Furnace Repairs for All Types of Furnaces
There are generally three types of fuel used to generate power in a furnace: gas, electricity, and oil. At T.E. Spall & Son, our technicians are well-versed and trained to maintain all types of furnaces, regardless of the fuel source it uses. You can rest assured that no matter what type of furnace you have, we can repair it at a fair price and get the job done quickly.
Oil furnaces tend to be found in older homes and are slowly being phased out. These furnaces are generally older and require more maintenance, so many homeowners are switching to gas or electric. Despite this trend, our oil furnace repairs will keep your home warm all winter. Call us as soon as you sense something is wrong to prevent a larger repair or replacement later.
Gas and electric furnaces are the more common types today. While electric furnaces tend to require less maintenance, they’ll likely still need a repair eventually. Our electric or gas furnace repairs will get your furnace up and running in no time and keep your family comfortable.
What We Repair
We’re the repair experts, meaning we can repair any furnace brand at any time. We can repair gas furnaces and oil furnaces, as well as:
When To Schedule Furnace Repair
Sometimes, your furnace may need to be repaired, and you don’t even know it. When it comes to furnace repairs, time is of the essence. You don’t want to get caught in a winter storm without a working furnace. If this happens, call us right away for emergency furnace repairs.
We offer 24-hour furnace repair to ensure that you and your family are kept safe from the elements. If you notice any of these signs, contact T.E. Spall & Son to schedule a repair:
- Your furnace is running continuously: If your furnace is suddenly running continuously, it means it’s not efficiently heating your home. A repair assessment should be performed to determine the cause.
- Your power bills are increasing: This could mean your system isn’t operating as efficiently as it once was. Of course, there’s fluctuation in your energy use and fuel costs, but rarely should you see a massive spike.
- Your circuit breaker trips frequently: This may be caused by an issue in the electrical system of your heating unit.
- Odd noises are coming from your furnace: If you hear odd or loud noises, you should immediately call a furnace repair company. Loud banging, squealing, whirring, or rattling noises aren’t normal and should be inspected by a qualified professional.
- Your home isn’t heating to the set temperature: Failure to heat correctly is a sure sign that something is wrong. Even though there may be some heat coming from the vents, there’s likely a larger problem. This could be caused by anything from clogged filters to something much more serious.
- Odd smells are coming from your system: If you notice smells coming from your vents, furnace repair is likely needed. Anything from a moldy smell or a burning smell to a gas smell should worry you. If you smell gas, you should shut your furnace off immediately, leave your house, and call a furnace repair company and your gas company. Gas leaks are very dangerous and need to be dealt with immediately.
- Your heater won’t turn on: This one is fairly obvious. If your system has stopped working, repair work is needed.
If you notice any of these issues with your furnace, contact the HVAC experts at T.E. Spall & Son to schedule a service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How important is it to change my air filter?
There are many reasons not to skip regular filter changes. As the filter fills with dust, dander, and dirt, it blocks airflow into your furnace. This increases wear and tear on the system, forcing it to work harder to circulate air. In turn, this diminishes energy efficiency, negatively affects indoor air quality, increases repair costs, and shortens the lifespan of your furnace.
How often should I schedule furnace maintenance?
We recommend scheduling annual furnace maintenance every fall. This ensures your system operates at peak performance during the winter. For added protection, many homeowners also schedule spring maintenance to address any issues that develop over the winter.
Is it worth it to repair an older furnace?
It depends on your furnace and the type of repair that’s required. Proper care and maintenance allow furnaces to last between 15 and 30 years. Of course, as the system ages, it will require additional care, including component replacement. If the repair is minor and will improve the unit’s performance, safety, and energy efficiency, then repairs are recommended.
However, if the repair will cost more than 50% of the replacement price or will have a negligible impact on performance, safety, or efficiency, then it may be better to replace it. It’s also essential to consider repair frequency and available tax credits and rebates. If repair frequency is increasing, it’s unlikely to decrease. Also, many tax credits and rebates make it more cost-effective to replace a failing system with one that doesn’t require frequent repairs.
Can I perform my own furnace repairs?
The only repair we recommend homeowners do is changing the air filter. Because there’s an inherent risk of fire, electrocution, or gas leak when servicing a furnace, it’s best to leave all other tasks to a licensed and insured HVAC technician. This preserves warranty coverage and homeowners insurance coverage and also ensures the work is done safely, properly, and in a code-compliant manner.
What are the most common furnace repairs?
Our technicians respond to a full range of needs, including resolving gas leaks, clearing intake pipes and vents, cleaning dirty flame sensors, replacing damaged burners, replacing thermostat batteries, replacing a cracked heat exchanger, and other common malfunctions.
How often should a furnace be professionally serviced?
Scheduling a professional furnace tune-up before winter will ensure your system is in good working condition. Routine maintenance allows our technicians to catch potential issues early and keeps your furnace running efficiently.
What are common signs that my furnace needs repairs?
Common signs include unusual noises, inconsistent heating, higher energy bills, or frequent cycling on and off. If you notice any of these issues, scheduling a professional repair can prevent more costly problems.
How long does a typical furnace repair take?
Most furnace repairs take one to two hours, depending on the issue’s complexity. More severe problems, however, can take several hours or even a day. Either way, these repairs ensure your home stays warm and minimize the risk of further damage to your heating system.
