A furnace that won't ignite, short-cycles, or keeps tripping its limit switch needs more than a reset in Swarthmore winters. Every visit includes a carbon monoxide safety check, standard, not an upsell.
Furnace failures in Swarthmore cluster around a handful of parts — ignitors, flame sensors, gas valves, heat exchangers. Each gets tested with a multimeter and combustion analyzer, not replaced on a hunch, not parts-cannon guessing.
What doesn't change from visit to visit.
Every repair includes a CO check, not optional.
We bump no-heat calls ahead of routine visits when it's cold.
Ignitor or heat exchanger, the price is quoted and approved before work begins.
Both fuel types get the same trained tech, no exceptions.
The most common furnace failure points.
These two parts are behind most no-heat visits, usually a same-visit fix.
Gas valve testing confirms the fault before we recommend replacing it.
A cracked heat exchanger can leak combustion byproducts into the airflow — we inspect with a scope and analyzer rather than assuming based on age.
Short-cycling or mid-cycle shutdowns often trace to the limit switch or a struggling blower before condemning the control board.
We still service older standing-pilot systems that newer ignition doesn't have.
We rule out wiring issues first to avoid overcharging for parts you don't need.
What happens from your call to heat restored.
Describe the symptom and we route the nearest tech and we'll get someone moving.
Truck arrives stocked with common ignitor, flame sensor, and control parts ready to diagnose and often repair same visit.
Safety and diagnostic checks come first, then a flat-rate quote.
Most repairs finish same visit, with a final CO check before we leave, backed by warranty.
Recent reviews from winter heating calls.
Pilot light kept going out on our older furnace every few days. Tech identified a failing thermocouple that two other companies had overlooked.
— H. Delacroix, homeowner
Furnace made a loud bang on startup that scared the whole family. Turned out to be a delayed ignition issue from a dirty burner, cleaned and resolved same visit.
— F. Ibekwe, homeowner
Called about a gas smell near the furnace closet and they had someone here within the hour to confirm it was safe before doing any repair work.
— Q. Whitmore, homeowner
Landlord here with an older building, they've kept three separate furnace units running through two winters without a single emergency callout.
