Our Furnace Repair Process

Straightforward Service, No Surprises

First, we listen to what’s happening with your heating system. Strange noises, uneven heating, or complete breakdown – we need to understand the problem before we can fix it properly.

Next, we perform a comprehensive diagnostic. This isn’t just poking around hoping to find something obvious. We test components, check connections, and identify both the immediate issue and any potential problems down the road.

Then we explain what we found and provide transparent pricing before starting any work. You know exactly what you’re paying for and why it’s necessary. Once you approve, we complete the repair efficiently and test everything to make sure your furnace is running properly.

Complete Furnace Repair Solutions

Everything Your Heating System Needs

You get comprehensive furnace repair that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. We handle everything from ignition problems and thermostat issues to blower motor replacement and heat exchanger repairs.

Berkeley’s older homes often have unique heating challenges. Vintage systems need specialized knowledge, while newer installations require up-to-date technical expertise. We bring both to every job, along with the right parts and tools to complete repairs properly the first time.

Every repair includes testing to ensure your system runs efficiently and safely. You receive a warranty on our work because we stand behind what we do. Your furnace should heat your home reliably, and our service makes sure it does exactly that.

How quickly can you repair my furnace in Berkeley?

We offer same-day furnace repair service throughout Berkeley when you call before 3 PM. For emergency situations, we provide 24/7 service because we understand that heating problems don’t wait for convenient times. Most standard repairs are completed within 2-4 hours, depending on the issue and parts availability. We keep common furnace parts in our service vehicles to minimize delays, and for more complex repairs requiring special-order parts, we’ll provide temporary solutions to keep you comfortable while we complete the permanent fix.

What does furnace repair cost in Berkeley?

Furnace repair costs vary based on the specific problem, but we provide transparent, upfront pricing before starting any work. Simple fixes like thermostat adjustments or filter replacements typically run $150-300, while component replacements like blower motors or ignition systems range from $400-800. We never surprise you with hidden fees or inflated charges. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and why before we begin the repair. Our diagnostic fee is applied toward the repair cost if you choose to move forward with our service.

Do you work on older furnaces in Berkeley homes?

Absolutely. Berkeley has many vintage homes with older heating systems, and we specialize in repairing and maintaining these units. Whether you have a 1960s gas furnace or a more recent high-efficiency model, our technicians understand the different technologies and requirements. We maintain relationships with suppliers who stock parts for older systems, and when original parts aren’t available, we can recommend suitable modern replacements that maintain system integrity. Age alone doesn’t mean your furnace needs replacement – often a proper repair can extend its life significantly.

Is it worth repairing my furnace or should I replace it?

This depends on your furnace’s age, condition, and repair history. Generally, if your system is under 15 years old and the repair costs less than 50% of replacement value, repair makes financial sense. For furnaces over 20 years old with frequent breakdowns or major component failures, replacement often provides better long-term value. We’ll give you honest advice based on your specific situation, including energy efficiency considerations and expected remaining lifespan. Our goal is helping you make the most cost-effective decision for your home and budget, not pushing unnecessary services.

Do you provide emergency furnace repair in Berkeley?

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency furnace repair throughout Berkeley and surrounding areas. We understand that heating emergencies happen at the worst possible times – late nights, weekends, and holidays. Our emergency service includes the same transparent pricing and quality workmanship as our regular appointments. We prioritize safety issues like gas leaks or carbon monoxide concerns, and we’ll work to restore heat to your home as quickly as possible. Emergency service calls include a higher service fee, but there are no surprise charges beyond our quoted emergency rates.

What warranty do you provide on furnace repairs?

We warranty all furnace repair work for one full year, covering both parts and labor. This means if the same component fails or the same problem returns within 12 months, we’ll fix it at no additional charge. Manufacturer warranties on new parts are passed through to you, often providing additional coverage beyond our service warranty. We stand behind our work because we use quality parts and proper repair techniques. The warranty doesn’t cover normal wear and tear or damage from lack of maintenance, but it does protect you from defective parts or workmanship issues.
