Heating System Repair and Installation

Everything You Need to Know

Heating failures usually trace back to a handful of causes, and the symptom points the way. A furnace that won't ignite often means a faulty igniter, a dirty flame sensor, or a gas-supply or thermostat issue. Weak or lukewarm airflow can be a clogged filter, a failing blower motor, or a cracked heat exchanger tripping the safety limit. Short cycling — turning on and off repeatedly — is commonly a dirty flame sensor, a thermostat fault, or overheating. Heat pumps that won't heat may have low refrigerant, a failed reversing valve, or a frozen outdoor coil. Loud banging, rattling, or a persistent gas smell should never be ignored. We run a full diagnostic — ignition, heat exchanger, gas pressure, airflow, and safety controls — so we fix the true cause and keep your family safe and warm.

When you call Shalom Heating & Air, a licensed technician arrives on time and begins with a complete safety inspection and diagnostic of your whole system, not just the obvious symptom. We check the igniter, flame sensor, heat exchanger, gas pressure, blower, thermostat, and safety controls. Once we've found the fault, you get a clear, flat-rate quote up front and approve the price before any work starts — no hourly surprises. Because our trucks carry the most common furnace and heat-pump parts, most repairs are finished the same visit. Before we leave, we verify safe ignition, proper temperature rise, and correct cycling so your heat is genuinely restored.

Heating repair cost depends on the part and the labor involved. Minor repairs like an igniter, flame sensor, thermostat, or capacitor sit at the lower end, while heat exchanger, blower motor, or heat-pump compressor work costs more due to parts and time. The age and type of your system matter too — an older furnace or a heat pump low on refrigerant can cost more to service. Instead of an open-ended hourly rate, we give you a flat-rate quote after the diagnostic, so you know the full cost before we begin, and financing is available on larger repairs and installations.

Not every heating problem is worth fixing, and we'll tell you honestly which way to go. Repair usually makes sense when your furnace or heat pump is under about 15 years old and the fix costs less than roughly a third of a new system. Replacement is often smarter when the system is 15 or more years old, has a cracked heat exchanger, needs a major component, or has required repeated repairs. A newer high-efficiency furnace or heat pump can also lower your energy bills enough to offset much of the cost over time — and heat-pump rebates may apply. We lay out the real numbers so you can decide with full information, not a sales pitch.

A furnace that quits on a cold night can't wait. That's why we offer same-day and emergency heating repair across our service area, getting a technician to your home or business quickly to restore safe, reliable heat. If you ever smell gas, leave the area and call your gas utility first, then call us. For a no-heat call, reach out early in the day for the best chance at a same-day appointment.

Our technicians repair and install every major heating brand — including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and American Standard — along with Mitsubishi and other ductless mini-split heat pumps. From gas furnaces and heat pumps to ductless systems, we service residential and light commercial equipment of all makes and ages, so whatever you have installed, we can keep it running safely and efficiently.
