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.

Mason was excellent. Very friendly and explained all the options. He did an excellent job and we are pleased with the results.
They do excellent meticulous work. The only reason I can’t give five stars is through no fault of theirs. They found the gas leak, but it’s going to require a total refit of the piping.
Joe H was timely, efficient and knowledgeable.. super grateful we decided to book with GEM.
I contacted Gem and Colin D. came out on time when scheduled to provide a quote to install air conditioning in my home. I was impressed with the time taken to accurately review what was needed and their quote given was the lowest of 2 other quotes received where these companies spent all of 5 min. I agreed on the proposal and installation process. They arrived on time when scheduled. Everything went well, Town Permit was taken and Town Inspector came out. The Gem group were extremely professional and I am very satisfied with this company going forward for all my heating and air conditioning needs and maintenance.
Knowledgable, efficient, and pleasant technician.
Cory and partner were Johnny on the Spot. I called and they were there within an hour and fixed everything. Great service!!
Roberto was experienced, knowledgeable and thorough in every aspect of what was needed for our replacement. I would recommend them without any hesitation.
Great tech – explained everything
As with many things, my plumbing issue came up unexpectedly. I called on a Saturday afternoon, and a repair technician arrived at my home within five hours. The problem was resolved quickly and efficiently, and the technician was both knowledgeable and professional throughout the process.

The cost was higher than I had anticipated, but given that the issue required immediate attention and needed to be resolved that day, I was prepared for the expense. Overall, I was pleased with the prompt service and quality of the repair.
Outstanding service from GEM Plumbing & Heating! David and his teammate were incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable. David took the time to explain everything and made the entire experience stress-free. We were so impressed with the level of service and the timeliness, that we can't imagine using anyone else for our plumbing and heating needs. Highly recommend!
Devon and his Apprentice, Nolan, were courteous, competent, and very helpful!

Abraham did a great job. Quickly identified the problem (broken water pressure tank and dying water pump) and was back the next day to install replacements. Finished an hour ahead of schedule
Responsive and committed… our needs are met and the work is professional. As good as it comes… note: I’m writing this in a cool, comfortable setting now. 😁
I am very pleased with ALex's service. He is knowledgeable and polite.
The technician arrived. He came in and diagnosed the problem with my ductless system. He was able to get my system functioning, even though he didn’t have the pot needed to be replaced so temporarily we can run the system as it is he did he did his job by diagnosing the issue and doing a temporary fix?
I called GEM for a weekend, short notice pipe repair, and everyone was great from Hendry who I spoke to on the phone, to the two technicians Alec and Danny. They worked quickly, communicated clearly, and worked with me to come up with a solution I was happy with the price and result of. I would definitely call them in the future when things pop up.

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.
