Igniter or flame sensor failure
The furnace tries to light, then shuts off. A cracked igniter or dirty sensor is a frequent cause.
Our technicians find the real reason your furnace stopped, explain it clearly and quote the fix before starting. Emergency help is available 24/7.
No heat, no hot water or a gas smell? Call any time, day or night.
A furnace that will not start, keeps shutting off or blows cold air is more than an inconvenience in a Lower Mainland winter. Pipes can freeze during a cold snap, and families with babies or older relatives need heat quickly. Our furnace repair service starts with a proper diagnosis: we test the controls, ignition, gas supply, safety switches and venting so we are fixing the cause rather than swapping parts and hoping.
Modern furnaces have a control board that flashes a code when something trips. That code is a clue, not an answer. A pressure switch fault, for example, might mean a failing inducer motor, a blocked condensate drain or a vent pipe clogged with a bird's nest. Once we know the cause, you get options with a clear price, and you decide what happens next.
These faults account for most of the no-heat calls we receive.
The furnace tries to light, then shuts off. A cracked igniter or dirty sensor is a frequent cause.
Humming with no airflow, burning smells or a blower that runs constantly point to motor or capacitor trouble.
Often caused by a weak inducer, blocked vent or clogged condensate line, rather than the switch itself.
Power surges, moisture and age can damage boards and connections, leaving the furnace dead or erratic.
Wrong settings, dead batteries or a failed thermostat can mimic a furnace fault.
Restricted airflow makes the furnace overheat and shut itself down to stay safe.

We confirm the furnace is venting and burning safely before we leave.
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
It can be, especially in freezing weather, with young children or older family members at home, or when pipes are at risk. Call (236) 222-2222 and we will help you decide how urgent it is.
The blower may be running while the burners fail to light, often because of a dirty flame sensor, failed igniter or a safety switch trip. A thermostat fan setting of On instead of Auto can also cause cool air between cycles.
Most furnaces have an LED on the control board that blinks a code. The door panel usually has a chart explaining the codes. Note the pattern before you call so the technician can prepare.
Consider the age of the furnace, the cost of the repair, how often it breaks down and its efficiency. If it is near the end of its expected life and needs a major part, replacement often makes more sense. We will lay out both options clearly.
Get everyone outside right away and call 911 from outside. Do not go back in until emergency responders say it is safe. Then have the furnace and other gas appliances inspected before using them again.
