Furnace and Heating Repair, Installation and Replacement
When the furnace won't come on, or it lights and quits a few seconds later, the cause is usually one of a handful of parts. We repair, replace and tune up furnaces across MD, DC and Northern Virginia, and a heating call goes on the next day's schedule.
Heating work we do
Most no-heat calls come down to the ignitor, the flame sensor, a pressure switch, the inducer motor or the control board, and a heating visit checks every one of them. A dirty flame sensor turns up a lot, and it's a cheap fix.

Furnace Repair
The heat won't come on, or it comes on and shuts down a few seconds later.
Furnace Installation
The house needs a new heating system, and another repair won't get it there.
Furnace Replacement
The furnace has failed again, or it failed in a way that can't be repaired safely.
Furnace Maintenance
We check the heat before the cold arrives, safety checks included.
The idea behind this work
The balance point
This is the outdoor temperature where a heat pump stops being the cheapest way to heat your house and the backup heat takes over. Set it right and the backup runs a few nights a year. Set it wrong and it runs all winter, and the electric bill shows it.
Start with what heats your house

The furnace will not light on the first cold night.
That's when furnaces usually fail, after sitting all summer. A fall check covers the cleaning and the safety inspection. See HVAC maintenance.
A cheap part sold as an expensive one.
A dirty flame sensor is one of the most common no-heat calls, and it's a cheap fix. We tell you the visit fee on the phone. At the house you see the failed part and hear the price before any work starts.
You're not sure the furnace is safe.
On every heating visit we check the heat exchanger, the flue and the combustion air, at no extra charge. If a CO alarm goes off, get everyone outside and call the gas company before you call us.
Nobody comes while the house gets colder.
Tell us there's no heat when you call. We book you for the next day and text you the window. If you call after 7:00 PM, we call back the next morning.
When heating fails around DC
Heating demand rises with the first cold snap and stays up December through February. October and November nights are the first real test for a furnace that's been off since spring. See why a furnace blows cold air.
