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.

We had an emergency service performed on Saturday, the technician Chris was professional and talked me through everything he was doing. I’d rate his overall work on a scale of 1-10 as over 10 because he was that awesome. What gets me is the pricing of the service. As I mentioned it was an emergency, and as the customer I want an itemized breakdown of parts and labor. I just called GEM and they mentioned they do not provide that. I will continue to call until I get the satisfaction I want on full disclosure of MY billing statement the was paid for in FULL by MYSELF. I know GEM reads these reviews and I want my fully itemized bill for services rendered.

Update, The President of the Comapny Jeff, Stepped up and helped me get a maintenance plan. He also comped me $250 on getting the part replaced. We had a long discussion he understands my complaints. Says he plans on addressing them with his team. I normally would not do a negative review. Two years ago I had Gem install a $15,000 heating and hot water system. Within six months it was leaking and I called them for the warranty service. I was told the water was coming in through the walls and that the leak from the pipe was superficial. I have not had water in my basement since they stopped the leak but I paid the $150 rollout fee as they were good to me when they installed the product. Then they came out last year because my heat wasn’t working and we’re here for five minutes. Fix the problem and left said it was a switch issue. I had the same issue this year called them. I was told it was going to be a warranty issue and that they would be there between 12 and four. At 4:20 I called them and they said they were having a little bit of a delay and that they would be out soon. It didn’t arrive until 7:37 PM When they arrived, they said that it would be $150 rollout fee plus a diagnostic fee for them to check what’s wrong. I told them that I was told it would be a warranty service. They said that the warranty was only for a year and they don’t know why that was told to me. I called the office and complained talk to somebody who said they would talk to a supervisor and they understand my complaint and that yes they warranty is only for a year. I explained that I paid for a home warranty and I would not have had them come out if I was going to have to pay anything. They said they would have a supervisor call me then either that night or the next day and they still have still haven’t called me and it’s been four days. I called them yesterday to see if I could speak to somebody again and they said they would have somebody call me again. Nobody called. I myself have figured out kind of what From using AI and trial and error. The issue I have is they were fine when I was paying them the $15,000 to install the system. Didn’t stand by their warranty when it was clearly a pipe leak that caused the water in my basement. They made up a story about it being through my walls. Then when I was told it would be a warranty issue and mistake by their own person, they tried to charge me over $300 before doing any work to the product. You’re very cautious using them as they have a very good name, but that’s about it
Good service on time

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.
