Homeowners' pick for heating and cooling across north Florida and the Suwannee Valley

Electric Furnace Repair

We repair electric furnaces and electric heat strips in homes across Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. If your vents are blowing cool air on a cold morning, the breaker keeps tripping, or the heat runs and runs without warming the house, that is the call. Start with the safe checks: thermostat settings and batteries, a fresh filter, a tripped breaker, and open vents in every room. If the heat still will not come up, call us and we will schedule a visit to your area.

What Electric Furnace Repair Involves

An electric furnace makes heat by pushing air across resistance heating elements, so a repair usually comes down to finding which part of that chain quit. We test for power at the unit, check the sequencers that bring each heat strip on in stages, look at the limit switches and the blower motor, and confirm the thermostat is actually calling for heat. High-voltage work stays with us. Many homes in the region run heat strips as backup to a heat pump, so we check how the two are working together too.

What We Check and Replace

Heating elements burn open, sequencers stick, contactors pit, and limit switches trip on restricted airflow. We check each of those, plus wiring connections that have loosened from years of heating and cooling cycles. Airflow gets attention as well, since a clogged filter or crushed duct will overheat a furnace and shut it down on limit. If a heat strip is done, we replace it and verify amp draw across each stage so the unit is not pulling more than the wiring and breaker were sized for.

How We Decide Repair Is the Right Call

We look at the age of the air handler, the condition of the blower and cabinet, and how much of the heating side has already been replaced. Swapping one element in an otherwise sound system is straightforward heating repair and we get on with it. If the blower motor, coil and elements are all failing at once, we say so and lay out what a replacement would involve. Either way you get the findings first and make the decision yourself. No surprise work.

Electric Furnace Repair — quick answers

Why does my electric furnace trip the breaker?

Usually a shorted heating element, a failed sequencer holding stages on at once, or a weak breaker. It can also be a blower drawing high amps. This is high-voltage work, so let us test it rather than resetting repeatedly.

My heat pump runs but the house stays cold. Is that the electric heat?

Often yes. Heat strips back up the heat pump on cold mornings, and a burned-out element means the system never catches up. We test each stage and the control that calls for it.

Is a burning smell from electric heat normal?

A faint dusty smell the first run of the season is common. A sharp or persistent burning smell is not. Shut the system off at the thermostat and breaker and call us to inspect it.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Tell us the symptoms

    You describe what changed. No cold air, a breaker that keeps tripping, water near the air handler, a smell, a noise. That gives us a head start on parts before we ever leave the shop.

  2. Step 2

    We diagnose on site

    A technician checks the thermostat, the electrical side, airflow through the filter and coil, refrigerant behavior and the outdoor unit. We look at the whole system, because a frozen coil usually points somewhere else.

  3. Step 3

    You decide the repair

    We explain what failed, what it takes to fix it, and how long the rest of the system is likely to hold up. You pick the repair. We do not start work you did not approve.

Why homeowners call us

  • Rural routes are normal for usWe drive long stretches between calls and we plan for it. Trucks carry the common heat pump and air conditioner repair parts so a diagnosis does not turn into a second trip on a hot afternoon.
  • Heat pumps and sandy soilMost homes we visit run a heat pump, and sand, lawn clippings and pollen pack the outdoor coil fast. We clear it, check the defrost side in winter, and show you what we found before we close it up.
  • Well water housesHomes on well water bring their own quirks, from pump-driven electrical noise to hard water on drain lines and condensate pans. We know where those systems clog and where the slow leaks hide.
  • Heating repair tooCold snaps in this region are short and hard. We do heating repair and heater repair on heat pumps, strip heat and furnaces, so one crew handles your system in July and again in January.
  • All major brands, gas & electricOne independent crew for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and more.
  • Straight answersIf a system is not worth repairing, we say so, often right on the phone.
