A furnace that won't ignite, short-cycles, or keeps tripping its limit switch needs more than a reset in Bethesda winters. A CO check happens on every call, standard, not an upsell.
A short list of components causes most Furnace Repair calls: ignitor, flame sensor, gas valve, heat exchanger. Each gets tested with a multimeter and combustion analyzer, not replaced on a hunch, not parts-cannon guessing.
What doesn't change from visit to visit.
Every repair includes a CO check, not optional.
No-heat calls in Bethesda get priority routing over routine work during cold snaps when it's cold.
A fixed price is set before repairs start.
Both fuel types get the same trained tech, no exceptions.
The most common furnace failure points.
Cracked ignitors and carbon-fouled sensors cause a large share of no-heat calls, usually a same-visit fix.
We test actual response and pressure output rather than replacing an expensive part on a hunch before we recommend replacing it.
A cracked heat exchanger can leak combustion byproducts into the airflow — we inspect with a scope and analyzer rather than assuming based on age.
We test both before condemning the control board.
Older Bethesda furnaces with standing pilots have their own failure points — thermocouples, pilot orifices, draft issues that newer ignition doesn't have.
Zero response from the furnace can mean a wiring fault, not a furnace failure to avoid overcharging for parts you don't need.

Tell us what the furnace is doing and we'll get someone moving.
A stocked truck arrives ready to diagnose and often repair same visit.
Safety and diagnostic checks come first, then a flat-rate quote.
Most repairs finish same visit, with a final CO check before we leave, backed by warranty.
Feedback from completed furnace repairs.
Pilot light kept going out on our older furnace every few days. Tech identified a failing thermocouple that two other companies had overlooked.
— H. Delacroix, homeowner
Furnace made a loud bang on startup that scared the whole family. Turned out to be a delayed ignition issue from a dirty burner, cleaned and resolved same visit.
— F. Ibekwe, homeowner
Called about a gas smell near the furnace closet and they had someone here within the hour to confirm it was safe before doing any repair work.
— Q. Whitmore, homeowner
Landlord here with an older building, they've kept three separate furnace units running through two winters without a single emergency callout.
