When a furnace quits in the middle of a DC cold snap, it's not a problem that can wait until next week. We provide fast, dependable furnace repair across Washington, DC and the surrounding neighborhoods, from Capitol Hill and Petworth to Georgetown and Anacostia. Whether you heat with natural gas or electric, our licensed and insured technicians diagnose the real cause of the failure and fix it right the first time.
No two furnace problems are exactly alike. Sometimes it's a furnace blowing cold air, a system that short-cycles on and off, or a unit that won't fire up at all. Other times the warning signs are quieter, like rising heating bills or strange noises from the blower. We've seen it all in DC homes, and we explain what's actually going on in plain language so you can make a confident decision about the repair.
Safety comes first on every call. Gas furnaces can develop hazards like a cracked heat exchanger, which can leak carbon monoxide into your home, so we test for it as part of our process. You'll always get upfront, flat-rate pricing before any work begins, plus a satisfaction guarantee that stands behind the job long after we leave.

Washington, DC note: Many DC homes are older row houses with tucked-away gas furnaces in basements, closets, or crawl spaces, and aging units there are especially prone to dirty flame sensors and cracked heat exchangers. We're careful in tight, finished spaces and will flag any code or venting concerns we spot during the repair.
