Common questions

Why is my furnace not heating?

Several issues can prevent your furnace from heating. The thermostat may need new batteries or be set incorrectly. A tripped circuit breaker or a dirty air filter can also stop it. Sometimes, the pilot light won't stay lit, or a key internal part has failed. We can pinpoint the exact cause.

What does a heating repair cost?

The cost of heating repair varies depending on the problem. Minor fixes are less expensive than replacing major components. The complexity of your heating system and the time needed for the repair also influence the price. We provide a free phone quote to give you an estimate.

What is the 3 minute rule for AC?

The 3-minute rule for AC means waiting about three minutes after your air conditioner turns off before turning it back on. This allows the system's internal pressures to stabilize. Starting it again too quickly can stress the compressor and lead to expensive repairs. It's a simple way to protect your unit.

Why is my heat running but not warming?

If your heat is running but not warming your home, there are a few possibilities. The furnace might be circulating air, but the heating elements are not working. A faulty ignitor or burner could be the issue. If you have a heat pump, a refrigerant leak is also a concern. We will investigate thoroughly.
