Gas Furnace Repair in Henrico, VA
If you smell gas, get everyone out of the house first, then call 911 or your gas utility from outside, and call us after. Once the house is safe, gas furnace repair across Henrico usually means a dirty flame sensor, a cracked igniter, a pressure switch reading a blocked flue, or a limit switch cutting out on restricted airflow. We open the burner compartment, read the fault code, and test the safeties before we put it back in service. Call or use the quote form.

What brings Henrico homeowners to this job
- The furnace blows but the air is cool Ignition failure, flame sensor fouling or a gas valve not opening
- It runs a few minutes then shuts off, over and over Short cycling from restricted airflow, an overheating limit switch or a dirty filter
- Nothing happens at all when I turn the heat on Thermostat, control board, transformer or tripped breaker on the circuit
How we decide repair is the right call
We weigh the age of the furnace, the part that failed, and what else is close behind it. A flame sensor, igniter or pressure switch on a mid-life furnace is a straightforward fix and worth doing. A cracked heat exchanger is different, because that is a combustion safety issue and we will shut the unit down and talk replacement. If a furnace is well past its service life and needs a major component, we lay out both paths with what we found and let you decide.
What a gas furnace repair actually involves
A gas furnace has to prove several things before it will run, and any one of them can stop the heat. We start with the call for heat at the thermostat, then follow the sequence through the control board, inducer, pressure switch, igniter, gas valve and flame sensor. Once burners light, we watch how the unit behaves over a full cycle instead of leaving after the first flame. Plenty of failures only appear a few minutes in, when a limit trips or the blower quits early.<br><br>Diagnosis first, parts second.

My furnace lights then shuts off after a minute. What is that?
Usually a dirty flame sensor, a limit trip from restricted airflow, or a venting problem. Change the filter and make sure supply vents are open. If it keeps cycling, book a heating repair visit so we can watch the full sequence.
Should I keep resetting the furnace when it locks out?
Once is reasonable. Repeated resets are not. A lockout means the control board detected a fault, often related to gas, flame or venting, and forcing it to retry can make things worse. Call us instead.

How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form. We ask what changed, when it started, and what the thermostat reads against the actual room temperature. That short conversation tells us what parts to load on the truck.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, the electrical side, airflow through the filter and coil, refrigerant behaviour and the outdoor unit. You get a plain explanation of what failed and why, before any work starts.
- Step 3
Repair and verify
We make the repair, then run the system through a full cycle and measure temperatures at the supply and return. If something upstream caused the failure, we tell you so it does not repeat.

Why homeowners call us
- We know salt airCoastal homes lose condenser coils to salt corrosion years before inland systems do. We look for fin damage and pitted line sets on every visit, because a clean-looking unit can still be shedding capacity from the outside in.
- Humidity is part of the jobHurricane-season air loads a system in ways a temperature reading will not show. If your house feels clammy at 74 degrees, we look at run times, airflow and drainage rather than just adding refrigerant and leaving.
- Crawlspace realitiesHigh water tables mean wet ground under ductwork, rusted plenums and condensate lines with nowhere good to drain. We check what is happening under the floor, since that is often where comfort problems actually begin.
- Straight answersWe tell you what failed, what it will take to fix, and whether a repair makes sense on an older system. No pressure to replace something that has honest years left in it, and no vague diagnosis.

- Straight answersWhen a replacement beats a repair, we tell you, sometimes before we roll a truck.
