What does a typical heat repair service call include and how much does it cost?
On every heating repair visit our technician will: 1) perform a full diagnostic inspection, 2) explain the problem in plain language, 3) present repair options with upfront, flat-rate pricing, 4) obtain your approval before any work begins, and 5) test the system after repair to confirm safe operation. In Sale Creek, the diagnostic fee is $89 during regular hours and $129 after hours. Repair costs vary by part and labor required, but most common fixes (ignitors, flame sensors, blower motors, thermostat replacements) range from $150–$650 total. We stand behind all repairs with a 1-year parts and labor warranty.
How can I tell if my heating problem is something simple I can troubleshoot myself?
Before scheduling service, try these quick checks: • Make sure the thermostat is set to “Heat” and the temperature is above room temp. • Replace or clean the air filter if it’s dirty; restricted airflow can shut the system down. • Verify that the furnace or heat pump breaker hasn’t tripped at the electrical panel. • For gas units, confirm the gas valve is open and you have fuel service. • Check that outdoor heat-pump coils are clear of ice or debris. If these steps don’t restore heat—or if you smell gas, hear grinding noises, or see error codes—turn the system off and call us. Continuing to run a malfunctioning unit can cause costly damage or safety hazards.
Is repairing my old furnace more cost-effective than replacing it?
It depends on the age, efficiency, and condition of your equipment. In general, if your furnace is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has a major failure such as a cracked heat exchanger or failed compressor, replacement may be more economical and energy-efficient. During the service call, we’ll provide both repair and replacement estimates so you can make an informed decision. We also offer free second opinions, financing options, and information on TVA energy-efficiency rebates available to Sale Creek homeowners.
How can I prevent future heating breakdowns?
Preventive maintenance is the key. We recommend a professional tune-up every fall before heavy heating season. Our 21-point inspection includes cleaning burners and coils, checking safety switches, testing electrical connections, adjusting gas pressure, and verifying thermostat calibration. Regular maintenance can reduce unexpected breakdowns by up to 80 %, extend equipment life, lower utility bills, and keep your manufacturer warranty valid. Ask about our Comfort Club: members receive two seasonal tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and a 15 % discount on all repairs.
