Furnace & Heating Repair services in Louisville
Most Louisville furnace & heating repair jobs we see fall into 3 or 4 categories — common stuff, common fixes. Less of a mystery than the marketing makes it seem. Three things you can count on: we show up when we say we will, we quote before we work, and we don't pad the bill.
What we cover
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.
