Our furnace repair service covers all makes and models, from older gas furnaces to modern high-efficiency systems. We handle everything from simple filter replacements and thermostat issues to major component repairs like heat exchangers and blower motors.
In North Middletown’s coastal environment, furnaces face unique challenges. Salt air can accelerate corrosion, and the humidity fluctuations between seasons put extra stress on your system. We know how to address these local factors and extend your furnace’s lifespan.
We also provide comprehensive maintenance services to prevent breakdowns before they happen. Regular tune-ups catch small problems early, improve efficiency, and help your furnace last longer. For North Middletown homeowners, this preventive approach makes sense—it’s much cheaper than emergency repairs and gives you confidence your heat won’t fail when you need it most.
Furnace repair costs in North Middletown typically range from $120 to $300 for most common issues, though some repairs can cost more depending on the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a dirty filter might cost around $50, while more complex repairs like replacing a blower motor can run $400-$600.
The total cost depends on what’s actually broken, not just what symptoms you’re seeing. That’s why we always diagnose the problem first and give you upfront pricing before starting any work. You’ll never get hit with surprise charges or inflated emergency fees, even if we’re fixing your furnace at midnight on the coldest night of the year.
We offer 24/7 emergency furnace repair service throughout North Middletown and Monmouth County. When your heat goes out, especially during winter, we understand it’s not something that can wait until regular business hours.
Our goal is to get a licensed technician to your home as quickly as possible, typically within a few hours of your call. We keep our service vehicles fully stocked with common furnace parts, so there’s a good chance we can get your heat back on during the first visit. If we need to order a specific part, we’ll do everything possible to get you temporary heat while we wait for the repair component to arrive.
Several warning signs indicate your furnace needs professional attention before it completely fails. If you notice uneven heating throughout your home, strange noises like banging or squealing, or unusual smells when your furnace runs, it’s time to call for service.
Rising energy bills without increased usage often signal efficiency problems that repair can fix. Your furnace cycling on and off frequently, taking longer to heat your home, or blowing cold air are also red flags. Most importantly, if you ever smell gas near your furnace, turn off the system immediately and call us right away—this could indicate a dangerous leak that requires immediate professional attention.
The decision depends on your furnace’s age, condition, and repair costs. If your furnace is less than 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new system, repair usually makes sense. For furnaces over 15 years old, especially if you’re facing expensive repairs like heat exchanger replacement, replacement might be more cost-effective.
We’ll give you honest advice based on your specific situation. Sometimes a $300 repair can give you several more years from an older furnace. Other times, continuing to repair an aging system just throws good money after bad. We’ll explain your options clearly so you can make the best decision for your home and budget, without any sales pressure.
Yes, our licensed technicians service all major furnace brands and types, including gas, oil, and electric systems.

Regular maintenance is the best way to prevent unexpected furnace breakdowns and extend your system’s life. At minimum, your furnace filter should be changed every 1-3 months, depending on your home’s conditions. Annual professional tune-ups before heating season help catch problems early and keep your system running efficiently.
During a maintenance visit, we clean and inspect all components, check for carbon monoxide leaks, test safety controls, and calibrate your thermostat. We’ll also check your ductwork for leaks and ensure proper airflow throughout your system. In North Middletown’s coastal environment, we pay special attention to corrosion issues and humidity-related problems that can affect furnace performance. This preventive approach typically saves homeowners hundreds of dollars compared to emergency repairs.
