Potential Causes of a Broken Furnace

- Faulty flame sensor or gas valve
- Burned-out control boards

We service gas, electric, and oil-powered furnaces across all of Nashville, from East Nashville to Green Hills.
Signs You Need Furnace Repairs
Furnace problems often start small, but those little warning signs, if not caught early, can easily escalate.
Here are the most common signs that it might be time to call for furnace repair.
Carbon Monoxide Detector Alert
If your carbon monoxide detector goes off, leave your home and call for help immediately. A cracked heat exchanger can leak dangerous gases, especially in aging systems without modern safeguards.
Not Enough Heat from Your System
Whether you’re noticing weak airflow or rooms that stay cold no matter how high you crank the thermostat, inadequate heat could stem from a blocked vent, broken blower, or misfiring gas valve.
Furnace Won’t Turn On
A furnace that won’t power up can leave you freezing fast. From worn-out parts to control board glitches, our team pinpoints the issue and restores heat without delay.
Strange or Unpleasant Furnace Smells
Musty odors may indicate mold in your ductwork, while metallic or burning smells often point to overheating components or electrical issues that require immediate repair.
Yellow or Flickering Pilot Light
Noticing a yellow or unsteady pilot flame? That often means your furnace isn’t burning fuel cleanly. We’ll inspect the burner and ventilation to fix the issue safely.
Furnace Affecting Indoor Air Quality
An inefficient furnace can quietly impact your indoor air, spreading allergens or even carbon buildup. We help Nashville homeowners protect their comfort and their air quality with expert diagnosis and repair.
Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Repair
What’s the recommended schedule for air duct cleaning and inspection?
We typically suggest having your ductwork checked once a year and cleaned every few years. Homes near Nashville’s growing construction zones or those with indoor air concerns may need more frequent service.
Do I need a high-altitude adjustment for my furnace in hilly areas like Bellevue or Forest Hills?
Although Nashville isn’t considered high altitude, some hillside homes can experience airflow or pressure challenges. If those issues persist, a furnace calibration may help improve comfort and efficiency.
At what point should I schedule a furnace repair appointment?
Notice your home isn’t as warm as it used to be, or hear something unusual from your unit? These early signs are your cue to call. Acting fast keeps your system healthy and your home comfortable all season.
Can Nashville’s high humidity levels affect furnace performance?
Furnaces aren’t always built with high humidity in mind, and Nashville’s air can definitely impact system health. From rust to air quality issues, our technicians know how to catch and fix humidity-related damage.
How much should I expect to spend on common furnace fixes?
Repair costs depend on the problem, but we make pricing easy to understand. You’ll get a clear estimate before work begins, plus access to Crockett Club discounts and flexible financing when needed.
