Common Furnace and Heating System Repairs
Keeping Your Home Warm Made Easy!
We’ve seen everything, but some repairs crop up more than others. Here’s a quick list of common furnace and heater repairs in Columbus, OH.
Dirty or faulty flame sensors
If you catch your furnace starting and stopping repeatedly or failing to produce heat after starting, this may be the cause. We’ll remove and clean the sensor (or replace it if needed), then run tests to ensure everything works.
Ductwork cleaning
Weak airflow and uneven heating are often symptoms of ductwork issues. We’ll get in there and clean things up to maximize airflow and ensure heat flows correctly.
Blower motor problems
Overheating, strange noises, and poor airflow can highlight trouble with the blower motor. We’ll check out the motor and its belts, repair or replace struggling components, and return it to working order.
Thermostat failures
Your furnace may be running constantly (or not at all) or heating to the wrong temperature. This problem usually points to a thermostat issue; luckily, it’s a pretty low-impact fix. Oftentimes, new batteries are all that’s needed; we can check the wiring and repair or replace as needed as well.
Limit switch troubles
The limit switch is an important safety feature of your furnace, but if it fails, dangerous situations can arise. We’ll ensure it correctly detects temperatures and shuts things down appropriately to avoid disaster.

The Benefits of Leaving Furnace Repair to the Pros
Trying to handle things yourself or calling that friend who “knows what they are doing” can be tempting, but hiring a professional to take over your furnace repairs is the right call. Here’s why.
-
Safety
First and foremost, damaged or failing furnaces are dangerous. There are internal electrical components, combustion systems, and gas lines that require years of experience to handle safely. Tinkering with these parts can lead to dangerous gas leaks, fires, and more.
-
Professional Tools
Trained professionals come with more than experience; they also have specialized diagnostic and repair tools to make the job easier. They’ll have a much easier (and quicker) time figuring out what’s wrong with your heating system and will have immediate access to the equipment they need.
-
Money Saving
Attempting repairs on your own or with that “experienced” friend comes with a whole host of problems. You could unknowingly damage internal components, leading to a major failure and a bigger repair bill than you would have started with. Incorrect or sloppy service can completely void your warranty and lose you manufacturer support in the future.
-
Compliance With Code
Properly (and safely) heating a home is much more than just guesswork. There are important local codes and safety standards that go into creating a proper heating environment. Venting guidelines must be followed precisely to ensure heated air flows smoothly and evenly throughout your home. Taking furnace repairs into your own hands can put you at risk of violating important regulations and endanger your home. No one wants that.
-
Reliable Backup
If, for any reason, there is confusion about a job, your technician can and will reach out to other professionals for help. You don’t want to rely on a quick Google or guesswork when you encounter a problem with your furnace. Let an expert team leverage its entire toolset to deliver the best possible outcome for your home.
-
Better Heating Efficiency and Performance
Trained professionals don’t just repair, they get your furnace working better than before. Slapping a Band-Aid on a problem only helps for so long. Diagnosing the root issue and resolving any associated problems can extend your furnace’s lifespan and even save you money on utility bills. Don’t settle for a temporary fix; call a professional for your furnace or heater repairs in Columbus, OH.

Eddie Johnson, HVAC Service Call
“Mike came out to do a safety inspection for us on the furnace. As he started doing research on our furnace and found out it has not been serviced since we had it installed about 3 years ago. So I asked if he had time to do a full blown checkup. He made arrangements to do the checkup, made a couple recommendations and even cleaned out the chipmunk that met his demise by crawling in the make up air pipe and couldn’t make his way back out. Great guy, very personable. Even figured out that our new NEST thermostat wasn’t working properly.”
Mike Brown, HVAC Safety Inspection

Furnace Repair Frequently Asked Questions
Your heating questions—answered by our experts!
Most furnace repairs in Columbus are completed the same day you call. Our fully stocked trucks ensure we can fix most issues on the first visit.
If your furnace is blowing cold air, there are a few possible causes. Most commonly, your thermostat may be set incorrectly, your air filters may be clogged or excessively dirty, your ductwork may be leaking, or you may have a pilot light or ignition problem. These are all mostly simple fixes once you get a technician out to investigate.
It depends; by nature, furnaces are controlled fires, and as they break down and age, they can become dangerous. If your furnace is 15 years or older, you should be in the market for a replacement to avoid dangerous situations like carbon monoxide leaks and failing parts.
They certainly can be. If a major winter storm is on the way, lacking a viable heat source is definitely an emergency. The same goes for things like carbon monoxide leaks, smelling gas, or burning from your heating unit. In these situations, you should drop everything and contact a professional to get you sorted.
There are some things you can check on your own to help maintain your furnace. Give your thermostat a once-over to make sure it’s set properly and heating to the temperature you desire. Cleaning or replacing dirty filters and removing anything that blocks vital ventilation spaces around your home can help your heating system perform better.
If you’re ready to reach out, call Five Star Home Services for all of your furnace and heater repair needs in Columbus, OH.
