Furnace Repairs We Handle
Most furnace failures come down to a handful of components. These are the repairs we perform most often across our service area:
Ignition & Flame Sensor Failures
A dirty flame sensor or failed hot surface igniter is the single most common no-heat call we get. Often a same-visit fix.
Blower Motor & Capacitor
Furnace runs but no air moves, or you hear humming without startup. Usually a capacitor or worn blower motor.
Control Board & Thermostat Faults
Short cycling, no response, or error codes on the board. We read the diagnostics rather than swapping parts blindly.
Limit Switches & Overheating
A furnace shutting off before reaching temperature is usually restricted airflow — a dirty filter, blocked return, or failing limit switch.
Gas Valves & Pressure Switches
Failure to light or lockout conditions. Always tested with combustion analysis before and after the repair.
Cracked Heat Exchangers
A serious safety issue. We inspect for cracks on every service call and will never leave a carbon monoxide hazard operating.
Condensate Drain Blockages
High-efficiency furnaces shut down when condensate cannot drain. Common and inexpensive to correct.
Oil Furnace Nozzles & Pumps
Oil burner tune-ups, nozzle and filter replacement, electrode setting, and combustion adjustment.
Signs Your Furnace Needs Service
- No heat, or heat that comes and goes — short cycling is almost always a fault worth diagnosing before it worsens.
- Yellow or flickering burner flame — a healthy gas flame burns blue. Yellow can indicate incomplete combustion and carbon monoxide risk.
- Banging, rattling, screeching, or booming on startup — mechanical wear or delayed ignition, both worth addressing immediately.
- A burning or acrid smell that does not clear — shut the system down and call us.
- Rising heating bills with no change in weather or habits — efficiency loss from a dirty or failing component.
- Uneven heat between rooms — often airflow or ductwork rather than the furnace itself.
- Your carbon monoxide detector has sounded — leave the house, then call us and the fire department.
Repair or Replace? How We Help You Decide
We use a straightforward test rather than a sales pitch. If your furnace is under 12 years old and the repair costs less than a third of a replacement, repair is almost always the smarter money. If it is 15+ years old, has needed multiple repairs in one season, or has a cracked heat exchanger, replacement usually costs less over the next five years than keeping it alive.
We give you the actual numbers for both paths — repair cost, replacement cost, and the difference in annual operating expense — and let you choose. If replacement is the right call, we install high-efficiency RUUD furnaces up to 98% AFUE.
Our Furnace Service Process
✅ Fast Scheduling — Including 24/7 Emergency
No-heat calls are treated as emergencies. We answer around the clock, 365 days a year.
✅ Real Diagnosis, Not Guesswork
We test components and read board diagnostics to find the actual fault before quoting anything.
✅ Up-Front Pricing Before Work Begins
You approve the repair cost before we start. No surprise invoices.
✅ Combustion & Carbon Monoxide Testing
Every gas and oil furnace we touch gets a full combustion analysis and CO safety check before we leave.
✅ Honest Repair-vs-Replace Guidance
If a repair will not hold or the system is unsafe, we say so — and if it will, we fix it and leave.
Annual Furnace Maintenance
Most furnace breakdowns are preventable. An annual tune-up cleans the burners and flame sensor, verifies gas pressure and combustion, checks the heat exchanger for cracks, tests safety controls, and confirms airflow — the exact failures that otherwise become midnight emergency calls.
Annual maintenance is also required to keep most manufacturer warranties valid. Skipping it can void coverage on a system you are still paying for. Our maintenance plans include seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, and discounted repairs.
Considering a Heat Pump Instead?
If your furnace is nearing the end of its life, this is the right moment to ask whether a Mitsubishi heat pump would serve your home better. A cold-climate heat pump heats and cools with one system, runs efficiently well below zero, removes combustion and carbon monoxide risk from your home entirely, and often qualifies for $6,000–$10,000 in New York and Vermont rebates.
As a Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor ELITE, we can price both options for your home side by side — a new RUUD furnace versus a heat pump — including what each actually costs to run per year. If the furnace is the better fit for your budget or your building, we will install it properly and stand behind it.
Rebates & Financing
Financing is available with 18 months interest-free on qualifying installations, so a failed furnace does not have to become a financial emergency. High-efficiency replacement equipment may qualify for utility rebates, and heat pump installations currently qualify for $6,000–$10,000 in New York and Vermont incentives. We handle the paperwork and show you every option before you commit.

Furnace Repair FAQs
Do you repair furnaces you did not install?
Yes. We repair and maintain gas, propane, and oil furnaces of every major brand throughout our service area, regardless of who installed the system.
How much does a furnace repair cost?
Most common repairs — flame sensors, igniters, capacitors, pressure switches — fall in the low-to-mid hundreds. Major component failures like control boards, blower motors, or heat exchangers cost more. We diagnose first and quote the exact price before any work begins, so you are never surprised.
How fast can you get here for a no-heat call?
We offer 24/7 emergency service, 365 days a year. Loss of heat in an Upstate New York winter is treated as an emergency, not a next-available appointment. Call (518) 719-5614 any time.
How often should a furnace be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in early fall before the heating season starts. Annual service prevents the majority of breakdowns and is required to keep most manufacturer warranties valid.
Is it worth repairing a 15-year-old furnace?
Sometimes. If the repair is inexpensive and the heat exchanger is sound, a repair can buy you several more seasons. But if it is failing repeatedly or the repair approaches a third of replacement cost, replacement usually costs less over the next five years. We will give you both numbers honestly.
What does a furnace tune-up include?
Cleaning the burners and flame sensor, verifying gas pressure and combustion with an analyzer, inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, testing all safety controls and the limit switch, checking the blower and airflow, replacing or checking the filter, and a full carbon monoxide safety check.
My furnace turns on and off repeatedly. What causes that?
Short cycling is most often caused by restricted airflow — a clogged filter or blocked return — an oversized furnace, a failing limit switch, or a thermostat placement issue. It wastes fuel and wears the system, so it is worth diagnosing rather than ignoring.
Do you service oil furnaces?
Yes. We perform oil furnace repair and annual tune-ups including nozzle and filter replacement, electrode setting, pump pressure adjustment, and combustion testing.
