FAQ
Heating & Furnace Repair questions
Have a question that is not here? Call 1-888-715-7550.
What if I smell gas?
Leave the home right away and contact your gas utility or 911 from a safe location. Do not operate switches or appliances. Once the utility has made the area safe, call us to inspect the furnace.
Why does my furnace smell like burning dust?
A brief dusty smell at the start of the season is common as dust burns off the heat exchanger. If it persists or smells like burning plastic or electrical components, turn the system off and call us.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
Possible causes include an ignition problem, a dirty flame sensor, a tripped safety control, the thermostat fan set to on, or a clogged filter. A diagnosis pinpoints which one.
Do you repair heat pumps as well as furnaces?
Yes. We service both gas furnaces and heat pump systems.
