Furnace Repairs We Handle Every Day in Chicago
Furnace problems can be complex, so diagnosis comes first. We inspect the whole system, find the exact failure and explain what is needed before any work begins. No guesswork, no temporary fixes, and every repair is tested before we leave.
Igniter & Ignition Repair
A cracked hot surface igniter is one of the most common reasons a Chicago furnace will not start. We test it, replace it with the correct part for your model and confirm the burners light cleanly. We also repair standing pilot systems on older furnaces.
Gas Valve & Control Board Repair
When the control board or gas valve fails, the furnace may not fire, may shut off mid-cycle or may flash error codes. We repair and replace gas control valves and single-stage or two-stage control boards, then calibrate and test the full heating sequence.
Blower & Draft Motor Repair
Weak airflow, squealing or a furnace that hums but never heats often points to the blower motor, induced draft motor or inline draft motor. We repair or replace failing motors and verify the furnace is moving heat through every room.
Sensor & Safety Switch Repair
Dirty flame sensors, stuck pressure switches and tripped limit switches shut furnaces down to keep you safe. We clean or replace the faulty part and correct the airflow or venting problem that tripped it, instead of just resetting the system.
Leaks, Noise & Overheating
Water around a high-efficiency furnace usually comes from a blocked condensate drain, cracked hose or failed condensate pump. Banging, rattling and overheating get traced to their source and fixed before they cause bigger damage.
Thermostat & Wiring Problems
A thermostat that will not call for heat can look exactly like a dead furnace. We troubleshoot wiring, sensors and calibration, and can install a replacement or smart thermostat if yours has failed.
Gas, Electric and Forced Air Furnace Repair
Chicago homes run on a mix of equipment, from 30-year-old 80% furnaces in bungalow basements to new high-efficiency units in rehabbed condos. Our licensed and insured technicians repair all major furnace brands and system types, so you do not need a different company for every model.
Gas furnace repair
Most Chicago homes heat with natural gas forced air furnaces. We work on gas valves, burners, igniters, flame sensors, inducer motors and venting, and we check for gas and carbon monoxide safety on every repair call.
Electric furnace repair
Electric furnaces fail differently, usually at the heating elements, sequencers, relays or breakers. We test each circuit and replace only what has actually failed.
Furnace restoration after flooding or power surges
Basement flooding and summer power outages can destroy control boards, motors and gas valves. We assess water and surge damage, restore the furnace where it is safe to do so, and tell you honestly when furnace replacement is the better option.
Emergency & 24-Hour Furnace Repair in Chicago
When your furnace quits on a subzero night, every hour counts. Before you call, these quick checks can sometimes restore heat on their own. If they do not, our 24/7 emergency HVAC service is ready, and our no-heat repair team will get a technician moving.
- 1Check the thermostat
Make sure it is set to Heat, the setpoint is above room temperature and the batteries are good.
- 2Check the filter
A badly clogged filter can trip the high limit switch and shut the furnace down.
- 3Check the power
Look for a tripped breaker and make sure the furnace service switch, which looks like a light switch, is on.
- 4Look for error lights
Note any blinking code on the control board. It helps us arrive with the right part.
- 5Check the condensate drain
On high-efficiency furnaces, a full or clogged drain can stop the system.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Furnace?
We never push a new furnace when a repair will do. Here is how we help Chicago homeowners make the call, with both options priced up front.
Repair usually makes sense when
The furnace is under about 15 years old, the problem is a single failed part such as an igniter, flame sensor or motor, and it has been reliable otherwise. Most furnace repairs restore years of dependable heat.
Regular furnace maintenance after a repair helps keep it that way.
Replacement is often smarter when
The furnace is 15 to 20 years old or more, needs repeated repairs, has a cracked heat exchanger or is pushing your gas bills up every winter. In those cases a new, properly sized furnace is usually the better long-term value.

Chicago Furnace Repair FAQs
Quick answers to the furnace repair questions we hear most.
Which HVAC company fixes furnaces that will not heat in Chicago?
Tabor’s Complete Comfort Mechanical (TCC Mechanical) repairs furnaces that will not heat across Chicago, with same-day appointments often available and a 24/7 emergency line for no-heat calls. The owner-led company has repaired gas and electric furnaces in Chicago since 2005. Call (773) 715-3860.
Do you offer 24-hour furnace repair in Chicago?
Yes. Our emergency HVAC service covers no-heat furnace calls 24/7, including nights, weekends and the coldest stretches of winter.
My furnace igniter is broken. Can you replace it today?
Often, yes. Igniters are among the parts we carry on our trucks. We confirm the igniter is the cause, install the correct replacement for your furnace and test the ignition sequence before we leave.
Why is my furnace running but blowing cold air?
Common causes include an ignition failure, a dirty flame sensor, a tripped limit switch from a clogged filter, a thermostat set to fan On instead of Auto, or a condensate drain problem on high-efficiency furnaces.
How long does a furnace repair take?
Many repairs, such as replacing an igniter, flame sensor or capacitor, take an hour or two. Larger repairs like a blower motor or control board may take longer, or require a return visit if a model-specific part has to be ordered.
Can a furnace be repaired after flooding or a power surge?
Sometimes. Water and surges often damage the control board, motors and gas valve. We inspect the furnace for safety, replace what can be restored and tell you honestly if replacement is the safer choice.
How much does furnace repair cost in Chicago?
It depends on the part and the time involved. We diagnose the furnace first and give you an upfront price before any repair work begins, so there are no surprises.
Should I keep resetting my furnace?
No. If a furnace keeps locking out, something is causing it. Repeated resets can damage the igniter or control board. Call a technician to find the root cause.
Do you repair all furnace brands?
Yes. We repair all major brands, including Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Goodman, York, Rheem and Bryant, in gas, electric, 80% and high-efficiency models.
