How fast can you get here for a no-heat call?
Call us and tell us the house is without heat and we will get you on the schedule as soon as a crew is free. If there are small children, older adults or health concerns in the house, say so when you call so we can prioritise properly.
My furnace clicks but never lights. What is that?
That clicking is usually the ignitor trying and the burners not catching. Common causes are a cracked hot surface ignitor, a flame sensor coated in residue, a closed pressure switch problem, or no gas reaching the valve. All of that needs a technician, not a homeowner.
Do you work on electric furnaces too?
Yes. Electric furnace repair covers failed heating elements, sequencers, contactors, limit switches and blower motors. The symptoms look similar to gas: weak heat, tripping breakers, or nothing at all. We test each element and the control circuit rather than guessing.
Is it worth repairing an older furnace?
Often yes, especially if the failure is an ignitor, sensor, capacitor or motor and the heat exchanger is sound. We tell you what failed, what else looks tired, and what a repair buys you, then you decide. We do not push replacement on a furnace with life left.
How soon can you get to my Charleston home?
Call us and tell us what the system is doing and we will give you the soonest window we have. No cooling or no heat gets moved up the list, especially during a heat wave or a hard freeze. If we cannot reach you the same day, we will say so straight instead of leaving you guessing.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form and describe what changed. Warm air, no air, a smell, a noise, a breaker that keeps tripping. That detail tells us what parts to bring along.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
We check the thermostat, the electrical side, airflow and the equipment itself before we quote anything. If the problem sits in the ductwork rather than the unit, we say so plainly.
- Step 3
We repair and explain
Most air conditioning repair and heating repair work finishes in one visit. We show you the failed part, explain what caused it, and tell you what to watch for next season.

Why homeowners call us
- Propane and dual fuelPlenty of homes in our service area run propane heat or a dual fuel setup with a heat pump. We know how those systems switch over and why a bad changeover setting can leave you cold and burning fuel.
- Older houses, added ductworkFarmhouses often got ducts decades after they were built, run through crawl spaces and attics. When the equipment tests fine but rooms still fight each other, we look at the duct runs and static pressure.
- Repair before replacementA failed capacitor, a cracked wire, a clogged drain or a bad control board is a repair, not a new system. We tell you when the equipment is genuinely finished and when it is not.
- Plain talk on the phoneWe ask what the thermostat reads, whether the outdoor unit is spinning, and when it last worked normally. That two minute conversation often shortens the visit and keeps the repair cost down.

- Straight answersIf a system is not worth repairing, we say so, often right on the phone.
