FAQs
What are common signs my furnace or heat pump needs repair?
Watch for insufficient or uneven heat, frequent cycling on and off, unexplained increases in utility bills, strange noises (bangs, squeals, rattles), unusual odors, a yellow or flickering burner flame, or tripped carbon-monoxide detectors. Any of these issues indicate the system is struggling and should be inspected by a trained technician as soon as possible to prevent further damage or safety risks.
How quickly can your Dayton technicians respond to a no-heat emergency?
For emergency no-heat situations we offer 24/7 dispatch and typically arrive anywhere in the greater Dayton area within 2–4 hours. During severe weather our customer-care team triages calls based on urgency (homes with elderly occupants, infants, or medically fragile individuals are prioritized). Non-emergency repairs can usually be scheduled for the same or next business day.
Do you service all furnace and heat pump brands and models?
Yes. Our certified technicians undergo continual factory training and carry parts for leading brands such as Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, Bryant, and Amana. We also repair specialty equipment, high-efficiency modulating furnaces, ductless mini-splits, geothermal heat pumps, and older legacy systems no longer under warranty. If a proprietary component is required, we can usually source it within 24–48 hours.
How much does a typical heat repair cost?
Costs vary with the type of system, part prices, and labor time. After diagnosis we present a flat-rate, upfront quote so you know the exact investment before work starts. Minor fixes such as flame sensor cleaning or thermostat replacement often run $150–$300; blower motor or ignition control board replacement may range $450–$900; major heat-exchanger or compressor repairs can exceed $1,000. We never proceed without your authorization, and financing options are available for larger repairs.
What should I check before calling for heat repair service?
Save time and money by doing a quick homeowner checklist: 1. Make sure the thermostat is set to Heat and the setpoint is above room temperature. 2. Verify the furnace switch or outdoor heat-pump disconnect is on and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. 3. Replace or clean the air filter if it’s dirty—restricted airflow will shut many units down. 4. Inspect intake and exhaust vents for snow, leaves, or debris blockages. 5. For gas furnaces, ensure the gas valve is open. If you smell gas, leave immediately and call the utility. If the system still fails to run or heat properly after these steps, schedule a professional service call.
How can preventive maintenance reduce future heating repairs?
Annual maintenance keeps components clean, lubricated, and correctly adjusted, which reduces stress on motors, bearings, and electrical parts. Technicians also test safety controls, check refrigerant or gas pressures, tighten loose wiring, and spot worn parts before they fail. According to ENERGY STAR, well-maintained equipment can cut breakdowns by up to 95 % and lower heating costs by 10–15 %. We offer an affordable Comfort Club plan that includes priority scheduling, two tune-ups a year (heating and cooling), and repair discounts, helping Dayton homeowners avoid surprise failures and extend system life.
