A furnace that won't ignite, short-cycles, or trips its limit switch repeatedly needs more than a reset — it needs a technician checking the ignitor, flame sensor, and heat exchanger. Every Furnace Repair visit includes a carbon monoxide safety check before we leave, not an upsell.

Furnace failures cluster heavily around a handful of parts — ignitors, flame sensors, gas valves, and heat exchangers — and most no-heat calls come down to one of those four. Each gets tested with real equipment — multimeter, microamp readings, combustion analysis — instead of parts-cannon guessing.
Safety and accuracy on every heating call.
A CO safety check with a combustion analyzer is part of every visit, not an optional add-on.
No-heat calls during cold snaps get priority routing over routine maintenance stops when temperatures drop, especially in peak winter.
Ignitor or heat exchanger, the price is quoted and approved before work begins.
Whether the furnace runs on gas or electric heat strips, our techs are trained on both, so the fuel type never determines who gets sent.
Six repairs that cover most of our winter service calls.
Cracked ignitors and carbon-fouled flame sensors account for a large share of no-heat calls, and both are usually same-visit fixes.
We test gas valve response and pressure output rather than replacing an expensive part on a hunch, since these parts are costly enough to warrant confirming the fault first.
Because a cracked heat exchanger can leak combustion byproducts into the home's air, we inspect it carefully with a scope and analyzer rather than assuming based on age alone.
Short-cycling or mid-cycle shutdowns frequently trace back to the limit switch or a struggling blower motor — we test both before condemning the control board.
Older furnaces with standing pilots have their own failure points — thermocouples, pilot orifices, draft issues — that we're equipped to handle that newer ignition systems don't have.
A furnace that won't respond at all to the thermostat is sometimes a wiring or control issue, not a furnace failure — we rule this out early to avoid overcharging for parts you don't need.

Four steps, safety checked at every one.
Describe the symptom — no heat, short-cycling, a smell — and we schedule the nearest available tech.
A stocked truck arrives in your confirmed window ready to diagnose and often repair on the spot.
We run the safety and diagnostic checks first, then present a flat-rate quote for your approval.
Repairs typically wrap same visit, and we re-check CO levels before signing off, backed by our labor warranty.
Feedback from completed furnace repairs.
Furnace kept shutting off every twenty minutes. Their technician found a dirty flame sensor and cleaned it, been running fine for two months now.

They caught a hairline crack in the heat exchanger during a routine repair call and walked me through the safety concern honestly, not to upsell.
— V. Ashworth, homeowner
No heat during the coldest week of the year, they got someone out same day and had it fixed within an hour, ignitor replacement.
— Q. Delrio, homeowner
Old standing pilot furnace that most companies don't want to touch anymore. They knew exactly what they were doing, thermocouple was the issue.

What Wenham customers ask most.
Clicking or humming without ignition often points to the ignitor, though we always confirm with a proper resistance reading before quoting.
Yes — it can allow combustion gases to mix with breathing air, which is why we test carefully and won't run the furnace if confirmed cracked, so we take the inspection seriously and won't operate a confirmed-cracked unit.
Yes, a combustion analyzer reading is part of every Furnace Repair service, included in the visit, no extra charge.
We still service standing-pilot units, including thermocouple and draft-related repairs.
We prioritize no-heat situations, usually landing a same-day slot even during high-demand cold weather.
Most common parts — ignitors, flame sensors, control boards — are stocked, but rare parts may need next-day ordering to complete the repair.
