Common Furnace Problems We Fix

Furnace Won't Start

Dirty flame sensor, failed igniter, tripped safety switch, or thermostat issues. We find it on-site.

Blower Runs, No Heat

Air moving but cold. Usually ignition failure, gas supply, or a limit switch doing its job.

Short Cycling

Turns on and off rapidly without completing a heat cycle. Overheating or a sensor issue.

Strange Smells

Burning dust on first start is normal. Persistent burning or rotten-egg smells are not. Call immediately.

Banging or Screeching

Delayed ignition, blower bearings, or a cracked belt. Noises always mean something.

Carbon Monoxide Warnings

CO detector going off? Leave the home and call. We test CO levels on every gas furnace job.

Whatever the symptom, we start with safety checks (CO, gas leaks, venting) before function diagnostics.

Local Knowledge

Why Arizona Furnaces Fail on the First Cold Night

Most Arizona furnaces only run a few months per year, and that creates its own failure pattern. Long off-season periods let dust, spider webs, and rodent activity build up in burner assemblies, and out here in the desert near the Superstitions there's plenty of all three. Igniters and pilot systems that sat unused for eight months often fail on the first cold night, which is exactly when you find out.

That's why we recommend an annual pre-winter inspection (October to November): catch the failed igniter in the fall, not at 9pm on the first freeze. And on every gas repair, combustion testing and CO checks are included, not optional.

Honest Pricing

How Much Does Furnace Repair Cost?

Most furnace repairs in the East Valley run $150 to $1,000 depending on the part: flame sensor cleaning or replacement ($150 to $300), igniter replacement ($200 to $400), gas valve ($300 to $700), blower motor ($400 to $800). Our $90 diagnostic is waived if you move forward with the repair, with a written quote before any work.

Heat exchanger failure on an older furnace ($1,500 to $2,500) is the exception: at that point, furnace replacement is usually the smarter path, and we'll show you both numbers honestly. Call (602) 370-6847.

FAQ

Furnace Repair Questions, Answered Straight

Why won't my furnace start?

Common causes include a dirty flame sensor, failed igniter, tripped safety switch, thermostat issue, dead battery in the thermostat, no power to the unit, or a closed gas valve. We diagnose all of these on-site.

Is a burning smell from the furnace normal?

A faint burning smell the first time you turn on the furnace each fall is normal (it's dust burning off the heat exchanger). A persistent burning smell, especially electrical or plastic burning, is not normal. Turn off the furnace and call us immediately.

I smell rotten eggs near my furnace. What should I do?

Leave the home immediately. Rotten eggs is the odor added to natural gas to make leaks detectable. Call your gas company emergency line first, then call us. Do not turn on lights, light a flame, or operate any electrical switches until the gas company clears the leak.

How fast can you get to my house for a furnace repair?

Same-day in most cases, especially during cold weather. We prioritize no-heat emergencies. Call (602) 370-6847 for a real ETA.

Can a furnace cause carbon monoxide poisoning?

Yes, especially older furnaces with cracked heat exchangers or improperly vented systems. Every Arizona home with a gas furnace should have working CO detectors. Rush HVAC checks CO levels during every gas furnace repair.

Is it worth repairing an old furnace?

Depends on the age and repair cost. Furnaces over 20 years old with major repairs (heat exchanger, gas valve) are often better replaced. See our furnace replacement service. We give you both numbers honestly during the visit.

Do you repair package units too?

Yes. We handle gas furnace components in rooftop package units common in Arizona homes, including both heating and cooling sides of the system.
