Furnace repair

Understand the cause and the scope

For fuel-burning equipment, the evaluation considers the ignition sequence, controls, venting, and other relevant components. A repeated reset is a symptom to investigate. If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the building and contact emergency services or your gas utility from outside.

Make a confident decision

Describe what the system does when it starts and whether a display shows an error. Leave panels and safety controls intact. Ask for the repair scope and any concerns about the condition of the rest of the furnace.

Built for Gulf Coast conditions

Southwest Louisiana systems work through long cooling seasons, high humidity, salt-influenced air, storms and heavy rainfall. The recommendation should consider drainage, corrosion exposure, airflow and recovery after outages—not equipment capacity alone.

Equipment and registration

S&S is a Carrier - Tempstar Elite Dealer and an approved Trane Dealer. Ask which brand and model fit the project. Manufacturer registration controls eligibility for extended parts coverage. S&S submits registration where possible; the customer should retain and check the manufacturer confirmation. The manufacturer’s written eligibility and warranty terms control.

Parts coverage and workmanship coverage

Manufacturer parts coverage and S&S workmanship coverage are separate. A manufacturer parts warranty covers the part only; diagnostic labor, refrigerant, freight and miscellaneous materials are billable unless covered under the S&S labor warranty. Standard S&S coverage is one year on installation workmanship and 90 days on repairs, unless a longer period is stated in writing on the estimate or purchased as an extended labor plan. Covered workmanship corrections include labor during normal business hours. Maintenance requirements, exclusions and other written conditions apply.

Describe where the heating sequence changes

Tell us what happens after you request heat: nothing starts, the system begins and stops, air moves without useful warmth, or the problem appears after a period of operation. A visible error message can be helpful if it can be read with the cabinet closed. Record the pattern instead of repeatedly resetting the furnace.

Share any recent work involving the thermostat, gas service, electrical supply, or building around the equipment. Keep the normal service area accessible, but leave internal panels, ignition components, and safety controls alone. If there is a gas smell or carbon monoxide alarm, leave and contact emergency services or the utility from outside.

Ask what is repaired and what condition remains

The repair explanation should identify the failed function, the proposed correction, and any separate concern that affects the decision. If a major component is involved, ask to compare repair with replacement using complete scopes and applicable coverage.

Ask how the approved work will be checked afterward and whether the technician has recommendations for the rest of the heating system. Save any operating instructions and follow-up findings. A repaired ignition or control issue does not, by itself, describe the condition of every other furnace component.
