Heater & Furnace Repair in Irvine, CA
Irvine homes run their heat only a few months a year, but cool coastal nights still make a working furnace important, especially for families with young kids or older parents. In condos the furnace is often in a small closet or the attic over the garage, which makes filter changes easy to forget. Clogged filters and dirty flame sensors cause a lot of the no-heat calls we see in Irvine, and we check for carbon monoxide on every repair.
Gas furnace repair in Irvine
Most Irvine homes heat with a gas furnace paired with a central AC, though more of the newest homes and many recent replacements use heat pumps. Either way, heat runs only part of the year here, so most of our furnace repair calls are about parts that dried out, got dusty or simply aged while the furnace sat. We repair furnaces in the older villages like Woodbridge and Northwood, in condos and townhomes, and in newer neighborhoods across the city.
What goes wrong with Irvine furnaces
- Ignition faults. Hot surface igniters crack, and flame sensors get coated. The furnace tries a few times and locks out.
- Condensate problems on high efficiency furnaces. A clogged drain or trap can stop a 90 percent furnace from running, especially in attics.
- Control boards and inducer motors on furnaces that are 15 years or older.
- Smart thermostats wired wrong. A new thermostat on an older furnace sometimes needs a common wire or a setup change before it runs the heat correctly. See smart thermostats.
Gas furnace or heat pump?
If your furnace needs a big repair, it is fair to ask whether to replace it with another gas furnace or move to a heat pump. A gas furnace is a direct swap in most homes. A heat pump can replace both the furnace and the AC, but it may need electrical work and a matched indoor unit. In a mild climate like Irvine, both work well. We look at your home, your ducts and your panel, and give you a written price for each so you can decide. Replacements are permitted with the City of Irvine. More on furnace installation.
Carbon monoxide
Many Irvine condos have the furnace in a closet next to a bedroom or over an attached garage, so a working CO alarm matters. We test for carbon monoxide on every gas furnace repair. If your alarm goes off, leave the home, call 911, then SoCalGas. Do not go back inside until they say it is safe.
Before you call
- Thermostat on Heat and set a few degrees above room temperature. Check that a schedule or app setting is not overriding it.
- Replace the filter if it is dirty. In condos it is often in a ceiling return grille.
- Make sure the furnace door is on and closed.
- Check the breaker and the service switch.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my Irvine furnace smell like burning dust when it first turns on?+
A light dusty smell for a few minutes after months off is normal. A strong burning smell, an electrical smell or one that does not go away is not. Turn the system off and call.
Do you repair heat pumps in Irvine?+
Yes. Many newer Irvine homes and condos heat with a heat pump instead of a gas furnace, and we service both.
My high efficiency furnace has water around it. What is wrong?+
High efficiency furnaces make water as they run. A leak usually means a clogged condensate trap or drain line, or a cracked fitting. Turn it off and call so it does not damage the floor or ceiling.
Why does my furnace work but my new smart thermostat says heat is not running?+
Often a wiring or setup issue, like a missing common wire or the wrong equipment type selected. We check the wiring and settings.
Can you replace just my furnace and keep my AC?+
Often yes, if the AC is in good shape and the new furnace matches the coil. We check compatibility before recommending it.
How fast can you come?+
Same day in most cases, 24/7 for emergencies.
Do you check for carbon monoxide?+
Yes, on every heater call.
