Heating in Ellettsville is its own animal
Newer Ellettsville subdivisions are tight enough that a properly set blower matters as much as burner output. The older homes near the creek run the other direction and lose heat through air leaks. Two different problems, one correct answer: size the equipment to the actual house.
What we look at first
Most no-heat calls come down to a handful of things. We work through them in order rather than guessing:
- Ignitor or pilot assembly that has failed or cracked
- Flame sensor coated enough that the furnace lights and then shuts right back down
- Blower motor or capacitor that is drawing wrong
- A limit switch tripping because airflow is restricted, often a filter nobody has changed
- Thermostat wiring and control board faults
- Gas valve and pressure problems
Short cycling is worth calling about
A furnace that lights, runs a minute, and shuts off is telling you something. It is usually overheating because it cannot move air, and running it that way puts real strain on the heat exchanger. It is a cheaper fix now than later.
Common questions
Do you serve Ellettsville?
Yes. Ellettsville is part of our regular service area, and you talk to a real person when you call. The price comes before the work, always.
My furnace is blowing but the air is cold.
That usually points at the ignition side rather than the blower. The fan is doing its job, so the issue is that the burners are not lighting or are not staying lit. It is a common call and often a same-visit fix.
Is it worth repairing or should I replace it?
That depends on the age of the unit and what has failed. We will tell you honestly when a repair is throwing money at a furnace that is near the end. See furnace installation if replacement is the better call.
