With proper maintenance, most furnaces last 15–20 years. If your system is under 15 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new furnace, repair usually makes sense. However, if you’re dealing with frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, or major component failures like a cracked heat exchanger, replacement might be more cost-effective. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your furnace’s condition and help you understand all your options without any pressure to choose the more expensive route.
In Halifax’s climate, we see several recurring issues. Dirty or clogged filters cause many problems, especially during heavy-use winter months. Thermostat malfunctions are common, often due to wiring issues or calibration problems. Pilot light and ignition problems happen frequently with gas furnaces, while oil furnaces often have issues with clogged nozzles or fuel line problems. Blower motor issues and belt problems also occur regularly. Many of these problems can be prevented with annual maintenance, which is why we recommend tune-ups before each heating season.
We understand that furnace emergencies can’t wait, especially during Massachusetts winters. We offer same-day service for most emergency calls and prioritize situations where families have no heat. Our response time depends on the time of day and current service volume, but we always work to get to emergency calls as quickly as possible. Dempsey Comfort Club members receive priority scheduling, which means faster response times during peak demand periods. We also carry common repair parts on our trucks, so many emergency repairs can be completed during the first visit.
We strongly recommend against DIY furnace repairs for safety reasons. Furnaces involve gas lines, electrical connections, and combustion systems that can be dangerous if handled incorrectly. However, there are a few simple things you can check before calling for service: make sure your thermostat is set correctly, check that your circuit breaker hasn’t tripped, and verify that your furnace filter isn’t completely clogged. If these basic checks don’t solve the problem, it’s time to call a professional. Attempting complicated repairs yourself can void your warranty and potentially create safety hazards.
Annual furnace maintenance is essential for reliable operation and energy efficiency. The best time to schedule your tune-up is early fall, before you need your heat regularly. This timing allows us to catch and resolve problems before they cause emergency breakdowns during cold weather. During maintenance, we clean components, check all connections, test safety systems, and make adjustments that keep your furnace running efficiently. Regular maintenance typically extends your furnace’s lifespan, reduces energy costs, and prevents many common repair issues. It also keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid.
First, check your thermostat settings and make sure it’s calling for heat. Verify that your furnace’s power switch is on and check your electrical panel for tripped breakers. Look at your furnace filter—if it’s extremely dirty, replace it. For gas furnaces, make sure your gas supply hasn’t been interrupted. Call for expert assistance and turn off your furnace if these actions fail to bring back the heat. Don’t attempt to restart your system multiple times, as the process can cause additional problems. If you smell gas, leave your home immediately and call your gas company’s emergency line before calling for furnace repair.
