More Than Just Emergency Fixes

Furnace repair covers everything from ignition problems and blower motor issues to thermostat malfunctions and ductwork problems. Whether you have a gas furnace, oil furnace, or electric heating system, the diagnosis starts with evaluating what’s actually causing your heating problem.

Fall River’s mix of older and newer homes means dealing with everything from vintage oil burners to modern high-efficiency gas units. Each system has its quirks, common failure points, and maintenance needs.

Regular furnace servicing catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies. An annual tune-up includes cleaning, safety checks, and efficiency adjustments that keep your heating bills reasonable and your system running reliably through winter.

How quickly can you get to my house for emergency furnace repair?

Most emergency calls in Fall River get same-day service, especially during business hours. Winter heating emergencies get priority scheduling because we know you can’t wait days for heat when it’s freezing outside. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call and keep you updated if anything changes. Priority scheduling is available to Dempsey Comfort Club members, ensuring they receive priority when multiple calls arise during cold snaps.

Do you work on both gas and oil furnaces?

Yes, our technicians handle both gas and oil heating systems, plus electric furnaces and heat pumps. Fall River has many older homes with oil heat, and we’re very familiar with those systems and their common issues. We also work on newer gas furnaces and can help if you’re thinking about converting from oil to gas. Each fuel type has different maintenance needs and potential problems, so we stock parts and have experience with what typically goes wrong with each system.

What does a furnace tune-up include and how often do I need one?

A complete furnace tune-up includes cleaning the heat exchanger, checking all electrical connections, testing safety controls, inspecting the venting system, and adjusting the burner for efficient operation. We also check your air filter, thermostat calibration, and overall system performance. Most furnaces need annual service, ideally in early fall before you start using heat regularly. Oil furnaces typically need more frequent attention than gas units. Regular maintenance catches small problems early and keeps your system running efficiently, which saves money on heating bills.

How do I know if I need furnace repair or replacement?

Age is the biggest factor—furnaces over 15-20 years old that need expensive repairs are often better candidates for replacement. If your heating bills keep climbing, you’re calling for repairs frequently, or some rooms won’t stay warm, those are signs your furnace is struggling. We’ll always give you honest advice about whether a repair makes financial sense or if you’re throwing good money after bad. Sometimes a $200 repair buys you several more years, and sometimes an $800 repair on an outdated system just delays the inevitable.

Why is my furnace running but not producing enough heat?

Several things cause weak heat output: dirty air filters restrict airflow, malfunctioning blower motors don’t move air properly, or blocked vents prevent heat from reaching your rooms. On gas furnaces, dirty burners or heat exchangers reduce efficiency. Oil furnaces might have nozzle problems or combustion issues. Ductwork problems like leaks or blockages also reduce heating performance. We start with the simple stuff like filters and thermostats, then work through the mechanical components to find what’s limiting your heat output.

What should I do if my furnace stops working completely?

First, check your thermostat settings and make sure it’s calling for heat. Look at your circuit breaker to see if it tripped, and check that your furnace power switch didn’t get turned off accidentally. If you have oil heat, make sure you have fuel in your tank. Gas furnaces sometimes have pilot light issues you can see by looking at the unit. Don’t try to fix anything mechanical yourself—call us for diagnosis and repair. If you smell gas or anything unusual, turn off the system and call immediately. Most “dead” furnaces have fixable problems, but they need proper diagnosis to avoid making things worse.
