Air Control Mechanical
"My HVAC unit was 20 years old needed consistent repair, and my ducks where leaking. It was time for a new unit. I also wanted to relocate the condenser to improve my back yard space. I had gotten 4 quotes before someone referred me to http://www.aircmechanical.com/ Vitor was literally the first smart person to offer a quote. He suggested relocating the condenser to a side of the house and changing it to a suitcase type unit. He also came up with the creative solution of adding a 2nt inlet in another part of the house to reduce noise and improve airflow. The other contractors wanted to enlarge and or relocate the existing inlet which would have been an ugly mess. I now have an extremely efficient 2 stage unit installed correctly and he beat the other quotes. Entire product was completed in 2 days. I couldnâ t be happier. "

Red Mountain Heating and Air, Inc.
"I got bids from a *large* number of installers and Red Mountain gave me the best equipment for the price and did a nice job of it despite a few early teething problems that were resolved quickly and competently. But note that the going price in this area for heat pumps is significantly higher than in other areas of the country - regardless of which installer I let bid on my home. In my opinion, given energy price trends, the environmental impact of heating with gas, and having existing solar power on my home, the benefits of a heat pump outweighs the high price in this area, but YMMV. Think thru your position re: BayREN rebates and the recent federal Inflation Reduction Act rebates carefully to make sure you qualify."

California Heating and Cooling
"I HIGHLY! HIGHLY! Recommend this company!!! We met with several different heating & cooling businesses to get bids on replacing our 27 year old system. We decided to go with this company because we really liked the way Sean Henson inspected our old system and presented different options for us. He was very thorough in his explanations and answered every question we had. There was no high pressure to buy the most expensive system or to buy at all which is always great when your trying to get bids. Their costs are competitive and reasonable. Once we chose this company our installation was scheduled within 2 weeks and because our place is only 1145sq.ft. took a day and a half. Alex and his hardworking crew did a phenomenal job on are very old system. There were a few things that had to be brought up to the current codes and everything was done well. After each day the crew made sure everything was cleaned up. What a difference this new System made. It runs so well now and every room is nice and cool or hot depending on the need. "

HVAC Guru
"Project: A damper needed to be installed between the furnace and one duct line leading from it. In order to make sure all registers fed by the duct line were controlled by the damper, it had to be positioned as high upstream as possible. The job was complicated by an unclear vision that this should have been the original plan. This was not entirely due to the technicians. The cost of the job was calculated based upon breaking into the ceiling and accessing a substantial amount of duct. After about 5 ft of ceiling was exposed, the owner realized that any dampers installed in the exposed duct would be too far downstream to control nearby upstream registers. The job was re-purposed at that point, with the help of a more experienced technician than the one who designed the original job. A small section of the ceiling much closer to the furnace was opened up, and a damper--designed and constructed by the experienced technician--was installed through a slit made in the duct. The damper could be controlled from the outside by a lever, and would be able to determine heat flow to the registers that had been providing too much heat to the affected bedroom. HVAC Guru reduced the job cost by 11.5% to reflect the reduction in labor from the original invoice. The technicians were courteous, responsive and professional. Administrative personnel were courteous, responsive and professional. Some detailing for the damper control, and testing under real conditions (winter weather) are all that remain for the experience to be considered completed."

When your furnace stops functioning properly, it can be more than a real inconvenience. It can also be a danger if the temperatures outside are extremely cold. Unfortunately, furnaces, like other household fixtures, don't break when it's convenient so it's important to find a furnace repair service near you that can be on-site quickly to start solving the problem.
In addition to being more likely to respond sooner, local services may be able spot problems quicker if they are familiar with homes in your neighborhood. And if replacement is the best course of action (like when the furnace is already 15-20 years old), they can recommend brands and models and may even be able to save you money.
Common reasons why a furnace can fail include:
- Dirty Filter
- Mechanical Wear and Tear
- Ignition or Pilot Control Issues
- Malfunctioning Thermostat
Typical furnace repairs cost between $131 and $453.
