Heat pump or furnace? That is the first thing that matters when the heat quits in Cary, NC, because the two fail in completely different ways. Heat pumps tend to ice over when defrost stops working, get stuck in cooling when a reversing valve fails, or quietly lean on the electric backup strips, at several times the normal operating cost, when the outdoor unit dies. Gas furnaces typically come down to the flame sensor: once oxide coats it, the burners light but the flame cannot be proven, so the board cuts the gas and locks out after three tries. After that, the usual suspects are cracked hot surface igniters, stuck pressure switches, clogged condensate traps on high-efficiency models, and blower motors at the end of their life.
The repair homeowners call us about most is Furnace Repair. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
