A furnace that will not light, lights and quits, or blows air that never warms up is the most common reason anyone in Swissvale calls us. All three have different causes and all three are usually repairable.

What goes wrong

On oil-fired furnaces, which are still common in parts of Pennsylvania, the list is different: nozzle, electrodes, cad cell, fuel pump pressure, filter and chimney draft. A filter clogged after a delivery stirred up tank sediment is a routine finding.

Heating and cooling around Swissvale

Natural gas is abundant across south-western Pennsylvania, and Swissvale is almost entirely gas-heated as a result. The housing stock around Allegheny County leans heavily on mid-century construction, so a large share of what we repair is forced-air furnaces of a similar vintage and layout.

River valley properties bring their own complication: damp basements, corroded flues and condensate lines that need more attention than they usually get.

Short cycling and repeated hard ignition wear out the components that cause them, so a fault left alone in Swissvale usually gets more expensive rather than staying the same.

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 Swissvale work has grown by recommendation.

Furnace Repair in Swissvale — questions

Do you cover Swissvale for furnace repair?

Yes. Swissvale in Allegheny County is inside our service area and the 15218 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.

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.

Can you repair an oil furnace in Swissvale?

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.
