5 Signs You Need Gas Furnace Repair

1

Inconsistent Heat

First and foremost, check that there’s no furniture obstructing your air vents. If that’s not the issue you could have ducts that need repaired or there could be something wrong with your heating element.

2

Loud Noises

Noises when your unit is starting up is completely normal. But if your unit is in mid-cycle and it’s making some noise that you’ve never heard before then contact our Watertown furnace repair experts.

3

Smells that are off

If you have a gas unit and smell rotten eggs then you have a gas leak and should leave the premises immediately. The first time you turn the furnace on in the winter might bring a weird smell of the dust burning off, but otherwise take notice of any smells.

4

Unit won’t start

For gas units check that the pilot light is on. For electrical units double check that there are no blown fuses. If neither of those issues are happening, then contact our Watertown furnace repair experts.

5

Bad air quality

If you’re noticing that during the winter time your indoor air quality isn’t what it used to be, you might either need furnace repair or your unit could be on its last legs.

FAQs ABBOUT FURNACE REPAIR

What are the common signs that my furnace needs repair?

Common signs include strange noises, inconsistent heating, increased energy bills, and the furnace cycling on and off frequently. If you notice any of these issues, it's a good idea to have your furnace inspected by a professional.

How can I troubleshoot my furnace before calling for repairs?

You can start by checking the thermostat settings, ensuring the furnace filter is clean, and verifying that the power supply is connected. If these simple checks don’t resolve the issue, it may be time to call a technician.

When should I schedule a furnace repair service?

It's best to schedule a repair service as soon as you notice any issues. Waiting can lead to more significant problems, higher repair costs, and even complete system failure.

Is it worth repairing an old furnace, or should I just replace it?

This depends on the age of your furnace and the cost of repairs. If your furnace is over 15 years old and the repair costs exceed 50% of a new unit, it might be more cost-effective to replace it.

Why is my furnace blowing cold air instead of warm?

Several issues could cause this, such as a malfunctioning thermostat, a dirty filter, or a problem with the pilot light. It’s important to diagnose the exact cause to ensure proper heating.

How much does it typically cost to repair a furnace?

Furnace repair costs can vary widely, typically ranging from $100 to $1,000 depending on the issue, the make and model of the furnace, and labor costs. It's advisable to get a detailed estimate from a technician.

We recently had our hot water heater replaced after our previous heater failed and flooded our basement. We couldn't be happier with the entire experience! From start to finish, the process was smooth, efficient, and professional. Manny and his team arrived right on time, carefully removed the old unit, and installed the new heater with expert precision. Manny had made our job a priority. The new hot water heater works flawlessly, providing consistent, hot water with impressive energy efficiency. Manny was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain how to maintain the system and the automatic water shutoff. Overall, this replacement has brought us peace of mind knowing we have a reliable source of hot water for our home. We highly recommend this service to anyone in need of a quality water heater upgrade! Akian had also replaced our gas furnace at the end of 2024 and had the same excellent service.

Matt B. is exceptional and has an encyclopedic knowledge of boiler systems. He can answer questions about every permutation of considerations in the lead up to purchasing an efficient, safe new boiler. We were pleasantly surprised by his fluency and responsiveness when we peppered him with over an hour of questions and the company’s patience with us in considering a major purchase. I would highly recommend Matt and Akian Plumbing.

I rarely leave google reviews. However, I felt like my experience with Aikian was so positive that I wanted to share. I appreciated the professional communication - very streamlined and attentive, the workmanship was excellent. They did exactly what they said they would do. The cost DIDN'T change, after the contract/quote. They were respectful in the home - kept things clean, used lots of drop clothes/shoe protection. There was an aspect of professionalism, promptness, and communication that I so very much appreciated. Would highly recommend. Would use again.

Absolutely horrible. Repeatedly reschedules due to their own errors and takes multiple trips to fix an issue to drive up their hours. Customer service is terrible and unresponsive after 4:30 and they offer no weekend support. We have been without hot water for over two weeks because of the company but charged over $1000+.

I called to ask for a general price range for replacing a P-trap. They told me they would not provide any pricing information unless they first sent a master plumber out for a $120 service call. I even asked what the *lowest* possible cost for a basic P-trap replacement would be, just so I could have some idea of what to expect, and they still refused to answer. That made me uncomfortable. I understand that an exact quote may require seeing the job in person, but refusing to provide even a starting price or rough range felt unnecessarily vague. I didn't feel comfortable paying $120 upfront without having any idea what I might ultimately be charged, so I decided not to move forward with them.

Sean and Andrew were great. I came home from work one day to discover water damage to my bathroom ceiling. Sean came out quickly to assess the situation. He was able to get someone out to remediate right away. Once the cleanup was complete, Andrew came out to do some further investigate and was able to successfully identify the water source in my very old condo building in Brighton. Both were very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

So wanted to give an update to a 2 star review i left for Akian for work done about a month ago. I had two gripes: Call center customer service and dispatch and high pricing. I have to give their management credit: They saw my review, reached out and yesterday service manage Jeff called me. It's rare these days for someone to really listen to how things looked on my side of the road and to Jeff's credit he did that. Not only that we reached and agreement regarding what i felt was high pricing two two of the three components they replaced on my AC system. In addition he mentioned that they are moving away from the foreign call center customer service--this is a good thing. Who wants to feel if they get disconnected they can't call the person back? All this reassured me that despite some issues they are getting themselves on track and that they cared enough to make things right for me.

Carlos came today to troubleshoot my central AC. which stopped working yesterday. He was very upfront saying that he was unfamiliar with my particular set up. However, with assistance from his office, he was able to diagnose and fix the issue. It was not a simple 1-2-3 due to the poor initial installation from another company 9 years ago. He was diligent looking for solutions and was able to get the AC working. Part of the issue was the thermostat, which he replaced. I will make Akian my go-to company for my system. thank you Carlos. It is only a 4 because I was hoping for same day services yesterday.

Do not call if you actually have an emergency. Called them around 5pm this afternoon, told them my toilet was leaking all over the floor and that I was on the ground floor of a multi-floor condominium building. They opened a ticket and said someone would be out between 6pm and midnight. Called around 6:30 to see if there was an update, because even with the water turned off I had about 2 inches of water leaking out onto the floor. She said the plumber was finishing up a call then heading to me. I called an hour later and she said "oh, we don't service multi-floor buildings you will have to call someone else but they NEVER called to tell me. Wasted two hours waiting for a plumber that was never coming, causing damage to the bathroom floor and the carpeting in the hallway.
