A furnace that won't ignite, short-cycles, or keeps tripping its limit switch needs more than a reset in Tahoe City winters. Every visit includes a carbon monoxide safety check, standard, not an upsell.
A short list of components causes most Furnace Repair calls: ignitor, flame sensor, gas valve, heat exchanger. We test with real equipment, not parts-cannon guessing.
What doesn't change from visit to visit.
Every repair includes a CO check, not optional.
No-heat calls in Tahoe City get priority routing over routine work during cold snaps when it's cold.
A fixed price is set before repairs start.
Our techs are trained equally on gas furnaces and electric heat strips, no exceptions.
Six repairs that cover most of our winter calls.
Cracked ignitors and carbon-fouled sensors cause a large share of no-heat calls, usually a same-visit fix.
Gas valve testing confirms the fault before we recommend replacing it.
We inspect carefully with proper equipment rather than assuming based on age.
Short-cycling or mid-cycle shutdowns often trace to the limit switch or a struggling blower before condemning the control board.
We still service older standing-pilot systems that newer ignition doesn't have.
We rule out wiring issues first to avoid overcharging for parts you don't need.
What happens from your call to heat restored.
Tell us what the furnace is doing and we'll get someone moving.
A stocked truck arrives ready to diagnose and often repair same visit.
Combustion analysis happens before any repair is quoted, then a flat-rate quote.
We re-check CO before signing off, backed by warranty.
