When a furnace won't light, keeps shutting off, or the limit switch keeps tripping, resetting it doesn't fix the cause. Every Furnace Repair visit includes a carbon monoxide safety check as a standard part of the job, not an upsell.
A short list of components causes the overwhelming majority of Furnace Repair calls: the ignitor, the flame sensor, the gas valve, or the heat exchanger. We test each with a multimeter and combustion analyzer rather than replacing parts on a hunch.
What doesn't change from visit to visit.
A CO safety check with a combustion analyzer is part of every visit, not an optional add-on.
We bump no-heat calls ahead of routine work when temperatures drop, especially in peak winter.
Ignitor or heat exchanger, the price is quoted and approved before work begins.
Our techs are equally trained on gas furnaces and electric resistance systems, so the fuel type never determines who gets sent.
The most common furnace failure points.
Cracked ignitors and carbon-fouled flame sensors account for a large share of no-heat calls, and both are usually same-visit fixes.
We test gas valve response and pressure output rather than replacing an expensive part on a hunch, since these parts are costly enough to warrant confirming the fault first.
Because a cracked heat exchanger can leak combustion byproducts into the home's air, we inspect it carefully with a scope and analyzer rather than assuming based on age alone.
A furnace that short-cycles or shuts down mid-cycle often points to a tripped limit switch or failing blower — we test both before condemning the control board.
Older furnaces with standing pilots have their own failure points — thermocouples, pilot orifices, draft issues — that we're equipped to handle that newer ignition systems don't have.
Zero response from the furnace can mean a wiring fault or thermostat issue rather than the furnace itself — we rule this out early to avoid overcharging for parts you don't need.
Four steps, safety checked at every one.
Tell us what the furnace is doing and we'll route the closest technician.
A stocked truck arrives in your confirmed window ready to diagnose and often repair on the spot.
Combustion analysis and component testing happen before any repair is quoted, then present a flat-rate quote for your approval.
Repairs typically wrap same visit, and we re-check CO levels before signing off, backed by our labor warranty.
Feedback from completed furnace repairs.
Furnace kept shutting off every twenty minutes. Their technician found a dirty flame sensor and cleaned it, been running fine for two months now.

They caught a hairline crack in the heat exchanger during a routine repair call and walked me through the safety concern honestly, not to upsell.
— V. Ashworth, homeowner
No heat during the coldest week of the year, they got someone out same day and had it fixed within an hour, ignitor replacement.
— Q. Delrio, homeowner
Old standing pilot furnace that most companies don't want to touch anymore. They knew exactly what they were doing, thermocouple was the issue.

What Rochester customers ask most.
A furnace that clicks or hums but never lights is a strong sign of an ignitor issue, but we confirm with a resistance test before quoting.
Yes — it can allow combustion gases to mix with breathing air, which is why we test carefully and won't run the furnace if confirmed cracked, so we take the inspection seriously and won't operate a confirmed-cracked unit.
Yes, a combustion analyzer reading is part of every Furnace Repair service, included in the visit, no extra charge.
Yes — our techs are trained on thermocouples, pilot orifices, and draft diagnostics for older systems, including thermocouple and draft-related repairs.
We prioritize no-heat situations, usually landing a same-day slot even during high-demand cold weather.
Most common parts — ignitors, flame sensors, control boards — are stocked, but rare parts may need next-day ordering to complete the repair.
