Furnace Repair
A furnace that will not light, stops repeatedly or leaves rooms cold needs a diagnosis. RJ Sam’s explains what was found and quotes the repair before approval in Alexandria, Falls Church and Arlington.

Tell us what’s happening
What is your furnace doing?
Describe what you’ve noticed as best you can. If you know when it started or which rooms are affected, that helps. We’ll investigate the cause; you do not need to diagnose it.
- No heat or failure to start
- The furnace does not start or the air remains cool.
- Repeated shutdowns
- A shutdown can be a protective response to another problem.
- Blower runs but rooms stay cold
- Heating operation and the airflow reaching the rooms need assessment.
- Visible error or new noise
- If you have noticed a message or a change in how it runs, describe it as best you can. Leave the equipment closed.
What happens next
Find the cause. Review the repair. Check the result.
Investigate the concern
Checks may involve ignition, flame sensing, blower operation, airflow and relevant controls. A shutdown or displayed code guides investigation rather than establishing a failed part.
Explain the finding and proposed work
We discuss the repair, its price and whether further investigation, a specific part or a return visit is needed.
Approve the work, then check operation
You decide whether to proceed. After the approved repair, we check operation and explain what was done. A needed part or return visit is discussed before it is arranged.

We investigate the concern, explain the findings and quote any proposed repair before you approve the work.
Sign up for Maintenance Plan →What affects the repair price? Ignition and safety controls, blower operation and airflow require different checks and parts. The condition of the remaining furnace, suitable parts and a possible return visit affect the repair proposal.
When there are options
Repair or replacement?
When repair may make sense
The identified fault can be addressed and the remaining equipment can serve your needs. Review the repair price and what the work will resolve.
When to compare replacement
A furnace fault does not automatically mean replacement. Compare equipment condition, repair history and suitable parts with the proposed repair and any comfort problems that would remain.

Getting ready
Questions before your visit
Review the common questions and use the symptom checker for guidance before requesting a visit. A technician will need to diagnose the cause.
What furnace checks might the visit involve?
Depending on the symptom, checks may include the ignition sequence, flame sensing, blower operation, airflow and relevant controls. Repeated shutdowns can be a protective response to another fault. A displayed code guides investigation; it does not establish that a specific part needs replacing.
What should I prepare before the visit?
Note when the problem started, which rooms are affected and any visible thermostat message. Keep access clear, leave equipment panels closed and do not repeatedly reset equipment or a tripped breaker. Do not bypass a safety switch.
Can the repair be completed during the visit?
That depends on the finding, work and parts needed. We explain any specific part, further investigation or return visit with the proposed work before you approve it.
