      Expert Furnace Repair: We Bring the Heat Back

      Let’s be real. There is absolutely no good time for your furnace to quit. But it always seems to happen on the most frigid winter night, doesn’t it? Suddenly, your home isn’t just uncomfortable—it feels unsafe. Whether your furnace is blowing cold air, making a racket, or has just given up completely, you need help. Fast.

      At Chambers Services, we get it. The urgency is real. Our certified furnace technicians specialize in restoring warmth and safety to homes across the region, from Peoria and Bloomington-Normal to Champaign-Urbana. We get to the root of the problem with skill, speed, and integrity.

      Our Proven Furnace Repair Process

      Wondering what happens when you call us? We believe in a transparent, professional process from start to finish, so you’re never left guessing.

      1. Safety-First Arrival & Assessment Your family’s safety is our top priority. The moment our technician arrives, they’ll perform an initial safety check of your furnace and the surrounding area. Then, they’ll listen. We want to hear from you exactly what’s been going on.
      2. Advanced Diagnostics This isn’t just guesswork. We use advanced diagnostic tools to perform a comprehensive inspection of your heating system. We methodically test components—the ignitor, flame sensor, blower motor, control board—to pinpoint the exact cause of the failure.
      3. Clear Explanation & Up-Front Quote Once we know what’s wrong, we’ll walk you through it. Our technician will explain the issue in plain English, show you the problem, and outline your best options. You’ll get a clear, flat-rate quote for the work, so you know the cost before we even pick up a tool. No surprises. No hidden fees.
      4. Expert Repair with Quality Parts With your approval, we get to work. Our technicians perform every repair using high-quality, durable parts. And since our service vehicles are well-stocked, we can fix most furnace issues in a single visit.
      5. System Testing & Calibration We’re not done until we’re certain the job is done right. After the repair, we meticulously test your furnace, running it through a full heating cycle to ensure it’s operating safely and efficiently. We’ll calibrate the thermostat and make sure every component is working in harmony.

      Common Furnace Problems We Repair

      Our team has seen—and fixed—it all. If you’re experiencing any of these common issues, you’re not alone, and we have the solution.

      • Furnace Won’t Turn On: When your furnace won’t start, it could be something simple like a tripped breaker or an incorrect thermostat setting. However, it can also point to a more serious issue like a faulty ignitor, a problem with the pilot light, or a malfunctioning control board. Our technicians will quickly trace the source of the problem to get your system up and running.
      • Furnace is Blowing Cold Air: There are few things more frustrating than a furnace that’s running but pushing cold air through your vents. This common problem can be caused by a dirty flame sensor that’s shutting off the burners as a safety measure, a clogged filter restricting airflow, or even leaky ductwork. We’ll find out why the heat isn’t making it to you and fix it.
      • Furnace is Making Strange Noises: Your furnace should operate relatively quietly. If you hear loud banging, rattling, or screeching, it’s a clear sign that something is wrong. These noises often indicate a loose or broken component, like a problem with the blower motor or an unbalanced part. Ignoring these sounds can lead to much bigger and more expensive damage, so it’s best to call a pro right away.
      • Furnace is Short Cycling: Is your furnace turning on and off every few minutes? This is called short cycling, and it’s a major sign of trouble. It not only puts incredible strain on your system’s components but also drives up your energy bills. The cause could be an overheating issue, a malfunctioning thermostat, or an improperly sized furnace. We can diagnose the reason for the short cycling and restore your furnace to a normal, efficient heating cycle.

      Key Benefits of Professional Furnace Repair

      While a furnace breakdown is stressful, getting it professionally repaired provides significant benefits that go far beyond just restoring heat.

      • Restored Efficiency & Lower Bills: A malfunctioning furnace has to work much harder, causing a spike in your energy bills. A professional repair restores your system to its peak efficiency, helping you save money every month.
      • Enhanced Home Safety: Problems with a gas furnace, such as a faulty heat exchanger or improper combustion, can pose serious safety risks, including carbon monoxide leaks. Our certified technicians ensure your system is repaired according to strict safety standards.
      • Prevention of Larger Problems: That strange rattling noise or minor issue today could be a sign of a catastrophic failure tomorrow. Addressing problems early with a professional repair can save you from a much more expensive replacement down the road.
      • Longer Furnace Lifespan: Just like any major appliance, your furnace will last longer with proper care. Professional repairs with quality parts prevent excess strain on other components, helping you get the most years possible out of your investment.

      Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Repair

      How do I know if I need a furnace repair or a full replacement?

      This is a common question. Generally, if your furnace is less than 15 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new system, a repair is often the more economical choice. However, if your furnace is older, requires frequent and costly repairs, or is highly inefficient, a replacement might be a better long-term investment. Our technicians can give you an honest assessment of both options.

      What are the most common reasons a furnace stops working?

      The most frequent issues we see include a dirty or clogged filter restricting airflow, a malfunctioning thermostat, a pilot light or ignitor that has failed, or a tripped circuit breaker. More complex issues can involve the blower motor, flame sensor, or control board.

      Is it dangerous to try and fix my own furnace?

      Yes, it can be very dangerous, especially with a gas furnace. DIY repairs can lead to risks of gas leaks, carbon monoxide exposure, electrical shock, and voiding your manufacturer’s warranty. For your safety, it’s always best to call a trained and certified furnace technician.

      How much does furnace repair cost?

      The cost can vary widely depending on the specific part that needs to be repaired or replaced. That’s why we don’t use confusing hourly rates. Instead, we provide a flat-rate, up-front price for the specific repair needed after we diagnose the problem. This way, you approve the final cost before any work begins.
