Common Furnace & Heating Problems We Repair
Below are some of the common heating repair calls we handle:

Our Furnace Repair Process
Here's what happens when you call Bay Area Climate Control for furnace repair:
Scheduling & Arrival (Same-Day Available)
Call (510) 391-5597 for same-day furnace repair service. We prioritize emergency heating calls and work to schedule you as quickly as possible. We confirm the time and give you a heads-up when our technician is on the way.
Our technician arrives in a marked vehicle, introduces themselves, and listens to what's happening with your system before getting started.
Detailed System Diagnostic
We perform a thorough diagnostic to identify the real problem. This includes:
- • Checking thermostat settings and wiring
- • Inspecting the furnace cabinet and flue vent
- • Testing safeties and limit switches
- • Testing the ignition system (hot surface igniter, pilot assembly, etc.)
- • Inspecting burners and flame sensor
- • Checking the blower motor, capacitor, and fan
- • Inspecting the air filter and return air ductwork
- • Testing electrical components (control board, relays, etc.)
- • Measuring voltage and amp draw
- • Checking for gas leaks (if applicable)
- • Listening for unusual sounds or smells
The goal is to pinpoint exactly why your system failed, not just guess or replace parts randomly.
Clear Explanation & Upfront Pricing
We explain the problem in plain language — not HVAC jargon — and show you the worn or failed part if we can.
Then we outline your repair options and give you upfront pricing before starting any work. No hidden fees or surprise charges later.
If it looks like repair doesn't make financial sense (for example, if your system is old or the repair is expensive), we'll tell you that, too. We want you to make the decision that's right for your situation.
Professional Repair & Testing
Once you approve the repair, we:
- • Complete the work according to manufacturer requirements and local codes
- • Replace the faulty part(s) with quality components
- • Verify that the system fires, heats, and shuts down correctly
- • Check temperature rise and airflow
- • Confirm that the system cycles properly and operates safely
- • Clean up our work area
Before we leave, we review what we did and answer any questions you have.
Don't Ignore These Furnace Warning Signs
Call for heater repair if you notice:
Booming or banging when it starts
Could indicate delayed ignition or dirty burners
Squealing or screeching sounds
Often a blower motor or belt issue
Burning or electrical smell
Shut the system down and call immediately
Frequent cycling on and off
May indicate airflow, flame sensor, or sizing issues
Cool air from vents when heat is on
Ignition, gas valve, or air handler problem
Unusually high heating bills
System running inefficiently and needs service
Yellow burner flame (should be blue)
Could indicate carbon monoxide risk — call immediately
Safety Warning:
If you suspect a gas leak or carbon monoxide issue, leave your home immediately and call local authorities from a safe location. Then contact us for furnace repair once it's safe.
Same-Day & Priority Furnace Repair in the Bay Area
We offer same-day furnace repair whenever possible and emergency service when needed. We prioritize service calls for:
- Homes with elderly residents, kids, or medical needs
- Complete loss of heat during cold weather
- Suspected safety concerns (gas smell, carbon monoxide)
If we need a specialty part that isn't on the truck, we'll give you options — either order the part and stabilize your system in the meantime, provide a temporary solution, or discuss replacement if that makes more sense. Either way, you'll have a clear plan before we leave.
Furnace Maintenance to Prevent Future Repairs
The best way to avoid an unexpected breakdown is regular furnace maintenance. A tune-up before or at the start of heating season lets us spot issues before they turn into expensive repairs, such as:
- Weak igniters starting to fail
- Flame sensors getting covered in soot
- Heat exchangers developing corrosion or small cracks
- Clogged filters reducing airflow and efficiency
- Early signs of blower motor or control board failure
Annual furnace maintenance also keeps your system running efficiently, which lowers your heating bills and extends the life of your equipment.
Repair vs. Replacement - We'll Help You Decide
We Usually Recommend Repair If:
- Your furnace is under 12-15 years old
- The problem is relatively minor (igniter, flame sensor, blower motor, etc.)
- The unit has been maintained and is in otherwise decent condition
We May Recommend Replacement If:
- Your furnace is 15-25+ years old
- The heat exchanger is cracked (a safety issue)
- You've had multiple repairs in recent years
- Multiple major components are failing (control board, blower motor, gas valve, etc.)
- Your system is very inefficient (60-70% AFUE or lower)
We compare repair costs to replacement costs and explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision.

Furnace Repair FAQs
Do you charge a diagnostic fee?
Yes. We charge for the time and expertise required to inspect your furnace, identify the problem, and explain your options. You'll get clear pricing before we begin any further work.
How long does a furnace repair usually take?
Most common repairs (igniter, flame sensor, blower motor, etc.) can be completed in one visit, typically within 1-3 hours. If we need to order a specialty part, we'll give you an estimated timeline and a plan to keep you warm in the meantime.
Can you repair any brand of furnace?
We service most major furnace and heating brands found in the Bay Area, including gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pump systems. If you have an older or unusual system, we'll do our best to repair it or recommend a suitable solution.
What if my furnace keeps shutting off?
Frequent cycling can have several causes:
- • Overheating due to restricted airflow (dirty filter, blocked vents)
- • Failing flame sensor causing the system to shut down for safety
- • High-limit switch tripping due to airflow or heat exchanger issues
- • Incorrect thermostat settings or wiring
- • Furnace is oversized for your home or duct system
We'll diagnose the real cause and advise on the right fix.
Is it safe to run my furnace if something seems wrong?
If you notice loud noises, burning or gas smells, or suspect a safety problem, it's best to turn the furnace off and call for service. Don't take chances with your family's safety.
