  • Abnormal Sounds: Unusual noises from your furnace may indicate underlying problems.
  • Burner Issues: If burners won’t stay lit or produce inadequate heat, we’ll investigate and fix the root cause.
  • Blower Problems: Lack of airflow or a blower that won’t turn off requires professional attention.
