When the heat fails in Lancaster we would rather hear about it at 11pm than at 8am. A house dropping toward freezing is a plumbing risk as much as a comfort problem, and the repair is the same repair either way.

We are 66 miles from Lancaster at the original shop, but that is not where your technician comes from — teams work out of every part of the state so the response is local.

Common faults in Lancaster

Lights then quits — flame sensor. Will not light at all — igniter, or a vent blocked by snow or a nest. On and off every few minutes — restricted airflow tripping the high limit. Screeching on start-up — blower motor bearings.

Heating and cooling around Lancaster

Around Lancaster the fuel is usually natural gas, though propane turns up wherever the main stops short. What makes Lancaster County distinctive is the age of the buildings: stone farmhouses and pre-war homes that were designed around radiators and later had ductwork threaded through them.

Those retrofits are behind a lot of the comfort complaints we are called about — rooms that never settle, and a system blamed for duct problems.

Most furnace faults around Lancaster are ordinary parts: igniters, sensors, capacitors, switches, motors. Replacing an entire system because one of them failed is rarely the right advice, and we will tell you when it is not.

What happens when you call

If the honest answer is that the repair is not worth doing, we say so, including when a replacement would pay us considerably better. That is how the Lancaster work has grown by recommendation.

Our Furnace Repair coverage takes in the whole 17601 area, from the streets around Lancaster County Courthouse out to the addresses satellite navigation struggles with. Describing a nearby landmark is often faster than an address.

Furnace Repair in Lancaster — questions

Do you cover Lancaster for furnace repair?

Yes. Lancaster in Lancaster County is inside our service area and the 17601 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.

How often should I change the filter?

Check a one-inch filter monthly and change it every one to three months. More furnace failures trace back to a neglected filter than to any other single cause.

My furnace stopped right after heavy snow. Related?

Very likely. High-efficiency furnaces vent through plastic pipe out a sidewall, and snow or ice over that termination stops the furnace firing. Clearing it is often the entire repair.

Can you repair an oil furnace in Lancaster?

Yes. Nozzle, electrodes, cad cell, pump pressure, filter and draft are standard work for us, not a special order.

Why does my furnace light then shut off after a few seconds?

Almost always a dirty or failing flame sensor. The furnace cannot confirm a flame, so it closes the gas valve as a safety response. It is one of the least expensive furnace repairs there is.
