Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you get out for furnace repair in Novato?

We offer same-day furnace repair across Novato — Bel Marin Keys, Hamilton Field, Ignacio, Indian Valley, and Black Point — so you’re not stuck in a cold house overnight. As a licensed contractor (CA #501853), we arrive ready to diagnose and fix most issues on the first visit.

What does furnace installation in Novato typically involve?

We start with a proper load calculation sized to your home and Novato’s long winter heating season, then recommend a furnace that fits your space and budget — whether you’re replacing an aging gravity unit or upgrading a mid-century Ignacio system. Every install is permitted and done to code by our licensed team (CA #501853).

How often should I schedule furnace maintenance in Novato?

Once a year, ideally in early fall before the cold sets in. Novato’s damp, salty coastal air accelerates corrosion and sensor fouling, so annual maintenance catches worn igniters, dirty flame sensors, and early heat-exchanger issues before they leave you without heat.

My older Novato home has a gravity or 1970s furnace — is it worth repairing or should I replace it?

It depends on age, efficiency, and the heat exchanger’s condition. We give you an honest assessment on-site: if a straightforward repair will safely get you several more seasons, we’ll tell you — and if replacement makes more sense for safety and your PG&E bill, we’ll show you exactly why.

What type of furnace is best for a Novato home?

One of our furnace replacement professionals can come and inspect your home and analyze your heating needs to help decide what type of heater installation would work best for your home.

Why is my furnace blowing cold air?

This could be because of thermostat problems, a clogged air filter that needs to be changed, or issues with the ignition process.

Why does my furnace keep turning on and off?

Short-cycling in a heating installation can happen because the safety sensor is detecting an issue and shutting the system down. Professional heater repair may be required.

Why is my furnace making a banging or rattling noise?

Banging or rattling noises specifically can mean something has broken loose in the system or there is a blower motor issue.

What is included in a furnace tune-up?

Inspecting heat exchangers, gas lines, safety switches, and ignition. Cleaning the blower motor, blower assembly, burners, and replacing the air filter. Testing electrical connections and thermostat. Lubricating any moving parts.
