Here is the thing. Heating repairs can feel stressful because most people do not know what to expect. Many companies give vague answers. We do not do that.

We explain what failed, why it failed, what your options are, and what the repair will cost before we start. You stay in control the entire time.

Fast scheduling during cold weather

If your heater stops working at night or early in the morning, you cannot wait days to feel warm again. We offer same day or next day appointments during peak heating season.

Warranty backed work

Whenever possible, we provide warranty backed parts and labor. If a part we installed fails during the warranty period, we help make it right.

What We Repair?

Your heating system has many components. One issue can cause the entire unit to shut down or blow cold air. Here is what we diagnose and repair.

Furnace repair

We repair gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and older model furnaces that many companies overlook. This includes burners, ignition systems, blower motors, filters, sensors, and control boards.

Heat pump repair

Heat pumps sometimes struggle in cold weather. We repair refrigerant problems, reversing valves, sensors, and airflow issues that cause poor heat output.

Ignition and burner repair

If your furnace clicks but never lights, it may be a bad igniter or dirty burner assembly. We clean or replace the parts so the system lights safely every time.

Blower motor repair

Weak airflow often comes from a failing blower motor. We replace motors, belts, and bearings to restore airflow and temperature balance.

Pilot light repair

If your pilot light keeps going out, it can be a sensor issue, airflow problem, or gas valve issue. We diagnose the real cause and fix it.

Thermostat repair

Sometimes the problem is not the heater at all. A bad thermostat or loose wiring can stop the system from heating. We repair or replace thermostats and recalibrate their settings.

Limit switch and sensor repair

Safety switches protect your furnace from overheating. If these fail, the entire system shuts down. We replace faulty switches and sensors to restore safe heating operation.

Air handler repair

Heat pump and electric systems rely on air handlers. We repair motors, capacitors, blowers, and wiring.

Carbon monoxide testing

We use digital tools to check for unsafe levels. If there is any risk, we shut the system down and walk you through next steps.

Safety inspection

We run a complete safety check that includes gas lines, burners, heat exchangers, airflow, and electrical components.

Emergency heating repair

If your heater stops working in cold weather, we offer urgent repair appointments.

Common Heater Problems in Petaluma Homes

Here are the issues we see most often in neighborhoods like Oak Hill Brewster, Casa Grande, McNear Park, West Petaluma, and the Lakeville Highway corridor.

Cold air from the vents

This can mean a broken igniter, low airflow, refrigerant issues in heat pumps, or a failed sensor.

Short cycling

When the system turns on and off too often, you lose heat and waste money. Causes include airflow blockages, dirty filters, or overheating.

Strange smells during startup

Dust burning smell is normal, but gas or electrical smells are not. These should be checked immediately.

Weak airflow

Often caused by blower motor problems, clogged filters, or duct issues.

No heat at all

This usually comes from ignition failure, a tripped safety switch, or a bad control board.

Uneven heating

Some rooms stay cold while others feel warm. Duct issues or blower problems are common here.

Rising energy bills

Heaters that struggle to warm your home use more power or gas. Dirty burners, bad sensors, or failing motors can cause this.
