Everything Your Heating System Needs

Your furnace repair includes thorough diagnosis of the entire heating system. We check the heat exchanger, blower motor, ignition system, thermostat connections, and gas lines. Many San Francisco homes have older systems with unique configurations that require experienced eyes.

We handle everything from simple thermostat issues to complex heat exchanger problems. Emergency repairs when your heat goes out completely. Preventive maintenance to catch problems before they leave you cold.

You get honest recommendations about repairs versus replacement. Sometimes a $200 repair saves you from a $5,000 replacement. Sometimes the opposite is true. We’ll tell you which situation you’re actually in.

Most furnace repairs in San Francisco can be completed the same day we diagnose the problem. We stock common parts for the heating systems typically found in SF homes, including older models in Victorian houses and modern units in newer developments. For emergency situations where you have no heat, we prioritize same-day service. Complex repairs requiring special-order parts might take an additional day or two, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed throughout the process.
Furnace repair costs in San Francisco vary based on the specific problem and your system type. Simple fixes like thermostat issues or clogged filters run $150-300. More involved repairs like blower motor replacement or heat exchanger issues range from $400-1200. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No surprise charges or inflated labor rates. We’ll also let you know if repair costs are approaching replacement territory, so you can make an informed decision about your heating system.
Yes, we regularly service older heating systems throughout San Francisco, including the unique setups found in Victorian and Edwardian homes. Many of these properties have older boilers, gravity furnaces, or converted systems that require specialized knowledge. Our technicians understand how these systems work and where problems typically develop. We can source parts for older units and provide honest assessments about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your specific situation and budget.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. We’ve repaired many furnaces that other companies wanted to replace, but we’ve also confirmed replacement recommendations when they were accurate. The key is getting an honest, thorough diagnosis from someone who isn’t primarily trying to sell you a new system. We’ll examine your furnace completely, test all components, and give you straight information about repair options and costs versus replacement benefits. If a repair will give you several more years of reliable service at a reasonable cost, we’ll tell you that too.
In San Francisco, we see frequent issues with pilot lights and ignition systems due to the coastal air and older gas lines. Blower motors work harder because of the constant temperature changes from fog to sun. Heat exchangers in older systems develop cracks from decades of heating cycles. Thermostat problems are common in older homes with outdated wiring. We also see clogged vents and ducts from the city’s dust and particulates. Most of these issues are repairable when caught early, which is why we recommend annual maintenance for San Francisco heating systems.
Yes, we provide emergency furnace repair throughout San Francisco when you have no heat. We understand that heating failures don’t wait for convenient times, especially during San Francisco’s cooler months when you need consistent warmth. Emergency service includes evenings and weekends, though emergency rates apply for after-hours calls. We’ll diagnose the problem quickly and focus on getting your heat restored as fast as possible. For non-emergency repairs, we offer flexible scheduling to work around your schedule, including evening appointments for busy professionals.
