Albuquerque furnace & heating repair
We've been the after-hours number for Albuquerque-area homeowners and a few local property managers since 2019. Calls go to a real person. Plain-spoken estimates, written quotes, no surprise add-ons mid-job. That's the whole pitch.
What's specific about Albuquerque jobs
Our techs know the Albuquerque area: housing stock, soil, water main configurations, the parts that usually fail first.
A recent furnace & heating repair call
Property manager call, Albuquerque-area duplex. Both units had furnace clicking but not igniting. We pulled the system apart and found failed hot surface ignitor. Replaced ignitor, system back online in 30 minutes on the same trip — both tenants happy. $340.
What this service includes
Heating-side repairs run different than AC. Most furnace calls come down to ignitor failure, flame sensor, control board, or pressure switch. Heat pumps add reversing valve and defrost board.
Gas furnace ignitor failures are the most common winter call — about 40% of no-heat calls. The ignitor is a $35 part and a 20-minute job; total flat-rate runs $185-$340.
Heat pump no-heat in cold weather usually means failed reversing valve solenoid (system stuck in cool mode) or failed defrost board (outdoor coil iced up). Both diagnoseable in under an hour.
Older furnaces (15+ years) develop heat exchanger cracks. We check for them every diagnostic visit because a cracked heat exchanger leaks carbon monoxide and is a replacement-not-repair issue.
Price expectations
Diagnostic visit runs $90 – $130. Hot surface ignitor replacement runs $185 – $340. Flame sensor replacement runs $165 – $295. Pressure switch replacement runs $220 – $420. Control board replacement runs $420 – $850. Heat exchanger replacement runs $1,800 – $3,400.
