Your furnace responds immediately when you adjust the thermostat. No more waiting twenty minutes for heat to kick in. No more cold spots in bedrooms while the living room overheats.
You get consistent comfort throughout your San Carlos home, whether you’re in a Laurel Street ranch or a hillside contemporary. Your energy bills stay reasonable because your system runs efficiently instead of working overtime to compensate for problems.
Most importantly, you sleep better knowing your heating won’t fail during those surprising Bay Area cold snaps. Professional repairs mean fewer emergency calls and more predictable comfort for your family.
We’ve been the go-to furnace repair company in San Carlos since 1985. Started by one family, continued by the next generation—same commitment to honest service and quality work.
We know San Carlos homes inside and out. From the post-war neighborhoods near Eaton Park to the newer developments climbing toward Devonshire, we understand how Bay Area microclimates affect your heating system and what actually works in your specific location.
Our technicians aren’t just passing through town. We live here, shop here, and build relationships with families who trust us enough to call back year after year. We’re the HVAC contractor your neighbors recommend.
We start with a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong with your furnace. No guessing games, no fishing expeditions—just clear identification of the problem and a straightforward explanation of what it takes to fix it.
You get an upfront price before we start any work. We show you the faulty parts, explain your options, and give you choices that fit your budget. If your system is old and expensive repairs don’t make financial sense, we’ll tell you that too.
Once you approve the work, we fix it right using quality parts and proven techniques. We test everything thoroughly, clean up completely, and make sure you understand how to prevent similar problems. Most San Carlos furnace repairs are completed the same day.

We handle every type of heating problem San Carlos homes experience. Pilot lights that won’t stay lit during windy weather. Blower motors that quit when you need heat most. Thermostats that leave some rooms freezing while others overheat.
San Carlos’s unique coastal location creates specific challenges for heating systems. Marine air affects ignition components in older gas furnaces. Temperature swings between foggy mornings and sunny afternoons stress system components. We’ve diagnosed and fixed these local issues for nearly four decades.
Our comprehensive service includes emergency repairs when your heat fails completely, preventive maintenance that catches problems early, and honest guidance about whether repair or replacement makes better financial sense for your specific situation.
Most furnace repairs in San Carlos range from $150 to $600, depending on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like thermostat calibration or flame sensor cleaning are on the lower end, while component replacements like heat exchangers or blower assemblies cost more.
We always diagnose the problem completely before quoting any work. You get a clear, written estimate that breaks down parts and labor costs—no hidden fees or surprise charges. If your furnace is older and repair costs approach replacement pricing, we’ll explain your options honestly.
Emergency service calls may include an additional trip charge, but we disclose all fees upfront. Our goal is helping you make informed decisions about your heating system, not maximizing our profit on any single repair.
Most furnace repairs are completed within 1-2 hours of our arrival. Simple problems like thermostat issues or clogged filters can often be resolved in under an hour, while component replacements typically take longer but are still finished the same day.
For heating emergencies, we typically respond within 2-4 hours throughout San Carlos and can often restore heat during the first visit. Our service trucks stock common replacement parts and diagnostic equipment to handle most problems immediately.
If we need special-order parts, we complete the diagnosis and temporary repairs during the first visit, then return to finish the job once parts arrive. We prioritize getting your heat working safely and efficiently as quickly as possible.
For furnaces over 15 years old requiring expensive repairs, replacement often makes better financial sense. If repair costs exceed half the price of a new system, or if you’re facing frequent breakdowns and rising energy bills, it’s usually time to replace.
We consider your furnace’s age, repair history, energy efficiency, and safety when making recommendations. Cracked heat exchangers, persistent gas odors, or carbon monoxide issues always warrant immediate replacement for your family’s safety.
For newer systems under 10 years old, repairs usually make sense unless there’s major component failure. We’ll give you honest advice about the most cost-effective option for your specific situation—no pressure to buy what you don’t need.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency furnace repair throughout San Carlos and San Mateo County. When your heating system fails completely, especially during cold weather or at night, we understand it can’t wait until regular business hours.
Our emergency service maintains the same quality standards and honest pricing as scheduled repairs—no premium charges for nights, weekends, or holidays. We believe reliable heating is essential, not a luxury that should cost extra during emergencies.
We typically respond to emergency calls within 2-4 hours and arrive prepared to diagnose and repair most common problems immediately. Our technicians carry essential parts and tools to restore heat as quickly and safely as possible.
Listen for unusual noises like banging, rattling, or grinding sounds, which typically indicate mechanical problems requiring professional attention. Strange odors, especially gas smells or burning odors, should never be ignored and require immediate service calls.
Watch for performance issues like frequent cycling, long warm-up times, or uneven heating where some rooms stay cold while others overheat. Rising energy bills without increased usage often signal efficiency problems that worsen over time.
Yellow pilot light flames instead of blue indicate combustion problems requiring immediate professional service. Addressing these warning signs early prevents more expensive repairs and ensures your family’s safety throughout San Carlos’s heating season.
