FAQs
How can I tell if my furnace needs professional repair rather than a simple filter change?
Common warning signs include uneven heating from room to room, a sudden spike in utility bills, strange noises such as banging or squealing, the furnace cycling on and off rapidly, or the burner flame appearing yellow instead of steady blue. If any of these symptoms persist after you’ve replaced the filter and checked your thermostat batteries, it’s time to call our Altamont-based technicians for a full diagnostic.
Do you offer emergency heating repair services in Altamont, and how fast can you arrive?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency heating repairs throughout Altamont and surrounding areas. Because our technicians are locally based and fully stocked, the average arrival time is 60 minutes or less. You’ll speak with a live dispatcher, and we’ll send real-time text updates with your technician’s name, photo, and GPS-tracked ETA.
What brands and systems are you certified to repair?
Our experienced technicians are factory-trained and EPA certified to service all major furnace and heat pump brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Bryant, York, and Mitsubishi mini-splits. We also handle oil, gas, and electric furnaces, dual-fuel systems, hydronic boilers, and smart thermostats. If it heats your home, we can fix it.
How much will a typical heat repair cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Costs vary based on the part and complexity, but most residential repairs fall between $180 and $650. Before work begins, we perform a thorough inspection and present a flat-rate quote that includes parts, labor, and tax—no hidden fees. You’ll approve the price in writing, and we honor it even if the job takes longer than expected.
Will repairing my older furnace improve energy efficiency or should I consider replacement?
A targeted repair—such as replacing a worn ignitor, blower motor, or dirty flame sensor—can restore lost efficiency and extend equipment life by several years. However, if your unit is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs exceeding 30% of the cost of a new system, or has an AFUE below 80%, we’ll discuss replacement options that could cut heating bills by up to 40%. We always present repair-vs-replace calculations so you can make an informed decision.
How often should I schedule maintenance to prevent future heat failures?
For most gas and electric furnaces, annual maintenance each fall is recommended. Heat pumps should be serviced twice a year—once in spring for cooling mode and once in fall for heating mode. Our comprehensive tune-up includes safety inspections, combustion analysis, electrical testing, cleaning, and calibration. Clients enrolled in our Comfort Club receive priority scheduling, 15% repair discounts, and warranty-preserving documentation.
