When the heat fails in Philadelphia 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.

Describe the symptom rather than the part. Working out which component that points at is our job, and it is faster over the phone than you might expect.

Common faults in Philadelphia

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 Philadelphia

Around Philadelphia the fuel is usually natural gas, though propane turns up wherever the main stops short. What makes Philadelphia 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.

We will not patch a cracked heat exchanger. It is the barrier between combustion gases and the air you breathe, and the correct answer is replacement — shown to you, with the evidence.

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 Philadelphia work has grown by recommendation.

We work the full 19102 area for Furnace Repair, and the surrounding towns from the same base, so a call from the edge of Philadelphia is no harder than one from the middle.

Furnace Repair in Philadelphia — questions

Do you cover Philadelphia for furnace repair?

Yes. Philadelphia in Philadelphia County is inside our service area and the 19102 postal area is worked by the nearest crew. Call (215) 484-0300 at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays.

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.

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.

Can you repair an oil furnace in Philadelphia?

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

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.
