Furnace house calls
Furnaces here sit idle through long, humid summers, then get asked to run on the season's coldest morning, and in houses this age that is when a worn part gives out. Call ahead of the cold: we find the fault, quote the whole job before we start and clean up when we're done.
Estimates are free and commit you to nothing.

How a repair goes
Furnace repair for homes and businesses here follows the same four steps as every job we take: inspect, price, repair and test.
The houses here
The median house here was built in 1984, so the ductwork, wiring and gas lines behind many furnaces have been in place for decades.
That age shapes the repair. Ducts run through crawlspaces and attics, venting has been patched over the years, and a replacement part has to suit an older cabinet, so we check the connections around the fault as well as the fault itself.
From the streets around Mount Trashmore Park out to the farm roads and the shore
Winters here are mild and damp rather than long and frozen, so a furnace works in short bursts through cold snaps and sits idle for weeks in between.
That stop-and-start duty is hard on igniters, sensors and the blower. A furnace that quits in a cold snap has usually shown a warning in the milder weeks before it.
Worth a call before the cold
Beyond the furnace
More jobs we take on in the same houses, each with a page of its own.
Air conditioners near Croatan Beach and the rest of the oceanfront run in salty, humid air that wears on condenser coils and fan motors, so an AC that falls behind on the hottest afternoons often has a coil or a "run capacitor" to blame.
AC RepairMost homes here are lived in by the people who own them, and an owner who has the system looked at on a schedule, heat in the fall and cooling in the spring, catches worn parts before they become a no-heat call.
HVAC ServicesIn houses the age of most of the stock here, the furnace and the air conditioner often share old ductwork, a tired blower and an aging thermostat, so a fault in those shared parts slows heating and cooling alike.
