Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair
Call for furnace repair if you notice any of these:
No heat or not enough heat. The furnace runs but rooms stay cold, or some rooms are much colder than others.
The furnace short-cycles. It turns on and off every few minutes without reaching the set temperature.
Strange noises. Banging, squealing, scraping or rattling usually points to a failing blower motor, belt or loose component.
Burning or gas smells. A brief dusty smell at the start of the season is normal. A persistent burning or rotten-egg smell is not. If you smell gas, leave the home and call your gas utility first.
Ignition problems. Clicking without lighting, or a burner that lights and shuts off, often means a dirty flame sensor or failing igniter.
Rising heating bills. A sudden jump with no change in use means the system is working harder than it should.
Carbon monoxide alarm. Leave the home, call 911, and do not run the furnace until it has been inspected.

What Does Furnace Repair Cost in Chicago?
Furnace repairs in the Chicago area can fall between a couple hundred dollars and several thousand dollars, depending on the part and the furnace. Simple fixes like a flame sensor cleaning cost less; a blower motor or control board costs more.
You'll always know the price first. Our $29 no-heat diagnosis finds the problem, and your technician gives you a flat, by-the-job price before starting work. No hourly billing, no surprises. Ultimate Advantage Club members get discounted repair pricing and no service call charge during regular hours.
Repair or Replace Your Furnace?
We'll always tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense. Replacement is usually worth considering when:
The furnace is 15 to 20 years old or older
The repair costs more than half the price of a new furnace
You've needed several repairs in the last two years
Heating bills keep climbing despite maintenance
If replacement is the better value, we'll show you options and financing, and our furnace replacement team will walk you through the next steps.

What to Check Before You Call
A few quick checks can save you a service call:
Make sure the thermostat is set to Heat and a few degrees above room temperature. Replace its batteries if the screen is blank.
Check the furnace filter. A clogged filter can trip the safety limit and shut the furnace down.
Check the breaker and the furnace power switch, which often looks like a light switch near the unit.
Make sure the furnace door panel is fully closed, since a safety switch stops the furnace if it's loose.
Still no heat? Call 888-903-4070. We're available 24/7.
