Furnace Repair in Cheney
When your furnace stops heating, we find the real cause and fix it safely. Every repair visit includes a check for gas leaks and carbon monoxide. You see a written price before we start, and nothing gets done until you say yes.
What a Furnace Repair Visit Covers
A furnace that runs fine for years can quit on the first cold night. Usually it is a small part: a dirty flame sensor, a failed igniter, a stuck pressure switch, a worn blower motor. Sometimes it is something more serious, like a cracked heat exchanger that can leak carbon monoxide into your home.
We treat every furnace like it burns gas in your living space, because most do. So we test before we touch parts, and we test again after the repair. If something is unsafe, we tell you plainly and shut it down rather than leave you with a risk.
We work on gas and electric furnaces in Cheney and nearby towns like Medical Lake, Airway Heights and Spokane. If your system is a heat pump with a furnace backup, we handle that too.
What's Included When We Repair Your Furnace
- 01
Full diagnosis
We check ignition, flame, airflow, controls and the thermostat to find why the furnace stopped. We show you what we found, with photos if it helps.
- 02
Gas and CO safety check
We test for gas leaks at the furnace connections and measure carbon monoxide at the unit and in the air near it. This happens on every repair visit, not just when something looks wrong.
- 03
Heat exchanger inspection
A cracked heat exchanger can let exhaust mix with the air you breathe. We look for cracks, rust and scorch marks and tell you what we see.
- 04
Venting and draft check
Exhaust has to leave your home. We check the flue or PVC vent for blockages, loose joints and proper draft. Snow and ice on side-wall vents are a common winter problem.
- 05
Written quote first
Before any repair, you get a written quote. You decide. No surprise parts or labor on the bill.
- 06
Test run and cleanup
After the fix we run the furnace through full cycles, recheck for gas and CO, and clean up the work area.
Questions about Furnace Repair?
Call(509) 309-8324When Your Furnace Needs Fixing
Cold air or no heat
The fan blows but the air isn't warm, or the furnace does nothing. Ignition trouble or a tripped safety switch is often behind it.
Shuts off too soon
It fires up, runs for a minute or two, then stops. A dirty flame sensor or an overheating furnace is a frequent cause.
Unusual odors
A faint dusty smell the first time it runs in fall is expected. A rotten-egg odor is not. If you smell gas, get out of the house, call 911 or your gas utility from outside, and then call us.
The CO alarm sounds
Take it seriously. Get everyone out, call 911 and keep the furnace off until someone has checked it.
New or louder sounds
A bang when it starts, squealing or grinding tends to mean delayed ignition or a blower motor going bad. Neither improves on its own.
Flame that's yellow or wavering
A good gas flame burns blue and steady. A weak yellow flame can signal poor combustion and higher carbon monoxide.
How a Repair Visit Goes
- 1
You call us
Tell us what the furnace is doing. If anything sounds unsafe, we walk you through shutting it off before we arrive. We take furnace calls 24/7.
- 2
We test and diagnose
We start with safety: gas, CO and venting. Then we track down the failed part and explain it in plain words.
- 3
You approve the quote
You get a written quote with the repair and the price. If the furnace is near the end of its life, we tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
- 4
We fix and verify
We make the repair, run the furnace through several heating cycles and recheck for gas and CO before we leave.
What Sets the Price of a Furnace Repair
Most repairs come down to one part plus the time to put it in properly. The price is written out for you to approve before any tool comes out. If we do the repair, your diagnostic fee is taken off the bill.
- Which part broke
- Igniters and flame sensors cost much less than a blower motor, control board or gas valve. Heat exchanger trouble tends to be the most expensive.
- Age and make of the furnace
- Older or uncommon furnaces can have parts that are tough to track down, which can change whether fixing it is still worthwhile.
- Getting to the unit
- Safe work on a furnace squeezed into a crawlspace or small attic takes longer than on one in an open garage or basement.
- Vent and safety repairs
- A blocked or damaged vent, or a gas connection that has to be redone, adds to the work. We show it as its own line so you can see it.
Questions About Furnace Repair
Will a night or weekend visit cost more?
No. We don't add emergency or after-hours fees. A furnace that quits at 2 a.m. in January costs the same to fix as one that quits on a weekday afternoon.
Can I run my furnace until you arrive?
It depends on the problem. Shut it off and leave it off if you smell gas, the CO alarm sounds, or you see scorch marks or flame outside the burner area. For smaller trouble like short cycling, we'll tell you on the phone whether it's fine to keep running.
Is repair or replacement the better choice?
A small fault on a furnace in good shape is worth repairing. A cracked heat exchanger, or an older unit that keeps breaking, usually points to replacement. We give you a straight answer, and if a new furnace is the better move, the installation estimate is free.
What can I check before calling?
A few quick checks can save you a visit. Confirm the thermostat is on heat, not cool or off, and put in fresh batteries if it takes them. Find the furnace power switch, often on a wall close by, and look for a tripped breaker in the panel. Pull the filter too. One that is gray and caked with dust can overheat the furnace and trip its safety limit.
Can you fix electric furnaces?
Yes, we repair both gas and electric furnaces. Electric units don't produce CO, but we still look over the wiring, heating elements and breakers for signs of heat damage.
Get Your Heat Back On Safely
Tell us what your furnace is doing and we will sort out the next step with you. Nothing gets repaired until you have seen the price on paper and said yes.
