Our trained technicians are available around the clock to ensure that your heating system is up and running in no time at all, making us the first choice when you require an HVAC repair service.

Furnace Repair is More Than Just Keeping Warm

Something to remember about furnace units is that they produce carbon monoxide. Therefore, when a furnace isn’t working properly, there is always the chance that this carbon monoxide could leak into your home, and this is a potentially deadly problem to run into. Often times, an older furnace will start to leak simply because it has reached the end of its life cycle. Other times, a furnace may have been improperly installed, which can lead to similar problems. Either way, your indoor air quality is sure to suffer as a result of a leaking furnace.

If you have noticed that your furnace isn’t functioning as it should, it is very important that you have it inspected immediately. We will do everything in our power to keep your current furnace warming your home safely, which, of course, is the most important thing.

What Can Go Wrong

There are a number of different furnace problems that you might experience and it is a good idea to know what to look for, so that you know when to ask for furnace repair services.

Paying For a Furnace Repair

Frequently, customers will wonder how they will pay for a furnace repair. While repairing your existing unit is certainly more economical than buying a new one, there is still some cost involved and the amount will depend on the complexity of the repair.

The first thing that we recommend is to see if your homeowners insurance will cover the cost. As you may know, however, these insurance companies won’t want to pay to fix this problem and unless you can prove that the damage was caused by something external, you might have to explore other options. There are some government energy assistance programs in place that could help you. These loans and grants have specific criteria, depending on the exact program, so have a look at them to see if you qualify.

When it turns out that you will be stuck paying for the repair on your own, don’t get discouraged if you can’t come up with the money right away. As we discussed before, a leaking furnace could be deadly and, therefore, you’ll want to explore all of your options.

Hunt’s Services offers a financing program for repairs like this, which could make your life easier if you run into a serious furnace issue. Long term financing is available, so give us a call to discuss your options.
