Furnace Repair

A furnace spends most of the year doing nothing, then gets asked to perform on the first genuinely cold night. We diagnose every make and model and fix what's actually wrong.

A furnace that hasn't run since March

Around Montgomery County a furnace might only log a couple weeks of real runtime in a whole year. It sits above the attic insulation from spring through most of fall, then gets switched on for the first freeze and is expected to behave like it never stopped. That gap is where most of our repair calls start. A season of dust on the burners smokes off in the first few minutes and can smell alarming even when nothing's actually failing. An igniter that never got exercised sticks or cracks from the strain of finally firing. A flame sensor coated in dust reads a false signal and shuts the whole unit down as a safety measure, not because it's broken. We check those points first on every call, not because they're convenient, but because they're where an idle furnace actually fails.

What we look for on a service call

Short cycling, a burner that won't stay lit, air that never quite gets hot, or a unit that won't turn on at all: we check the ignition system, the flame sensor, the heat exchanger and the blower before we ever quote a repair. A cracked heat exchanger is a safety call, not a repair line item, and we'll say so plainly rather than patch around it. If you ever smell gas, or a burning smell that doesn't clear in a few minutes, shut the furnace down at the thermostat or breaker first and call us after. That's the same thing we'd tell one of our own.

Jack Gordon & Sons, Texas License #TACLB016624E, open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, for exactly this kind of call.

Signs worth a call before the furnace is asked to work hard

None of these mean the system is done for. They mean it's worth a look now, while it's an appointment, instead of later, when it's an emergency.

  • Making a noise it didn't used to make
  • Cycling on and off more often than it should
  • Running, but the house never quite gets warm
  • Airflow that feels weak at the vents
  • The energy bill climbing without a clear reason
  • Not turning on at all

Questions we get about furnace repair

Furnace repair, answered plainly

That's usually dust that settled on the burners over the spring and summer, burning off in the first few minutes. It should clear on its own quickly. If the smell lingers, gets stronger, or you smell gas instead of dust, shut the unit down at the thermostat or breaker and call us.

That depends on the age of the system and what's actually wrong with it, and we'll give you an honest answer either way. If a repair no longer makes sense, we'll also give you a free estimate and a free second opinion before you decide anything.

Yes. We service and repair every make and model, not only the equipment we sell. A repair call never depends on which brand is sitting in your attic.
