Igniters and flame sensors
The most common no-heat call. A cracked hot surface igniter or a dirty flame sensor stops the burners from lighting or staying lit.

A warm house again, without the runaround
Spokane furnaces work hard. Between November and March, a typical system here runs for hours every day, and a single worn part can leave a family without heat overnight. That's why we built our furnace service around three things: getting to you quickly, finding the real cause, and telling you the price in plain numbers before we pick up a tool.
Our technicians repair natural gas, propane and electric furnaces, including high-efficiency condensing models. We carry the most common parts on the truck, so many repairs are finished during the first visit. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you how long it will take and, when it's safe to do so, get you some heat in the meantime.
What a furnace repair visit includes
Every visit starts with a full diagnostic, not a guess. We check the ignition sequence, burners, flame sensor, blower, filter, venting and safety controls, then measure temperature rise and airflow so we can confirm the fix actually worked. You get a clear explanation of what failed and why, along with honest advice on whether that problem is likely to come back.
Safety comes first
A furnace burns fuel inside your home, so we never skip the safety checks. We inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, test the venting and check for carbon monoxide at the appliance. If we find something unsafe, we show you exactly what we found and explain your options. We will never pressure you into a new system, but we also won't leave a dangerous furnace running.
Warning signs
Signs your furnace needs repair
Furnaces usually give a warning before they fail completely. Catching these early often turns an emergency into a simple, lower-cost repair.
- Cold air from the vents while the furnace is running, or heat that never quite reaches the thermostat setting.
- Short cycling, where the furnace turns on and off every few minutes instead of running steady cycles.
- New noises like banging on startup, squealing, rattling or a loud hum from the blower.
- A furnace that won't ignite, clicks repeatedly, or lights and then shuts off after a few seconds.
- Heating bills climbing faster than your usage or gas rates would explain.
- Uneven heat, with some rooms warm and others that never get comfortable.
- A yellow or flickering burner flame instead of a steady blue one, or soot around the furnace.
- A burning or gas smell. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility first, then call us.
What we fix
The furnace repairs we handle most
These are the problems we see most often in Spokane-area homes. Most are fixed in a single visit.
Blower motors and capacitors
If the burners light but little air comes out, the blower motor, capacitor or belt is usually the cause. We test each part before replacing anything.
Inducer motors and pressure switches
These safety parts confirm the furnace is venting properly. When one fails, the furnace locks itself out to protect you.
Control boards and wiring
Error codes, erratic cycling and furnaces that do nothing at all often trace back to a control board or a loose connection.
Gas valves and safety limits
We diagnose and replace gas valves, limit switches and rollout switches, the parts that keep your furnace from overheating.
Thermostat problems
Sometimes the furnace is fine and the thermostat isn't. We check the controls first so you never pay for a repair you didn't need. Thermostat service

Repair or replace?
We'll tell you honestly when a repair isn't worth it
Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years. If yours is near that age and needing frequent repairs, putting that money toward a new, more efficient furnace often makes more sense. We lay out both options side by side, and if a repair is the smarter move, we'll say so.

A fall furnace tune-up pays for itself
Most of the emergency calls we take in winter could have been caught during a routine tune-up. A yearly check keeps your furnace running efficiently, extends its life and helps protect your manufacturer warranty.
The best time to book is September or October, before the first real cold snap and before schedules fill up. See our maintenance plans.
Our furnace tune-up checklist
- Inspect the heat exchanger and test for carbon monoxide
- Clean the burners and flame sensor
- Test the igniter, gas pressure and safety limits
- Check the blower motor, capacitor and wheel
- Inspect venting, drain lines and electrical connections
- Replace or check the filter and calibrate the thermostat
- Measure temperature rise and airflow

Furnace repair FAQ
Common furnace questions
Have a question that isn't here? Call (509) 410-0769 and ask a real person.
We offer 24/7 emergency service, and most repair calls are scheduled the same day or the next morning. When temperatures drop and the phones get busy, we prioritize homes with no heat, especially those with young children, elderly family members or medical needs.
It depends on what failed. Simple fixes like cleaning a flame sensor cost far less than replacing a blower motor or control board. That's why we diagnose first and give you a firm price before any work begins, so you can decide with the real number in front of you.
The most common causes are a failed igniter or dirty flame sensor, a clogged filter causing the furnace to overheat and shut down, a thermostat set to Fan On instead of Auto, or a problem with the gas supply. Check the thermostat and filter first. If that doesn't fix it, give us a call.
Yes. We service and repair all major furnace brands, including Lennox, Bosch, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Rheem, York and more, whether the furnace runs on natural gas, propane or electricity.
Some noises are harmless, but loud bangs at startup, grinding or screeching can point to delayed ignition or a failing motor. If the noise is new and loud, or you smell gas or burning, turn the furnace off and call us. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility first.
Once a year, ideally in early fall. A yearly tune-up keeps the furnace efficient, catches worn parts before they fail and is often required to keep the manufacturer's warranty valid.
Consider replacement if your furnace is 15 years or older, needs frequent repairs, has a cracked heat exchanger or your energy bills keep climbing. A good rule of thumb: if a repair costs more than half the price of a new furnace, replacement usually makes more sense. We'll give you honest numbers for both.
