When your furnace quits on a cold Fresno night, you need someone who will show up, fix it, and charge what they said they would. Most furnace repairs in Fresno run between $150 and $700 depending on the part and the furnace. That’s a real range, not a teaser. Brandt HVAC Co Fresno has been part of the Threshold Group family since 2003, and every technician we send has been background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced to you by name and photo before they ever knock on your door. If you need Furnace Repair in Fresno today, call (559) 354-6878 and a live person will answer, day or night.
We don’t do voicemail. We don’t do callbacks. And we never start work until you’ve seen the price in writing and agreed to it. That’s how furnace repair should work in Fresno, whether you live in the Tower District, Sunnyside, or up near Woodward Park. Devin Marlowe leads our Fresno team, and the standard is simple: you know who is coming, what they will do, and what it will cost before anyone touches your furnace.
Furnace Maintenance
Furnace Maintenance is the scheduled inspection and tune of your heating system so small problems get caught before they become no-heat nights. In Fresno’s Central Valley winters, furnaces cycle hard through January and February, and a maintained furnace lasts years longer than a neglected one. Brandt HVAC Co Fresno performs furnace maintenance with a written checklist and a flat price, and a tune-up for a residential furnace typically runs $80 to $200. You’ll see the price before we start, and if we find anything that needs repair, you’ll see a separate written quote before any work proceeds.
What a Maintenance Visit Includes
We inspect the heat exchanger, burners, ignition, blower motor, electrical connections, and safety controls. Then we clean what needs cleaning and test the system’s start-up and shut-down cycles. Most visits take about an hour and end with a written report of what we found and what we recommend.
When to Schedule It
The best time for furnace maintenance in Fresno is late September or early October, before the first cold snap. That gives you time to approve any repairs before you actually need heat. If you’ve skipped it altogether, schedule it now and we’ll make sure your furnace is ready for the next Fresno cold front.
Styles & brands we work with
Heat Pump Repair
Heat Pump Repair covers systems that both heat and cool your home by moving heat rather than burning fuel. When a heat pump fails in Fresno, you lose both heating and cooling from one unit, which makes prompt repair especially important. Most heat pump repairs run $150 to $700, which reflects the cost of parts like reversing valves, defrost boards, capacitors, and fan motors plus the labor to install them correctly. Brandt HVAC Co Fresno works on heat pumps from Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and every other major residential brand, and every repair starts with a written price.
Common Heat Pump Failures We See
In Fresno, we see a lot of failed capacitors and contactors because our heat pumps run long hours in summer. Defrost control boards also fail with age, which leaves the outdoor coil iced over on cold mornings. A heat pump that runs but doesn’t heat is often low on refrigerant or has a failing reversing valve.
Heat Pump vs. Furnace in Fresno
Many newer Fresno homes use heat pumps instead of gas furnaces. If your heat pump is struggling to keep up when temperatures drop into the 30s, the issue is often the auxiliary heat strips or a thermostat setting. We’ll diagnose it and show you the written cost before proceeding.
Heating Repair
Heating Repair is the broad term for fixing any system that keeps your home warm, whether it’s a furnace, heat pump, boiler, or ductless mini-split. If your heater is blowing cold air, short cycling, making strange noises, or just not turning on at all, you need heating repair. In Fresno, most heating repairs fall between $150 and $700. Brandt HVAC Co Fresno provides heating repair across the city and surrounding communities, including our Furnace Repair in Clovis, and every job begins with a written price you approve before we pick up a tool.
What We Check First
When a heating system fails, we start with the basics: thermostat signal, power to the unit, gas supply if applicable, and the safety limit switches. A surprising number of no-heat calls in Fresno turn out to be a tripped breaker or a clogged filter. We’ll walk you through what we find in plain language before recommending any repair.
Safety Before Speed
Heating systems that burn gas can produce carbon monoxide if the heat exchanger is cracked or the venting is blocked. We inspect safety components on every heating repair visit. If we find something dangerous, we’ll tell you plainly and give you a written price to make it right.
Boiler Repair
Boiler Repair is service for hydronic heating systems that use hot water or steam to warm your home through radiators or baseboards. While boilers are less common in Fresno than gas furnaces, many older homes in neighborhoods like the Tower District still rely on them. We also offer Madera Furnace Repair for homes in that area. Boiler repairs in Fresno generally run $150 to $700, though the cost depends on whether we’re replacing a circulator pump, a zone valve, an expansion tank, or something simpler. Brandt HVAC Co Fresno repairs residential boilers and starts every job with a written price.
Signs Your Boiler Needs Attention
Odd gurgling or banging sounds usually mean air in the lines or sediment in the tank. Radiators that are cold at the bottom often signal sludge buildup. Low pressure or a leaking pressure relief valve are both reasons to call us sooner rather than later.
Boiler vs. Furnace Confusion
Many homeowners call any basement heating unit a “furnace,” but boilers work very differently. If your home has radiators or baseboard heaters, you have a boiler. Our technicians know the difference and will explain exactly what’s wrong and what it will cost to fix it.
Gas Furnace Repair
Gas Furnace Repair is the most common type of heating repair we perform in Fresno, because most Central Valley homes heat with natural gas. Most gas furnace repairs cost between $150 and $700. A failed igniter, for example, typically runs $150 to $300 parts and labor included, while a replacement blower motor or control board falls in the $400 to $700 range. Brandt HVAC Co Fresno repairs gas furnaces from every major brand, and we never start a repair until you’ve seen the written price and agreed to it.
Most Common Gas Furnace Failures
In Fresno, we routinely replace failed hot surface igniters, flame sensors, pressure switches, gas valves, and control boards. We also see cracked heat exchangers on older units, which is a serious safety issue. If your furnace is over 15 years old and the heat exchanger is cracked, we’ll show you the repair cost and the replacement cost side by side so you can make an informed decision.
A Note on Gas Safety
Gas furnaces involve natural gas, electrical connections, and high-temperature components. If you smell gas in your home, leave immediately and call your utility company. Do not attempt to open the furnace cabinet or inspect gas lines yourself. Furnace repair is a job for a trained professional with the right diagnostic tools and safety equipment.
Furnace Tune Up
Furnace Tune Up is preventative service that keeps your gas furnace running safely and efficiently through the heating season. A furnace tune-up in Fresno typically costs $80 to $200, and it includes cleaning the burners and flame sensor, checking gas pressure, testing safety controls, and inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks. Brandt HVAC Co Fresno performs furnace tune-ups with a written checklist, and you’ll get a report showing exactly what we found and what it means.
What We Test, Specifically
We measure temperature rise across the heat exchanger, test carbon monoxide output, inspect the venting, and verify that the gas valve opens and closes correctly. We also check the blower motor’s amperage draw, which can catch a failing motor before it leaves you without heat on a cold Fresno night.
Why a Tune-Up Pays for Itself
A dirty furnace burns more gas and fails sooner. In Fresno, where furnaces sit unused for months and then work hard through winter, a fall tune-up is the cheapest insurance you can buy. If our technician finds something wrong, you’ll get a written quote for the repair, and you decide whether to proceed.
Emergency Furnace Repair
Emergency Furnace Repair is what you need when your furnace dies on a weekend, holiday, or in the middle of the night, and the Fresno temperature is dropping fast. Brandt HVAC Co Fresno answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and a live person takes your call every time. Sanger Furnace Repair and emergency service in Fresno generally runs $150 to $700 with no overtime charge, and you’ll still get a written price before any work starts. If your furnace is out and it’s cold inside, call (559) 354-6878 right now.
What Counts as an Emergency
No heat on a cold night is an emergency, especially for households with young children, older adults, or anyone with a medical condition that makes them sensitive to cold. A gas smell is a different kind of emergency: leave the house and call your gas utility first, then call us once it’s safe. Strange odors that don’t smell like gas, such as burning dust on the first start of the season, usually resolve quickly but are worth checking.
What Happens When You Call After Hours
You’ll talk to a person, not an answering machine. We’ll ask what the furnace is doing and schedule the next available technician. Before the technician arrives, you’ll get their name and photo so you know exactly who is at your door.
Brands We Service
We service Trane furnaces, and we’ve worked on enough of them in the Fresno area to know their common failure points well. Trane units are reliable, but when the igniter or control board goes, the job needs to be done with OEM parts and correct voltage checks. We stock or quickly source Trane replacement parts so your repair isn’t delayed waiting on a backorder.
We also work on Lennox and Goodman furnaces regularly. Lennox systems often use proprietary boards that require careful diagnostics, and Goodman units are common in newer Fresno subdivisions, where we see capacitor and pressure switch failures most often. We service Rheem as well, including their older standing-pilot models and newer hot-surface-ignition designs. Whether you have a Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, or any other make, we can diagnose the problem and fix it with a written price before we start.

- Cold air blowing from your vents when the heat is on. This usually means the burners aren’t lighting or the heat exchanger isn’t getting hot. If the blower is running but the air is cold, your furnace is working but your heat isn’t.
- A burning smell that doesn’t go away after a few minutes. Dust burning off at the season’s first start is normal and fades quickly. A persistent burning, acrid, or electrical smell is not normal and should be checked immediately.
- Short cycling, where the furnace turns on and off every few minutes. This wastes gas and puts stress on the blower motor and control board. It’s often caused by a dirty flame sensor, an overheating heat exchanger, or a thermostat issue.
- Rattling, banging, or humming from the furnace cabinet. Banging can indicate delayed ignition in the burners, which is a safety issue. Rattling often points to a loose blower wheel or failing motor mount.
- A furnace that won’t turn on at all, even though the thermostat is set correctly. Before you panic, check the breaker and the filter. If those are fine, the problem could be the control board, the igniter, or a safety switch that’s doing its job. A trained technician can tell the difference.

How Much Does Furnace Repair Cost in Fresno?
Most furnace repairs in Fresno fall between $150 and $700. A simple flame sensor cleaning or igniter replacement usually runs $150 to $300. A pressure switch, gas valve, or capacitor replacement typically lands between $250 and $450. A blower motor or control board replacement often runs $400 to $700 parts and labor included. These are real ranges based on the parts and labor involved, not teaser prices that climb after the technician arrives.
Several factors affect the final cost: the age and brand of your furnace, whether the part is a common stock item or a special order, and how accessible your unit is. Older furnaces sometimes require obsolete parts that cost more to source. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written price before any work starts, which is exactly how we operate. Our estimates are free, and the price we hand you is the price you pay if you approve the repair.
If your furnace is more than 15 years old and the repair would cost more than half the price of a new system, we’ll tell you that too. We’d rather give you honest information and a fair option than push a repair that doesn’t make sense for your home or your budget.
