Symptoms

Furnace faults we handle most often

A furnace that will not stay lit is a safety call as much as a comfort call — combustion faults are diagnosed with instruments, not guesses.

  • Furnace ignites then shuts off within seconds — flame sensor or ignitor fault.
  • No ignition at all, with a fault code flashing on the control board.
  • Blower runs but no heat is produced — gas valve, pressure switch or roll-out safety tripped.
  • Short cycling under load, especially on colder nights.
  • Loud rumble, boom on ignition or delayed light-off from a dirty burner.
  • Blower will not stop after the burner shuts down — limit switch or board relay.
  • Condensate leak from a high-efficiency furnace trap or heat exchanger drain.
  • Yellow flame or soot — combustion issue that needs immediate attention.
Process

How the furnace diagnostic runs

  1. Board fault codes read

    The control board is queried for stored codes before anything is stripped down.

  2. Combustion measured

    Gas pressure at the valve, flame current at the sensor and stack temperature are read against manufacturer targets.

  3. Safety chain tested

    Pressure switch, limit switches and roll-outs are checked for correct open/close behaviour.

  4. Written quote

    Part number, labour and total in writing. Nothing is replaced without your approval.

Frequently asked questions

How much does furnace repair cost in NYC?

A business-hours furnace diagnostic runs $150 to $300 and is credited toward the repair when you approve it on the same visit. Most completed repairs land between $300 and $900: ignitors, flame sensors, blower motor capacitors, gas valves and control boards. Heat exchanger cracks are a replacement decision, not a repair.

My furnace clicks and shuts down before heating. What is happening?

The most common causes are a dirty flame sensor failing to prove flame within the trial-for-ignition window, a weak hot surface ignitor, or a pressure switch that never closes because the flue is blocked or the condensate trap is full. A technician reads the control board fault codes and the pressure-switch signal to isolate which.

Do you work on gas and electric furnaces?

Yes. Natural gas furnaces are the majority of what NYC buildings run; we also service electric furnaces and electric heat strips in heat pump systems. We do not perform gas piping alterations; that work is scoped to a licensed plumber when required.

How fast can you get to my building for a no-heat call?

In winter no-heat calls are triaged as urgent. Manhattan addresses are usually reached the same business day and often within a few hours; Brooklyn and Queens depend on the hour and the schedule. If the honest answer is the next morning we say so on the call.

What brands do you service?

Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, Bryant, Amana and Weil-McLain among others. Parts availability differs by brand, and we tell you at diagnosis whether an ignitor or board is on the truck or must be ordered.

Do you replace furnaces?

We repair furnaces and issue honest condition reports. When a heat exchanger is cracked or the equipment is at end of life we say so and refer full replacement work; we do not push replacement on top of a valid repair.
