We’ll get you warm again—safely and without surprises.
New smells that don’t clear.
A light dusty odor the first time you run the heat is normal. A persistent burnt, plastic, gassy, or musty smell is not. That can point to electrical issues, venting problems, or moisture in ductwork—time for a professional check.
Unfamiliar noises.
Bangs at start-up, squeals, rattles, or a steady drone usually mean something’s loose, rubbing, or tired. Left alone, small noises turn into big repairs—especially during long, windy cold snaps.
Comfort slipping.
Main floor feels fine but bedrooms trail behind? Furnace runs forever or turns on/off in short bursts? Those are classic signs of airflow trouble, failing parts, or a unit that’s losing performance.
Energy use climbing.
Bills jumping compared to last winter—with the same thermostat habits—often means the system is working harder than it should.
Rust and corrosion.
Surface rust happens with age, but heavy corrosion around burners, cabinets, or the flue can signal venting issues. If corrosion reaches the heat exchanger, that’s a safety concern.
Hard starts or no start.
Clicking without ignition, repeated tries, or needing frequent resets are early warnings of ignition or sensor problems.
Safety note: If a CO detector alarms or you smell gas, get everyone outside and call the utility/911 first. Then call us—we’ll make it safe and sort the fix.
Clogged filter / tight ducts.
Restricted airflow makes rooms feel weak and pushes the furnace to run longer. Swapping the filter helps; we also check returns and key duct runs common in BG ranches and additions.
Thermostat trouble.
Dead batteries, poor placement (direct sun, near a supply), or failed sensors cause overshooting, short-cycling, or no heat. We test, recalibrate, relocate, or replace as needed.
Ignition & flame sensing.
Dirty igniters and sensors make burners light, then quit. You’ll hear clicking or see the unit try multiple starts on cold mornings.
Draft/vent (inducer) issues.
If the vent system can’t pull flue gases out, the furnace shuts itself down. Around here, slushy storms often block sidewall intake/exhaust pipes—we check and clear those first.
Blower motor/capacitor wear.
Air never seems to reach distant rooms, the blower squeals, or there’s a warm “hot motor” smell. Testing tells us whether it’s a simple electrical part or the motor itself.
Heat exchanger damage.
Rare but serious. Warning signs include sooty burners, wavering flames when the blower starts, or CO alerts. Older equipment and years of short-cycling raise the risk. We’ll advise repair vs. replacement honestly.
Set thermostat to HEAT and AUTO; replace batteries if it has them.
Replace a dirty filter and open all supply/return vents.
Make sure outdoor intake/exhaust pipes aren’t blocked by snow, leaves, or ice.
Confirm the breaker/switch for the furnace is on.
If things still feel off, we’ll take it from there.
We arrive with fully stocked trucks and start with the issues Bowling Green homes face most: airflow to far rooms, blocked sidewall vents after messy weather, and systems that struggle on windy nights. You’ll get a clear diagnosis, upfront pricing, and—in most cases—a completed repair in one visit. We service all brands and models and keep the work area clean and code-right.
