Furnace Repair & Maintenance Services in South Bend, Indiana

There are several warning signs that indicate your furnace may need professional repair, including:

• No heat or weak airflow from vents.
• Unusual noises, such as banging, rattling, or screeching.
• Frequent cycling, where the furnace turns on and off repeatedly.
• Cold spots or uneven heating throughout your home.
• A burning or musty smell coming from the vents.
• A sudden increase in energy bills without increased usage.

If you notice any of these issues, contact All Temp Heating & Cooling for a professional furnace inspection and repair.

If your furnace stops running, try these steps before calling for service:

1. Check the thermostat to ensure it's set to heat and at the correct temperature.
2. Inspect the furnace filter—a dirty filter can restrict airflow and cause the system to shut down.
3. Check the circuit breaker to ensure power is running to the furnace.
4. Look at the pilot light (for gas furnaces) to see if it’s lit.
5. Contact a professional if these steps don’t resolve the issue.

Furnace noises often indicate an underlying issue:

• Banging or popping – May be caused by delayed ignition or expanding ducts.
• Squealing or screeching – Likely due to a worn-out blower belt or motor bearings.
• Rattling or vibrating – Can indicate loose components inside the furnace.
• Clicking or buzzing – Could be an electrical issue with the igniter or control board.

If your furnace is making unusual noises, schedule a repair appointment before the issue worsens.

No! If you smell gas, turn off the furnace immediately, leave your home, and call your gas company. A gas leak is a serious safety hazard and should only be handled by licensed professionals.

Furnace repair costs depend on the type of repair, system age, and complexity of the issue. Minor repairs (like thermostat fixes or filter replacements) are more affordable, while major component failures (such as a broken blower motor or heat exchanger) may cost more.

We offer transparent pricing and financing options for larger repairs.

For best results, schedule furnace maintenance at least once per year, ideally in the fall before winter starts. If you use your furnace heavily, a bi-annual maintenance schedule (fall and mid-winter) can help ensure maximum efficiency.

Skipping furnace maintenance can lead to:

• Higher energy bills due to reduced efficiency.
• More frequent breakdowns and costly repairs.
• A shorter lifespan—lack of maintenance can reduce furnace life by several years.
• Poor air quality from clogged filters and dirty air ducts.

Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected failures and keeps your furnace running efficiently.
