Why is my furnace blowing cold air?

A furnace blowing cold air is usually caused by an overheating issue that trips the high-limit switch, a faulty flame sensor that shuts off the burners, a failed igniter, or a dirty air filter restricting airflow. A technician can diagnose the exact cause quickly with proper testing.

How long does a furnace repair take?

Most furnace repairs take 1–2 hours once a technician is on site. Simple repairs like igniter or flame sensor replacement can be done in under an hour. More complex repairs involving the heat exchanger, control board, or gas valve may take 2–3 hours.

Is it safe to run my furnace if it's making a banging noise?

No — a banging or booming noise when the furnace starts is often caused by delayed ignition, which can crack the heat exchanger over time. A cracked heat exchanger can allow carbon monoxide to enter your home. Turn off the furnace and call a technician immediately.
