Last updated November 5, 2026

Signs you need furnace repair

• Blower pushes cold air through the vents
• Board flashing a fault code
• Rumbling or booming when the burners fire
• Pilot or hot surface igniter not glowing

How the seasons hit 16th Street Heights

Larger homes here take longer to heat and cool, so a weak second system or a failing zone damper shows up as one floor far warmer or colder than the rest during the first real cold snap or heat wave.

How we handle it

We confirm the gas supply and venting are safe, read the fault code, then test the igniter, flame sensor, pressure switch and limit switch in that order. You get the cause and the price before any part comes out of the van.

Larger 16th Street Heights homes often have two furnaces, one for each floor. Note which unit is acting up and whether the other still runs before we arrive.

16th Street Heights homes

16th Street Heights has larger detached and semi-detached colonials and Tudors from the 1920s and 1930s, plus some rowhouses on the side streets.

16th Street Heights furnaces often serve only the lower two floors, with a second system upstairs, so we confirm which unit is actually failing. We test the upstairs and downstairs systems separately so the repair goes to the unit that actually failed.

Pricing

Common furnace parts such as flame sensors, igniters and pressure switches are usually same-visit fixes. You approve the exact price before we begin, at night or during the day.
