Furnace problems
we fix.
Gas furnaces in attics, closets, garages and crawl spaces. Every repair visit includes basic safety checks on the burners and venting.
Igniter and flame sensor faults
Furnaces that click, light and shut off are often a dirty flame sensor or a failing hot-surface igniter.
Blower runs but air is cold
Limit switches, pressure switches and inducer motors checked in order.
Short cycling
Overheating from restricted airflow, a dirty filter or an oversized furnace.
Noises and smells
Banging, squealing or a burning smell checked before the next cold night.
Safety checks
Venting, heat-exchanger visual check and carbon monoxide concerns raised in plain language.
EL CERRITO DETAILSFurnace repair
Furnace repair
in El Cerrito.
Gas forced-air furnaces still heat a large share of older El Cerrito homes, often tucked under the house on sloped lots. Access and venting are part of every repair.
01
Ignition and flame faults
Hot surface igniters, flame sensors, pressure switches and inducer motors are the usual suspects when the furnace starts and quits.
02
Venting and CO safety
Each visit includes a look at the flue, the heat exchanger and carbon monoxide risk, which matters in tight crawlspaces.
03
Permit when replaced
El Cerrito lists furnace replacement as an over-the-counter permit. Repairs on an existing unit usually do not need one.

GOOD TO KNOW
Furnace Repair in El Cerrito: questions, answered.
Can I still repair my gas furnace in El Cerrito?
Yes. The Bay Area Air District rule covers sales of new furnaces, not repairs of the one you have.
Why does my furnace start and then shut off?
A dirty flame sensor, a blocked flue or a failing pressure switch is the most common cause. HAXX tests each one before replacing parts.
Should I replace my furnace with a heat pump?
If the furnace is old or the repair is expensive, it is worth pricing a heat pump, which also adds cooling. HAXX can quote both.
Is it safe to run a furnace that smells like gas?
No. Turn it off, leave the house if the smell is strong, and call PG&E or 911. Call HAXX for the repair once the area is safe.
