Furnace & Heating System Repair
Fast, Honest Heating Repair — Any Brand, Any System
A heating system failure isn't just uncomfortable — in the middle of a North Carolina winter, it can become a safety issue quickly. K&W technicians respond fast, diagnose accurately, and carry the parts needed to fix most heating problems in a single visit.
We service gas furnaces, oil furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pumps running in heating mode. Our technicians are trained across every major manufacturer and our trucks are stocked for them, so most repairs are finished on the first visit.
Every repair starts with an honest diagnostic. We tell you exactly what's wrong, what the repair costs, and what to expect from your system going forward — so you can make the right call for your home and your budget.
Warning Signs Your Heater Needs Repair
Heating systems usually give warnings before they fail completely. Catching these signs early can save you from an emergency call on the coldest night of the year.
Cold Air from Vents
If your system runs but blows cold or lukewarm air, it may be a failed ignitor, a faulty heat exchanger, or a reversing valve stuck in cooling mode on a heat pump.
Banging or Rattling Noises
Loud banging at startup can indicate delayed ignition in a gas furnace — a serious safety issue. Rattling often means loose components or a failing blower motor.
Frequent Cycling On and Off
A furnace that short-cycles — turning on and off repeatedly — is often responding to overheating caused by restricted airflow or a faulty limit switch.
Heating Bills Higher Than Normal
A sudden spike in heating costs without unusual cold weather often points to declining system efficiency — a dirty heat exchanger, worn components, or a refrigerant issue on a heat pump.
Yellow or Flickering Pilot Flame
A healthy gas furnace flame burns blue. Yellow or flickering flames can indicate incomplete combustion and a potential carbon monoxide issue that requires immediate inspection.
Uneven Heat Across Rooms
Some rooms freezing while others stay warm often points to ductwork problems, a failing blower, or a system that's no longer sized correctly for your home.

Heating Repair — Common Questions
My heat stopped working overnight. Can you come out today?
Yes. Heating failures are emergencies, and we treat them that way — especially in winter. We offer same-day and after-hours service across Davie, Davidson, and Forsyth counties. Call us and we'll dispatch a technician as quickly as possible.
What are the most common reasons a furnace stops working?
The most common causes are a dirty or clogged air filter, a tripped limit switch, a faulty ignitor or flame sensor, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a failed inducer motor. Our technician will run a full diagnostic to identify the exact problem before any repair begins.
My furnace runs but the house won't get warm. What's wrong?
This usually points to a cracked heat exchanger, a failing blower motor, severely restricted airflow (often a dirty filter or blocked vents), or a thermostat calibration issue. Some of these — like a cracked heat exchanger — are safety issues that need immediate attention.
Is it safe to run my furnace if it smells like gas?
No. If you smell gas, leave the house immediately, don't flip any switches, and call your gas utility from outside. A gas smell indicates a potential leak that requires emergency response — do not run the furnace until a professional has inspected the system.
How long does a furnace typically last?
Most gas furnaces last 15–25 years with regular maintenance. Heat pumps typically last 12–20 years. If your system is approaching the end of its expected life and requires a costly repair, we'll help you honestly weigh repair vs. replacement so you can make the right call.
Do you repair heat pumps in heating mode?
Yes. Heat pump heating failures are a common service call in the Triad. We diagnose and repair reversing valve issues, refrigerant problems, defrost board failures, and auxiliary heat issues. See our dedicated Heat Pump service page for more detail.
