Furnace Not Working? We've Seen It Before.

ALJ technicians diagnose and repair all common furnace failures — often the same day you call, with parts already on the truck.

No Heat at All

Furnace won't start or runs but produces no warm air. Could be igniter, gas valve, control board, or flame sensor failure.

Short Cycling

Furnace turns on and off repeatedly without completing a full heating cycle. Often caused by overheating, dirty filters, or control issues.

Ignition Failure

Furnace attempts to light but flame won't establish or hold. Hot surface igniter, pilot light, or flame sensor replacement is usually the fix.

Strange Noises

Banging, screeching, rattling, or rumbling sounds. Could be blower motor, loose components, expanding ducts, or delayed ignition.

Yellow Pilot Flame

Pilot flame should be blue. A yellow or orange flame can indicate a carbon monoxide risk. Shut the furnace off and call immediately.

High Energy Bills

Furnace is running but efficiency has dropped sharply. Often dirty heat exchanger, aging components, or a system that's past its useful life.

Uneven Heating

Some rooms are warm, others stay cold. Could be duct issues, blower problems, or a failing heat exchanger not distributing heat evenly.

Blower Running Constantly

Blower motor runs non-stop even when the house is at temperature. Usually a thermostat setting issue or limit switch failure.

You approve the repair. We complete it — most jobs done in the same visit. Your heat is back on. No hidden charges.

We'll Tell You the Honest Truth

Some HVAC companies always recommend replacement. We don't. We give you the honest assessment — and the math to back it up.

Repair Makes Sense When…

  • The furnace is under 15 years old
  • The repair cost is less than 50% of replacement value
  • The system has otherwise been reliable
  • The issue is a single component failure
  • Energy bills haven't risen significantly

Replacement May Be Better When…

  • The furnace is 15–20+ years old
  • Repair costs exceed 50% of a new system's cost
  • Multiple components are failing or have recently failed
  • Heating bills have increased significantly in recent years
  • A cracked heat exchanger is detected

ALJ will always give you both options with honest numbers. If repair makes more sense, we'll tell you. If replacement is the smarter long-term investment, we'll show you the math. We never push replacement for the sake of a bigger ticket. Call us at 518-416-3356 for an honest assessment.

How quickly can ALJ respond to a furnace emergency in Albany?

Same-day. We prioritize no-heat calls and aim to have a technician at your door the same day you call. Call 518-416-3356 immediately.

For heating failures, call us as soon as the problem occurs. Don't wait to see if it resolves itself — furnace issues only get worse, and Albany winters don't give you time to delay. We answer every call, dispatch fast, and communicate arrival times clearly.

What furnace brands do you repair in Albany?

All brands — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, Bryant, York, Amana, Daikin, Bosch, Weil-McLain, Burnham, and all others.

We service every major residential furnace brand. Our technicians are trained across all major manufacturers, and we carry common replacement parts for the most widely used systems in the Albany area. If you're not sure whether we can fix your specific unit, call and we'll confirm before scheduling.

What does furnace repair typically cost in Albany?

Minor repairs (igniter, thermostat, flame sensor): $150–$350. Larger repairs (control board, heat exchanger, blower motor): $400–$900. You'll receive a written estimate before work begins.

Furnace repair costs vary significantly by what needs to be done. We can't give you an accurate number until a technician has diagnosed the problem. What we promise is that you'll receive a complete written estimate before we start — and what we quote is what you pay. No surprises.

Do you repair oil furnaces as well as gas?

Yes — we repair gas, oil, and propane furnaces throughout Albany and the Capital Region.

Both fuel types are common in the Albany area, particularly in older homes. Our technicians are experienced with all fuel types and the specific components associated with each — burners, nozzles, fuel filters, and ignition systems for both oil and gas systems.

How do I know if my furnace needs repair or replacement?

Repair makes sense for systems under 15 years old with a single component failure. Replacement is usually better for systems 15+ years old, with repair costs exceeding 50% of replacement value, or with rising energy bills.

When an ALJ technician diagnoses your furnace, we give you both options clearly — what repair costs today, what a replacement costs, and how long it takes energy savings to offset the difference. We never steer you toward replacement for the sake of a bigger ticket. The recommendation will always be what genuinely makes the most financial sense for you.

Can you usually repair my furnace the same day I call?

In most cases, yes. We carry common parts on our trucks and complete most furnace repairs in a single visit the same day you call.

Our goal is always to restore your heat in the same visit — which is why we stock common parts for the most frequently repaired furnace components. For less common parts, we'll get them as quickly as possible and prioritize your follow-up appointment. Call 518-416-3356 as early as possible to maximize same-day availability.
