My furnace smells like gas. What do I do?
Leave the building right away, take everyone with you, and do not flip switches. From outside, call 911 or your gas utility. Once they have cleared the home, call us and we will inspect the furnace, burners, and gas connections.
Is it worth repairing an older furnace?
Often yes. Ignitors, flame sensors, capacitors, and blower motors are normal wear parts and replacing one can carry a furnace for years. We tell you what failed, whether other components are near the end, and let you decide.
Why does my furnace keep shutting off before the house warms up?
Short cycling usually traces to restricted airflow or a sensor problem. A clogged filter, closed vents, a dirty flame sensor, or a limit switch tripping on heat buildup all cause it. Change the filter first, then call for heater repair.
Can you work on electric furnaces too?
Yes. Electric furnace repair usually involves heating elements, sequencers, contactors, or the blower. We test each stage under load to find which element or control failed rather than replacing parts on a guess.
How soon can you get to my house in The Dalles?
Call us and we'll give you a real window rather than a guess. We route The Dalles work in blocks with the rest of the Gorge, so same-week is normal and no-cooling calls during a heat stretch get moved up. If you have no heat during a freeze, tell us when you call so we can prioritize it. Before we arrive, you can check the thermostat batteries and settings, look for a tripped breaker, change the filter if it's dirty, clear leaves and dust away from the outdoor unit, and confirm your vents are open.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form. Describe the noise, the smell, the temperature, and when it started. That detail helps us bring the right parts and gives you an honest idea of the visit ahead.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, airflow, electrical connections, refrigerant behaviour and the outdoor unit. We tell you what failed and why, in plain language, before anyone reaches for a part or a price.
- Step 3
You choose the repair
We lay out the fix, any parts on order, and what happens if you wait. Once you agree, we do the work and confirm the system holds temperature before we pack up and leave.

Why homeowners call us
- Heat pumps are our normalIn this region heat pumps outnumber furnaces, so defrost boards, reversing valves and short cycling in wet weather are everyday work for us. We know how these systems behave in a cold December rain, not just on a test bench.
- Wet winter defrost problemsIce on the outdoor coil, a unit that runs and runs without warming the house, puddles that refreeze under the pad. We trace whether it is a sensor, a stuck valve, drainage, or airflow, then fix the actual cause.
- Filtration after smoke seasonWildfire smoke turned indoor air quality into a real conversation here. We look at filter fit, return sizing and IAQ options that your blower can actually push air through, rather than choking the system with the wrong media.
- We explain before we chargeYou get the diagnosis, the options and the trade-offs before work starts. If a repair is not worth it on an old system, we say so. No pressure, no jargon dumped on you at the door.
