Furnace repair in Grand Rapids
Heat back on, with a straight answer about what failed and why.
A furnace usually gives you a warning before it quits: burners that light and shut right back off, a blower that never stops, a room that won't warm up. We test the igniter, flame sensor, pressure switch, gas valve and blower, find the part that failed, and show it to you before we replace anything.
No heat right now? Check that the thermostat is set to heat, the filter isn't packed with dust, and the furnace switch and breaker are on. Still cold? Call (616) 555-0117. If you smell gas, skip all of that. Leave the house and call your gas utility from outside.

Why does my furnace keep turning on and off?
Short cycling usually comes down to a clogged filter, a dirty flame sensor, or a furnace that's overheating and tripping its limit switch. Change the filter first. If it keeps happening, we'll test the sensor and the safeties and find out which one is shutting it down.
Is it worth fixing an older furnace?
Often, yes. An igniter or flame sensor on a 15-year-old furnace is a reasonable repair. A cracked heat exchanger is a different story, because that's a safety problem and the furnace shouldn't run. When it's close, we'll put the repair price and the replacement price side by side.
