Our furnace repair technicians work on all furnace makes and models. We have experience with gas, electric and high-efficiency units. We take care of these furnace repair issues we see in Calgary homes:
Is your furnace running but your home isn’t warming up? It could be a faulty heat exchanger, a failed ignitor, a tripped limit switch or a blocked air supply. Our technicians find the root cause and repair it accordingly.
Sometimes, a furnace won’t start at all. This problem can often be traced back to a thermostat issue, a tripped circuit breaker, a failed ignition system or a safety lockout triggered by a fault in the system. Before calling, it’s worth checking your thermostat settings and circuit breaker, but if those look fine, our repair technicians find out what’s wrong.
Short cycling is where the furnace turns on and off more often than usual. Common causes are a dirty air filter, a blocked exhaust vent, an oversized unit or a failing flame sensor. Over time, short cycling wears on the system and drives up energy bills.
Banging, rattling, squealing or humming during operation are never good. Banging at startup can indicate delayed ignition, while rattling often points to loose components and squealing is usually a blower belt or motor bearing issue. These problems get more expensive the longer they’re ignored.
Older furnaces with standing pilot lights can have the pilot go out due to drafts, dirt buildup or a failing thermocouple. Newer systems with electronic ignition may develop a faulty ignitor or flame sensor.
Cold air coming from the vents when the furnace is running tends to be an overheating issue caused by restricted airflow, a faulty limit switch or a heat exchanger problem. The furnace could also be in a safety lockout mode. Our HVAC technicians identify and repair the problem accordingly.
As a furnace ages, it costs more to run because it has to work harder to produce heat. Dirty components, a failing heat exchanger, duct leaks or an aging system running past its peak can increase energy bills. A furnace service and repair visit can identify the issue and if replacement makes more sense.
Most people think of furnace repair as a heating problem, but airflow and indoor air quality also make a difference. A furnace lacking air due to a clogged filter or blocked return vent will overheat, short cycle and eventually fail. Poor air circulation causes the system to distribute dust, allergens and other airborne particles throughout your home rather than filtering them out.
Change your air filter regularly (typically every one to three months depending on your household). It’s the best way to extend the life of your furnace and maintain indoor air quality. When our technicians respond to a furnace repair service call, we always check the air filter and air circulation as part of the diagnosis. A blocked air supply explains more furnace faults than most homeowners expect.
Your furnace is part of a wider HVAC system that includes air conditioning, heat pumps and in some Calgary homes, hot water heating systems. When we repair your furnace, we also look at the connected systems.
If you’re running central air conditioning through the same duct system as your furnace, a fault in the furnace can affect air conditioning performance and vice versa. Similarly, heat pump systems that work alongside a furnace for supplemental heating need to be considered together when diagnosing a heating problem. For homes with hot water heating systems or combination systems, our technicians have the experience to service and repair furnace, heat pump, air conditioning and hot water components across the full HVAC setup.

Not every furnace problem is worth repairing. Here’s how to think about it:
Repair Makes Sense When:
Replacement May Be the Better Call When:
Our technicians will give you an honest assessment. If a repair is the best option, we carry it out. If replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll tell you that too. Visit our Calgary furnace installation page for more information on replacement options and pricing.
The price depends on the problem. Minor repairs like a failed ignitor, a thermocouple replacement or a dirty sensor clean can be relatively straightforward. Major repairs involving a heat exchanger, inducer motor or control board cost more, but we are transparent about our pricing so you don’t end up with any surprises on your invoice.
The heat exchanger is typically the most costly furnace repair. As the most important safety component, a cracked heat exchanger can allow combustion gases including carbon monoxide to enter the home. When a heat exchanger fails on an older furnace, replacement is best.
Generally, furnaces last 15 and 20 years with regular maintenance. Well-maintained units that get annual tune-ups, regular filter changes and prompt repairs last longer.
Clogged or dirty air filters cause furnaces to fail the most. A blocked filter restricts airflow, causes the system to overheat and can trigger a safety shutoff. It can also accelerate wear on the blower motor and heat exchanger over time. Check and replace your air filter regularly to prevent unnecessary repair calls.
