Huge shouout to Mike and the quality of work performed. Mike was prompt in answering phone calls and any questions I had. The installation of the heat pump was completed in a day's work and we are extremely happy with the results! Mike was not only proffesional with conducting his business, but saved us thousands when compared to quotes from other companies. I would recommend Friesen's in an instant to anyone looking for an affordable heating solution to their new or older home.

Common Furnace Problems We Fix

Your furnace plays a vital role in keeping your home warm and comfortable, but like any mechanical system, it can develop issues over time. At Friesen’s Heating & Air Conditioning, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing a wide range of furnace problems quickly and efficiently. Here are some of the most common furnace issues we fix:

    • Uneven Heating: Are some rooms in your home warmer than others? Uneven heating can result from clogged filters, blocked vents, or ductwork issues. Our team will pinpoint the cause and restore consistent warmth throughout your home.
    • Strange Noises: Banging, rattling, or squealing sounds from your furnace often indicate loose components, motor problems, or airflow issues. We’ll identify the source of the noise and resolve it to prevent further damage.
    • Short Cycling: If your furnace turns on and off frequently without completing a heating cycle, it could be due to an overheating issue or a malfunctioning thermostat. We’ll address the root cause to ensure your system runs smoothly.
    • Ignition Problems: Difficulty starting the furnace or maintaining a pilot light can signal issues with the ignition system or thermocouple. Our technicians will repair or replace faulty components to get your furnace running reliably.
    • Thermostat Malfunctions: A malfunctioning thermostat can disrupt your furnace’s performance and prevent it from maintaining the desired temperature. We’ll test and recalibrate or replace your thermostat as needed.

No matter the problem, our experienced HVAC technicians use advanced diagnostic tools and proven repair methods to restore your furnace’s functionality. Trust Friesen’s Heating & Air Conditioning to keep your home warm and comfortable all winter long!

Signs Your Furnace Needs Repairs

A furnace that’s not functioning properly can lead to discomfort and higher energy costs, but knowing the warning signs can help you address issues before they escalate. At Friesen’s Heating & Air Conditioning, we want to ensure your home stays warm and cozy by helping you recognize when it’s time to call for furnace repairs. Here are the most common signs your furnace needs attention:

    • Higher Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your heating costs may indicate your furnace is working harder than usual due to mechanical issues or inefficiency.
    • Strange Odors: Unusual smells, such as burning or musty odors, could mean there’s a problem with the furnace’s components, ductwork, or air filters.
    • Reduced Airflow: Weak airflow from your vents can result from clogged filters, ductwork issues, or a failing blower motor.
    • Inconsistent Heating: If some areas of your home are too hot while others remain cold, your furnace may need repairs to restore even heating.
    • Furnace Won’t Turn On: If your furnace doesn’t start or has difficulty staying on, it could be due to ignition problems, thermostat issues, or electrical faults.
    • Strange Noises: Rattling, banging, or squealing sounds are clear indicators that something is wrong inside your furnace and requires immediate attention.

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to more extensive (and costly) damage. If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait—contact Friesen’s Heating & Air Conditioning for expert furnace repair services. Our skilled technicians will quickly diagnose and fix the problem, ensuring your furnace operates safely and efficiently.

When Should You Replace Your Furnace Instead of Repairing It?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your furnace can be a tough call, but there are situations where replacing your furnace is the smarter, more cost-effective choice. At Friesen’s Heating & Air Conditioning, we’re here to guide you through this decision with expert advice and reliable service. Here are the key factors to consider when determining if it’s time for a new furnace:

    • Age of Your Furnace: Most furnaces have a lifespan of 15–20 years. If your furnace is nearing or past this range, frequent repairs may only be a temporary fix, and a replacement could save you money in the long run.
    • Frequent Breakdowns: If your furnace requires multiple repairs each year, the cost of keeping it running can add up quickly. Upgrading to a new, reliable unit can eliminate the hassle and expense of ongoing repairs.
    • Rising Energy Bills: Older furnaces are often less energy-efficient, leading to higher heating costs. A new energy-efficient model can significantly lower your monthly bills and improve overall performance.
    • Cost of Repairs: When repair costs approach 50% of the price of a new furnace, replacement is often the better investment. Modern systems come with improved efficiency and warranties for peace of mind.
    • Uneven Heating or Comfort Issues: If your current furnace struggles to maintain a consistent temperature or doesn’t heat your home effectively, upgrading to a newer system can improve comfort and efficiency.
    • Safety Concerns: Cracks in the heat exchanger or other safety hazards can pose serious risks, such as carbon monoxide leaks. In these cases, replacing the furnace is the safest option.

Upgrading to a new furnace not only solves persistent issues but also provides you with the benefits of improved energy efficiency, quieter operation, and modern features. At Friesen’s Heating & Air Conditioning, we’ll help you evaluate your current system and determine whether a repair or replacement is the best solution for your home.
