Common Furnace Problems
A malfunctioning furnace is a serious safety concern. If you notice any of these signs, turn your unit off and call our professionals immediately.
Blowing Cold Air
This often points to a malfunctioning limit switch, a dirty flame sensor, or an extinguished pilot light preventing burner ignition. This is one of the most common calls we get in San Jose during the first cold snap of the season, especially in homes with furnaces older than 10-15 years.
Strange Noises
Squealing, banging, or rumbling sounds indicate mechanical wear, such as a failing blower motor or loose internal components.
Yellow Burner Flame
A healthy gas flame should be crisp and blue. A flickering yellow flame indicates a dangerous mix of gas and oxygen, potentially creating carbon monoxide.
Short Cycling
If your furnace turns on and shuts off rapidly without heating your home, it is overheating, usually due to a severely clogged air filter. Left unaddressed, short cycling shortens the lifespan of your blower motor significantly and can raise your gas or electric bill by 15-20%.

Furnace Repair FAQs
Repair costs vary widely depending on the issue. Replacing a simple flame sensor or capacitor is relatively inexpensive, while replacing a control board or draft inducer motor costs more. We always provide a flat-rate, upfront quote before any work begins so there are no surprises.
A burning dust smell is very common the first time you turn on your heater for the season, as it burns off settled dust. However, if the smell persists for more than a day, smells like burning plastic, or smells like rotten eggs (gas leak), shut the system off immediately and call us.
First, check your thermostat to ensure the fan is set to 'Auto' rather than 'On'. If it's set correctly, the issue could be an unlit pilot light, a dirty flame sensor preventing the burners from igniting, or a triggered limit switch. This requires professional diagnosis.
A cracked heat exchanger is extremely dangerous as it leaks carbon monoxide. Signs include soot buildup inside the furnace, a yellow (rather than blue) burner flame, or your home's CO detectors going off. Only a professional inspection can confirm a crack, which typically requires a full furnace replacement for safety.
