Furnace Repair in Lakewood

On older 80% furnaces: worn hot-surface igniters, dirty flame sensors, failing inducer motors and limit switches that trip because of restricted return air. On condensing furnaces: condensate problems and pressure-switch lockouts. On anything over about 20 years old, we look carefully at the heat exchanger, since cracks there can let combustion gases into the airstream.

Elevation is part of it too. At about 5,656 feet, furnaces need to be set up for altitude, and manufacturers typically call for derating input around 4% per 1,000 feet. A furnace that was never adjusted, or was adjusted wrong, can run rich and soot up. We check gas pressure and burner setup and run a carbon monoxide and combustion safety test on every furnace visit.

We confirm the thermostat, filter, power and gas supply, then pull fault codes and test each part of the ignition sequence. You get an upfront flat-rate price before we start, the diagnostic is free when you go ahead with the repair, and there are no overtime fees for nights or weekends. Our trucks are stocked for Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, Bryant and Rheem, so most common repairs are done the same visit. We offer same-day appointments when the schedule allows and run 24/7 for emergencies.

For a 1950s ranch whose 25-year-old furnace has a cracked heat exchanger, replacement is the safe answer, and it's a good time to correct the return-air problems that likely shortened its life. For a 2000s condensing furnace in Solterra with a failed pressure switch or clogged drain, repair is almost always the right call.

If you do replace, the City of Lakewood's Planning and Public Works Department handles mechanical permits; its application covers furnace replacement and the work is inspected. Xcel Energy supplies both gas and electricity in Lakewood, so Xcel's rebate rules apply when you compare a new furnace with a heat pump or dual-fuel setup.
