Common Furnace Repairs We Make

Are you experiencing these issues? Here’s what they are and how we can help.

When your furnace isn’t working properly, it can quickly turn from a small concern into a major headache. GEM has seen it all and fixed it all. Our NATE-certified HVAC technicians are trained to diagnose problems fast and get your system running safely again.

If your furnace isn’t producing enough warmth—or none at all—it could be due to ignition problems, thermostat issues, or restricted airflow. GEM’s experts will identify the cause and restore full comfort to your home.

When your furnace turns on and off too often, it’s often a sign of a clogged filter, thermostat malfunction, or improper sizing. We’ll tune your system for efficient performance and consistent heating.

Rattling, banging, or squealing sounds are never normal. They can point to loose components, worn bearings, or blower motor problems. GEM’s technicians will pinpoint the issue and prevent further damage.

Cold spots or inconsistent temperatures often mean your furnace isn’t distributing air evenly. Our team checks ductwork, airflow balance, and system capacity to bring back even, comfortable warmth.

From electrical issues to safety sensor malfunctions, there are many reasons a furnace might not start. GEM uses advanced diagnostic tools to quickly get to the root of the problem and get your system running again.

Burning odors, musty smells, or increased dust may indicate a ventilation or filtration issue. We’ll ensure your system is clean, safe, and circulating healthy air throughout your home.

For gas furnaces, issues with the pilot light or ignition system can shut down your heat completely. Our certified technicians handle these repairs safely and efficiently, so your system can run worry-free.

Very fast install of 7-zone mini split system and required panel upgrade. From first call to work completion was less than a week. No quality issues of install and the workers were great. Overall GEM is very expensive, but quality and speed are fantastic.
Just completed AC tune up with Nick R. Courteous and knowledgeable service. Thorough and friendly. Arrived on time and explained his intent. Highly recommend!
Richard F. was the first Gem employee I met. My original appointment was to have the air conditioner yearly service (central air). After opening the side panel Richard showed me the black mold and rust inside the unit. NO ONE had ever opened the side panel during a yearly service appointment. There were years of built up black mold. I will NEVER use the companies I have used in the past. Richard presented 2 options. He was not pushy. He simply presented the information to me and answered all of my questions. Richard is respectful both professionally and personally. We scheduled the appointment for the following day (removal of the old unit and condenser and installation of the new.

The following day Richie and John arrived at 7:45AM. Leo then arrived. They worked from the time they arrived (7:45AM-5:00PM) until they completed the job. They are respectful both professionally and personally. They thoroughly explained all the work they did and gave me information that I did not know previously. Again, we get the a/c serviced yearly and no one had ever explained anything. They cleaned up after completing the work. I mean immaculately.
He came over on Easter Sunday and helped us with a big problem that could not wait. He explained everything in detail. He stayed until the problem was resolved. Really nice guy.
Tech was efficient, skilled, client focused and really nice
Very professional and nice. Answer our questions, highly recommended
Joe and Richard are extremely pleasant and professional. I was pleased that when I got the phone call saying that they would arrive in 45 minutes they were at my door in 45 minutes! We are very pleased that we called GEM Heating and Plumbing.
Solid squad, I was sad to hear Bill is retiring. Highly recommend GEM to anyone who has HVAC, plumbing, or electrical needs.

Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

Our team treats every home with care and respect, ensuring that you feel confident and comfortable with every step of the service.

There can be a sense of hesitation when you work with an air conditioning contractor for the first time; GEM is here to calm your nerves and make the process simple, transparent, and stress-free from start to finish. 

Furnaces typically have a life span of 15 to 20 years, and their efficiency can decrease over time. If your system has surpassed its service life span, it might be time to consider a replacement.

When repairing your furnace exceeds 50% of the replacement cost, replacing the system is more cost-effective.

If you’re calling for repairs multiple times a season, replacing the entire system may be more cost-effective.

An aging furnace may become less efficient, leading to higher energy bills. A newer, energy-efficient model can offer significant long-term savings.
