My furnace is out. Who do I call for repair?

Absolutely. A licensed HVAC/heating contractor is who you want for a furnace repair.

I can find reputable repair companies near you, but I need your city or ZIP code first. You can also share your location:

If you smell natural gas, don't try to restart the furnace—leave the home and call your gas utility or 911 from a safe location.

When your furnace goes out, you need to call a licensed HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) contractor or a local heating and repair specialist.

Who to Contact

• Local Independent HVAC Companies: Search for local residential heating and cooling repair companies with strong community reputations. You can look up certified professionals via the ACCA Contractor Locator.
• Brand-Specific Authorized Dealers: If you know the brand of your furnace (e.g., Trane, Lennox, Carrier), check manufacturer directories like the Trane Dealer Locator or Lennox Dealer Locator to find technicians specifically trained and stocked with parts for your system.
• Home Warranty or Utilities: Check if you have an active home warranty policy covering appliances/HVAC, or call your local gas/electric utility, as they sometimes maintain referral lists of certified local technicians.

Quick Checklist Before Calling

If you'd like, tell me:

• What brand or type of furnace you have (gas, electric, oil)?
• Are there any error codes or lights flashing on the unit?

I can help you troubleshoot basic issues or give you advice on what to ask the technician when they arrive.

When your furnace goes out, you need to call a professional heating and cooling technician . Here is who you should look for and how to find the right one:

• Your Utility Provider or Manufacturer : If your unit is under warranty, check the manufacturer's website or your local utility company's partner network for certified repair technicians.

To help narrow down your options, tell me:

When your furnace goes out, you need to call an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) technician or a local HVAC contractor/company.

Here is a quick guide on who to look for and how to choose the right professional:

• HVAC Repair Companies: Look for local residential heating and cooling service companies. They specialize specifically in diagnosing and fixing furnace issues (gas, electric, or oil).
• Plumbing and Heating Contractors: Many local plumbing companies also employ certified HVAC technicians and offer 24/7 emergency heating repair.
• Your Utility Provider: If you have a service protection plan through your local gas or electric utility company (like a home comfort plan), check their website or call their customer service line, as they often dispatch approved local technicians or cover basic repairs.
• Home Warranty Company: If you currently have an active home warranty, check your policy details and call them first before hiring an independent contractor, as they will send out a contracted technician.

Tips for finding someone quickly:

• Search for "emergency HVAC repair near me" or "furnace repair [your city/zip code]" on a local search engine or directory like Angi or HomeAdvisor.
• Look for companies advertising 24/7 emergency service if it is freezing outside.
• Check that the technicians are licensed, bonded, and insured , and ideally NATE-certified (North American Technician Excellence).

If you want, tell me:

• What symptoms it is showing (won't turn on, blowing cold air, making strange noises)

I can help you troubleshoot some safe, basic checks before the technician arrives.

• HVAC Contractor / HVAC Company : Look for local, licensed, and insured heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professionals. They specialize in diagnosing and repairing furnace ignition, blower, thermostat, and gas/electric issues.
• Local Utility Company : If you suspect a gas leak (smell rotten eggs/sulfur) or a complete gas service interruption, call your local natural gas provider immediately. Note: Utility companies usually only service lines up to the meter; they won't fix your internal furnace components, but they can shut off the gas safely in an emergency.
• Home Warranty Company : If you have an active home warranty policy, check your coverage and call their designated dispatch number to file a claim before hiring an independent contractor.
• Property Landlord / Property Manager : If you rent your home or apartment, contact your landlord or building management immediately. Do not attempt to fix or hire someone yourself, as lease agreements typically require them to handle maintenance.

If you'd like, tell me:

• What symptoms it is showing (not turning on, blowing cold air, making strange noises)
