Furnace Repair
A malfunctioning furnace can quickly turn a comfortable home into a chilly and uncomfortable space. If your furnace is acting up, making strange noises, failing to produce heat, or causing your energy bills to spike, it's time to call for professional Furnace Repair. Our technicians are skilled at diagnosing and fixing a wide range of furnace issues, from pilot light problems and faulty thermostats to blower motor malfunctions and ignition issues. We work efficiently to identify the root cause of the problem and implement lasting repairs, aiming to restore heat to your home quickly and effectively. We also offer emergency repair services for those unexpected breakdowns that just can't wait.
Furnace Installation & Replacement
There comes a time when repairing an old or inefficient furnace is no longer the most cost-effective solution. If your furnace is over 15-20 years old, requires frequent expensive repairs, or isn't heating your home evenly, considering a Furnace Installation or replacement might be the best step. Upgrading to a new, high-efficiency furnace offers numerous benefits, including lower energy bills, improved indoor comfort, quieter operation, and enhanced reliability. We can help you explore options for gas or electric furnaces, helping you choose a system properly sized for your Lawndale home to ensure optimal performance and energy savings.
Understanding the cost of a new furnace installation is a key consideration for homeowners. In Lawndale and the greater Southern California area, the cost can vary significantly based on factors like the type and size of the furnace, its energy efficiency rating (AFUE), the complexity of the installation (e.g., ductwork modifications), and any necessary permits. While providing an exact figure without an assessment is impossible, homeowners in the region might expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 to over $7,000 or more for a standard furnace replacement, depending on these variables. We provide transparent estimates and discuss all costs upfront, and our available Financing options can help spread the investment over time.
Furnace Maintenance & Tune-Ups
Regular maintenance is the most effective way to ensure your furnace operates safely, efficiently, and reliably throughout the heating season. Annual Furnace Maintenance or a Furnace Tune Up helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the lifespan of your equipment, and keeps your energy bills in check.
Our comprehensive furnace tune-up includes a thorough inspection and cleaning of key components, such as:
- Checking and calibrating the thermostat.
- Inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion.
- Cleaning the burners and ignition assembly.
- Checking gas pressure and connections.
- Inspecting the blower motor and lubricating moving parts.
- Checking the air filter and ductwork for obstructions.
- Verifying safety controls and electrical connections.
- Testing carbon monoxide levels.
By identifying and addressing minor issues early on, we can help you avoid costly repairs down the line and ensure your system is running at peak performance. Joining the Power Club provides regular maintenance visits and additional benefits for year-round peace of mind.
Repair or Replace Your Furnace?
A common question for Lawndale homeowners is whether to repair or replace an aging furnace. While repairs can provide a temporary fix, they might not be the most economical choice in the long run. A good rule of thumb often cited is the $5000 rule or $500 rule principle: if the cost of the repair multiplied by the age of the unit exceeds $5,000 (or some other significant benchmark), it might be more cost-effective to replace it. For instance, a furnace that is 15 years old and needs a $500 repair ($500 x 15 = $7,500, exceeding the threshold) could be a candidate for replacement.
Beyond this rule, consider:
- Age: Furnaces typically last 15-20 years. If yours is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, replacement is often wiser.
- Frequency of Repairs: If your furnace requires repairs year after year, the accumulated costs add up, and reliability becomes a concern.
- Energy Efficiency: Older furnaces have much lower energy efficiency ratings (AFUE) than modern units. A new furnace can significantly reduce your energy consumption and heating bills.
- Comfort: Is your home consistently cold in some areas? An old furnace may not be providing even or sufficient heat.
Our technicians can provide an honest assessment of your current system, discussing repair options versus the benefits and costs of replacement to help you make the best decision for your home and budget.
