A LITTLE CLARITY GOES A LONG WAY

What’s happening with your furnace?

01

It won’t start

Ignition or thermostat trouble can prevent heat from starting. Testing helps identify the failed component.

02

It starts, then stops

Flame-sensor problems or overheating from restricted airflow can interrupt a heating cycle.

03

Airflow is weak or noisy

Blower problems can reduce airflow and cause loud operation. We assess the equipment before recommending repairs.

YOUR OPTIONS, EXPLAINED

If testing reveals a heat exchanger or other safety concern, we’ll explain it directly and help compare the available options.

FROM THE FIRST CALL TO THE FINAL CHECK

02

Compare repair routes

We explain essential repairs, preventive work, or replacement when appropriate, with exact pricing for each option.

03

Repair and verify

We complete the selected work and test furnace operation, then answer questions about ongoing care.

THE DETAILS, WHEN YOU NEED THEM

Your questions. Answered.

How Do I Know If My Furnace Needs Repair?

Signs that your furnace may need professional attention include inconsistent heating, unusual noises, weak airflow, frequent cycling, rising energy bills, strange odors, or a complete loss of heat.

Why Is My Furnace Running but Not Producing Heat?

This issue can be caused by thermostat problems, ignition failures, airflow restrictions, dirty components, electrical faults, or malfunctioning safety controls. The culprit can be many things, which is why we conduct comprehensive inspections to make certain we pinpoint the root issue with furnace failures.

Do You Repair All Furnace Brands?

Our NATE-certified technicians service and repair all major furnace makes and models, including Lennox and other leading manufacturers.

Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

The answer depends on the age of the system, the extent of the problem, repair costs, and overall performance. We can provide honest guidance that enables you to make an informed decision about safeguarding your comfort.

How Often Should I Replace My Furnace Filter?

Your standard one-inch filters should be replaced every one to three months, particularly during the heating season. Four-inch media filters can last half a year or more.

Can a Dirty Air Filter Cause Furnace Problems?

A clogged filter can restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, increase wear and tear, and, in some situations, even cause the system to shut down.

Is a Yellow Furnace Flame Dangerous?

A yellow or orange flame (instead of one that’s blue) is a problem. It can stem from incomplete combustion, which produces carbon monoxide. This is a safety concern. If you notice this, turn off your furnace and call for service immediately.

What Can I Do to Prevent Future Furnace Repairs?

Scheduling annual furnace maintenance is one of the best ways to improve reliability, maintain efficiency, and get ahead of small problems before they become larger. With our Whole Home Care Membership, getting the routine care your system needs is simple and affordable.

Furnace Not Heating Properly? We Can Help.

The winters in our part of California get cold. When temperatures drop into the 30s at night, a failing furnace isn't just uncomfortable. It can become a serious problem that needs immediate attention.

You can confidently turn to JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air for any kind of furnace issue, including these:

  • Igniter failure (no heat, system won't start)
  • Blower motor problems (weak airflow, loud noises)
  • Flame sensor issues (system starts then shuts off)
  • Thermostat malfunctions (erratic cycling)
  • Cracked heat exchanger (safety concern posing carbon monoxide risks)
  • Clogged filters (causes overheating and shutdowns)

Some of these issues are simple to fix. Others are more serious and may require in-depth work. We've been repairing furnaces since 1981. Our technicians diagnose problems with meters and gauges, not guesswork. Before we ever get started, you’ll know exactly what’s gone wrong and what it will take to fix it.

Our Four-Step Furnace Repair Process

We’re here to make getting your heat back on as streamlined as possible. When you trust us to repair your heater, you can expect the following.

Thorough System Diagnosis

Safety comes first, so we’ll start with a combustion analysis and carbon monoxide check. If there's a cracked heat exchanger or venting issue, we’ll tell you immediately.

Then, we’ll move to full system diagnostics, assessing:

  • Gas pressure and valve operation
  • Ignition system testing
  • Blower motor amp draw
  • Thermostat signal verification
  • Airflow measurement
  • Flue gas analysis

This comprehensive approach will allow us to find the root cause, not just the obvious symptoms.

Clear Recommendations & Upfront Pricing

Once we've diagnosed the problem, we'll explain exactly what's happening and discuss your options.

Generally, we’ll propose three repair routes:

  1. Essential services to restore heat
  2. Recommended repairs, plus preventive work
  3. Furnace replacement, should this be the most cost-effective

Each option will come with exact pricing. You’ll be able to choose what fits your budget and situation.

If we find a cracked heat exchanger or other safety issue, we'll be direct: some repairs aren't worth it. We'll show you the numbers and let you decide.

If you need financing for a larger project, we can approve you on the spot.

Professional Repair

With our fully stocked service vehicles, we can often complete repairs in just one day. We use quality parts and proven repair techniques to restore reliable system performance. If an issue may take longer to repair, we’ll let you know and give you a timeline for when you can expect the job to be finished.

Testing & Verification

Before we leave, we’ll test your furnace to make sure it’s operating safely and efficiently. We'll also answer questions and provide recommendations for maintaining your heater.
