When you wake up on a January morning and discover your furnace in Maplewood isn’t working, make us your first call. After all, the average low temperature in January is a bitter 9 degrees. We’ll respond quickly so your life can go back to normal.
Whether your furnace’s pilot light is yellow or you’re having difficulty starting the furnace, call our experts for service. The first thing we’ll do is perform an inspection of your furnace. Once we diagnose the problem, we’ll repair it quickly.
There are many things that indicate it’s time for a repair.
If your furnace is 15 years or older, it may be time to replace it rather than repair it. We understand that this might not be something you saw coming. You can rest assured, however, that we won’t suggest a replacement unless it’s necessary. To assist you, we offer financing options on approved credit.
One indicator of a necessary replacement is needing to call for repairs two or more times per season. We’ll also consider the $5,000 rule for HVAC units. This takes the age of the unit and multiplies it by the repair cost. If the cost exceeds $5,000, it’s generally in your best interest to replace it.
Besides the $5,000 rule, there are several other indicators that a replacement may be the best option. If you’re unsure, we’ll perform an inspection and give you our honest opinion. Remember, our main goal is your satisfaction.
Pay attention to the various signs listed below that indicate a replacement is necessary.

There are certain questions that come up frequently, so we’ve included a few answers below. If you still have a question, feel free to call us.
Your pilot light should always be bright blue. This indicates it is getting the proper amount of oxygen. If it begins flickering and/or turns yellow, call us right away. Having a yellow pilot light indicates the release of deadly carbon monoxide into your home’s air, which could cause headaches, vomiting, and dizziness.
Gas furnaces might emit an unpleasant odor briefly when they’re first turned on. However, if the odor persists, it’s important to have your furnace checked out immediately. Natural gas is odorless, so gas companies add a chemical with a sulfur smell. Therefore, smelling rotten eggs indicates a hazardous leak. Turn off your main gas line, leave your home immediately, and then contact Hurlburt.
Every home has dust, but if you notice a sudden increase on your surfaces, you may have an issue with your furnace. Your HVAC plays a major role in providing good indoor air quality. Increased dust can result from a clogged air filter, failing ductwork, or internal issues with the furnace.
