When your heating system fails on a cold Tri-Valley night, PCG Climate responds with fast, knowledgeable repair service. Our technicians troubleshoot gas furnaces, heat pumps, electric heaters, and wall units, arriving with the tools and common parts needed to restore warmth to your home quickly.

Heating problems can range from minor thermostat issues to serious heat exchanger cracks that pose safety concerns. Our diagnostic process starts with the basics -- checking thermostat settings, power supply, and gas valve position -- then moves systematically through the ignition system, flame sensor, blower motor, and heat exchanger. We use combustion analyzers to verify safe operation of gas heating equipment and check carbon monoxide levels to protect your family. Every repair is performed to manufacturer specifications, and we test the system through a full heating cycle before signing off.

Heating Repair FAQ

Why is my heater blowing cold air?
Common causes include a tripped flame sensor, a faulty ignition system, a blocked vent or flue, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Some systems blow cold air briefly at startup while the heat exchanger warms up, which is normal. If it persists, a professional diagnosis is needed.
Is a cracked heat exchanger dangerous?
Yes, a cracked heat exchanger can leak carbon monoxide into your home. If you suspect a crack or your CO detector goes off, turn off the furnace immediately, ventilate your home, and call for service right away.
How much does heating repair typically cost?
Basic repairs like a new flame sensor or ignitor typically cost between $150 and $350. More involved repairs like a blower motor or control board replacement can range from $400 to $800. We always provide an estimate before starting work.
