Known as short cycling, a furnace that is constantly starting and stopping instead of turning on and completing its cycle most likely demands repair from an expert HVAC technician like the team members at Home Comfort.

Furnace Repair Frequently Asked Questions

Common signs include cold spots, new or loud sounds coming from the unit, frequent cycling, odd smells when the heat runs, or higher-than-expected heating costs. If your system struggles to maintain temperature, it’s smart to have a technician inspect it.

If you suspect a gas leak or a CO detector alerts, shut the system down, get to fresh air, and contact emergency services and your HVAC company. For minor symptoms, it’s often okay to run it briefly, but continued operation can worsen the damage.
This can happen due to thermostat settings, restricted airflow, ignition issues, a dirty flame sensor, or overheating that triggers a safety limit. A technician can pinpoint the cause and recommend the right fix.
Many repairs can be completed in a single appointment, but the timeline depends on the issue, system accessibility, and parts availability. After diagnosing the problem, your technician can outline next steps and timing.
A furnace may be a better candidate for replacement if it needs frequent repairs, is older and inefficient, or has major component issues. If the problem is isolated and the system has been well maintained, repair is often the most practical route. A pro can help you compare options.
