Gas Furnace Service In San Diego County

Every gas furnace repair starts with an $85 diagnostic visit, which is credited toward your repair when you move forward. After the diagnostic, you get a written quote based on the part or issue we find, so there are no surprises.

A furnace that will not light can be caused by a dirty flame sensor, a failed ignitor, a gas supply issue, a tripped safety switch, or a thermostat problem. Max Air HVAC tests the full startup sequence to find exactly where it is failing before recommending a repair.

A light burning smell for a few minutes at the start of the season is usually dust burning off. A gas smell is different. If you smell gas, turn the system off, leave the home, and call your gas utility right away. Once the home is safe, Max Air HVAC can inspect the furnace.

Once a year, ideally in the fall before you start using heat regularly. A tune-up keeps burners clean, checks safety controls, and helps catch small issues before they turn into a no-heat call.

Yes. Many San Diego county homeowners replace an older gas furnace with a heat pump that handles both heating and cooling. Max Air HVAC can walk you through costs, efficiency, and available rebates so you can compare both options.
