounding Blount County area. Calls received before 3 p.m. are typically handled the same day; after-hours calls are queued for first-thing-in-the-morning service. Most repairs take 1–2 hours once the technician is on-site because we stock OEM and high-quality universal parts on our service vehicles. If a rare part has to be ordered, we can often provide temporary electric heat and return as soon as the part arrives (usually within 24–48 hours).
How much does a typical gas furnace repair cost?
For straightforward fixes—such as replacing a flame sensor, pressure switch, or thermostat—repairs usually fall between $150 and $300. More complex issues like blower motor replacement or heat exchanger repair can range from $450 to $1,200 depending on model and part availability. Before any work begins, you receive a flat-rate quote that won’t change even if the job takes longer than expected, so there are no surprises on your final bill.
What signs should I look for that indicate my furnace needs service?
Watch for these early warning signs: uneven heating or cold spots in your home, unexplained increases in gas or electric bills, frequent on-off cycling (short-cycling), strange noises such as banging or squealing, and any noticeable odors (especially a rotten-egg smell, which could indicate a gas leak). If your carbon monoxide detector ever alarms, turn off the furnace, ventilate the area, and call us immediately. Addressing these symptoms promptly helps prevent larger, costlier damage.
Do you offer maintenance plans for Seymour homeowners?
Yes. Our Comfort Guard maintenance plan includes a 21-point furnace inspection each fall and a cooling tune-up each spring. Members receive priority scheduling, a 15 % discount on any needed repairs, and no overtime fees—ideal for homeowners who want worry-free heating during Seymour’s cold snaps. Regular maintenance can extend system life by up to 30 % and keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid.
Will repairing my older furnace improve energy efficiency, or should I consider replacement?
Minor repairs and proper tuning can boost an older unit’s efficiency by 5–10 %, which often translates into noticeable savings on winter utility bills. However, if your furnace is over 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or has an AFUE rating below 80 %, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. We provide free, no-pressure assessments and can calculate payback periods so you can decide whether to repair or upgrade to a new high-efficiency model.
