Top-rated independent heating and cooling across California's Central Valley and the Sierra foothills
Gas Furnace Repair
We repair gas furnaces in homes across California and Nevada, from a unit that lights and quits to one that runs and never gets warm. If your gas furnace is short cycling, blowing cool air, tripping its breaker, or refusing to fire on a cold morning, that is gas furnace repair work and it needs a technician. If you smell gas at any point, leave the building first, then call 911 or your gas utility from outside, and call us after. Otherwise, check your thermostat batteries and settings, look for a tripped breaker, and put in a fresh filter, then book a visit.

Whether you call it gas furnace repair or gas heater repair, the work is identical and so is the quote you approve first.
What a gas furnace repair visit involves
We start with what the furnace is actually doing, so tell us what you heard and when it stopped. From there we watch a full heating cycle: call for heat, inducer, ignition, flame, blower, and shutdown. Most failures show themselves somewhere in that sequence. We read the control board diagnostics, check gas pressure and airflow, and look at the heat exchanger. Then we tell you the failed part, what caused it, and whether repair or replacement makes better sense for the age of the unit.
What we check on the unit
Common culprits are the igniter, flame sensor, pressure switch, inducer motor, limit switch, gas valve, and control board. A dirty flame sensor will light the burners and drop them seconds later, which homeowners usually describe as the heater teasing them. We also check filters, return airflow, and duct static, because a starved furnace overheats and trips its limit again and again. On attic and package equipment we inspect the flue, condensate path, and blower wheel while we are up there.
How we decide repair is the right call
We weigh the age of the furnace, the cost of the failed part, and the condition of the heat exchanger and blower. A ten year old unit with a bad igniter is a straightforward repair. A furnace with a cracked heat exchanger is a safety problem and gets shut down, not patched. If the same part has failed twice, we look upstream for the real cause, usually airflow or a wiring fault. You get both options in plain language before we touch anything.

My gas furnace lights then shuts off after a few seconds. What is wrong?
Usually a dirty or failing flame sensor, sometimes a flue or pressure switch problem. The furnace proves flame, loses the signal, and closes the gas valve on purpose. It is a repair visit, not a homeowner fix.
Should I keep resetting the breaker to get heat?
No. Resetting once is reasonable. If it trips again, stop and call us. Repeated trips mean a motor, board, or wiring fault that gets worse and can become a fire risk.
I smell gas near my furnace. What do I do?
Leave the building immediately, take everyone with you, and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Do not flip switches or restart anything. Once they clear the home, call us for the repair.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form. We ask what changed, when it started, and what the thermostat reads. That tells us whether to bring parts for a cooling fault or a heating fault.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, the electrical side, airflow through the filter and coil, refrigerant pressures, and the outdoor unit. You get told what failed and why, in plain words, before anything is replaced.
- Step 3
Repair and verify
We make the repair, then run the system and measure the results at the vents. If a part needs ordering, we say so and give you a realistic window instead of a vague promise.

Why homeowners call us
- Built for real valley heatWe work in areas where afternoons sit above 110 degrees and systems run for months without a break. That shapes how we size repairs, check capacitors and contactors, and judge whether a compressor is genuinely done.
- Attic and package unitsPlenty of homes across the region run attic air handlers or rooftop package units instead of a garage furnace and a side-yard condenser. We are used to the access, the duct runs, and the drain issues those setups bring.
- Dust and debris we expectAg dust, cottonwood fluff and grass clippings pack condenser coils and starve a system of airflow. We clean what we find and show you the difference, rather than adding refrigerant to a unit that just could not breathe.
- Heating too, not only ACFurnace repair, heat pump faults and no-heat calls get the same attention as summer work. Ignition problems, cracked or failing components and short cycling all get diagnosed before we recommend anything larger.
