Comprehensive Furnace Services

Everything Your Heating System Needs

Our furnace repair service covers everything from simple maintenance issues to major component failures. We work on all types of heating systems, including gas furnaces, electric units, and heat pumps common in Portola Valley homes.

In Portola Valley’s climate, your furnace might sit unused for months, then suddenly need to work when temperatures drop. We specialize in getting dormant systems back online quickly and safely, understanding the unique challenges Bay Area weather presents.

We also handle emergency repairs when your furnace fails unexpectedly. Whether it’s a weekend, holiday, or the middle of the night, we’re available to restore heat to your home. Our trucks carry common parts for most furnace brands, so we can often complete repairs in a single visit.

Regular maintenance is part of what we offer too. Portola Valley’s mild climate can make it easy to forget about your furnace until you need it, but annual service prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently year-round.

How much does furnace repair cost in Portola Valley?

Furnace repair costs in Portola Valley typically range from $200 to $800 for most common issues, though the exact price depends on what needs to be fixed. Simple repairs like replacing a thermostat or cleaning burners cost less, while major component replacements like heat exchangers or blower motors cost more. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Our service call includes a thorough diagnosis, and if you choose to have us complete the repair, that fee is applied to the total cost. Most homeowners find that professional furnace repair costs much less than replacing the entire system, especially when the furnace is less than 15 years old and well-maintained.

What are the most common furnace problems in Portola Valley?

The most common furnace problems we see in Portola Valley are related to systems that haven’t been used for several months. When fall arrives and homeowners turn on their heat for the first time, issues like dirty filters, pilot light problems, and thermostat malfunctions become apparent. We also frequently repair blower motor issues, which can cause the furnace to run but not circulate air properly. Gas valve problems are another common issue, especially in older systems that haven’t received regular maintenance. Strange noises, uneven heating, and systems that cycle on and off repeatedly are signs that your furnace needs professional attention. These problems rarely fix themselves and usually get worse over time if ignored.

How quickly can you repair my furnace in an emergency?

For emergency furnace repairs in Portola Valley, we typically arrive within 2-4 hours of your call, depending on the time of day and current demand. We maintain emergency service 24/7 because we know that furnace failures don’t wait for convenient times. Our service trucks carry the most common replacement parts for popular furnace brands, which means we can often complete repairs the same day without waiting for parts to be ordered. This is especially important during cold snaps when multiple systems may fail simultaneously. If we can’t complete the repair immediately due to parts availability, we’ll work to get your heat restored temporarily while we order what’s needed for a permanent fix. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities.

Should I repair or replace my old furnace?

If your furnace is less than 15 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new system, repair is usually the better choice. However, if you’re facing frequent breakdowns, significantly higher energy bills, or major component failures, replacement might be more cost-effective. In Portola Valley’s climate, a well-maintained furnace can last 20-25 years. Signs that replacement makes more sense include needing multiple repairs per year, inability to maintain consistent temperatures, and repair costs that exceed $1,500-2,000. We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your specific situation. Our goal is to help you make the best decision for your home and budget, not to sell you something you don’t need.

Do you service all furnace brands and types?

Yes, we service all major furnace brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and many others. Our technicians are trained to work on gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pump systems commonly found in Portola Valley homes. We also service both newer high-efficiency units and older systems that may be harder to find parts for. Our experience with the variety of heating systems in Portola Valley means we understand the unique challenges each type presents. Whether you have a standard gas furnace, a high-efficiency condensing unit, or a heat pump system, we have the knowledge and tools to diagnose and repair it properly. We maintain relationships with parts suppliers to ensure we can get what’s needed for even older or less common systems.

How can I prevent future furnace problems?

The best way to prevent furnace problems is through annual maintenance, ideally performed before the heating season begins. This includes cleaning or replacing filters, checking all electrical connections, testing safety systems, and cleaning burners and heat exchangers. In Portola Valley’s climate, it’s especially important to have your furnace serviced after the long summer break. Systems that sit unused for months can develop problems that only become apparent when you need heat again. Between professional services, you can help prevent problems by changing your filter regularly, keeping the area around your furnace clean and unobstructed, and calling for service if you notice any unusual noises, odors, or performance issues. Early attention to small problems prevents them from becoming expensive emergencies.
