Furnace Not Heating Properly? We Can Help.

The winters in our part of California get cold. When temperatures drop into the 30s at night, a failing furnace isn't just uncomfortable. It can become a serious problem that needs immediate attention. 

You can confidently turn to JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air for any kind of furnace issue, including these:

• Igniter failure (no heat, system won't start)
• Blower motor problems (weak airflow, loud noises)
• Flame sensor issues (system starts then shuts off)
• Thermostat malfunctions (erratic cycling)
• Cracked heat exchanger (safety concern posing carbon monoxide risks)
• Clogged filters (causes overheating and shutdowns)

Some of these issues are simple to fix. Others are more serious and may require in-depth work. We've been repairing furnaces since 1981. Our technicians diagnose problems with meters and gauges, not guesswork. Before we ever get started, you’ll know exactly what’s gone wrong and what it will take to fix it. 

Our Four-Step Furnace Repair Process

We’re here to make getting your heat back on as streamlined as possible. When you trust us to repair your heater, you can expect the following. 

Thorough System Diagnosis

Safety comes first, so we’ll start with a combustion analysis and carbon monoxide check. If there's a cracked heat exchanger or venting issue, we’ll tell you immediately.

Then, we’ll move to full system diagnostics, assessing:

• Gas pressure and valve operation
• Ignition system testing
• Blower motor amp draw
• Thermostat signal verification
• Airflow measurement
• Flue gas analysis

This comprehensive approach will allow us to find the root cause, not just the obvious symptoms. 

Clear Recommendations & Upfront Pricing

Once we've diagnosed the problem, we'll explain exactly what's happening and discuss your options. 

Generally, we’ll propose three repair routes:

1. Essential services to restore heat
2. Recommended repairs, plus preventive work
3. Furnace replacement, should this be the most cost-effective 

Each option will come with exact pricing. You’ll be able to choose what fits your budget and situation.

If we find a cracked heat exchanger or other safety issue, we'll be direct: some repairs aren't worth it. We'll show you the numbers and let you decide.

If you need financing for a larger project, we can approve you on the spot.
