Expert Diagnostics & Repair

Common Furnace Problems We Repair Every Day

After more than a decade of furnace repair work across Bensenville and the surrounding Illinois communities, we've encountered every type of furnace failure imaginable.

Furnace Won't Turn On

This is the call we get most often — especially on the coldest days of the year. A furnace that won't start can be caused by a variety of issues.

Faulty thermostat, tripped circuit breaker, malfunctioning ignition system, or a safety switch that has been triggered. Our technicians systematically work through the electrical and mechanical components to pinpoint the exact cause.

We check power supply, thermostat operation, safety switches, ignition components, and gas supply in a systematic order to quickly identify why your furnace won't start.

Furnace won't turn on? We'll get to the bottom of it fast.

Schedule Repair

Furnace Blowing Cold Air

Few things are more frustrating than a furnace that runs but only pushes cold air through your vents.

Malfunctioning flame sensor, dirty or cracked heat exchanger, issues with the gas valve, or thermostat miscalibration. We check the entire heating sequence from ignition to heat exchange to air distribution.

We systematically test each component in the heating process to identify exactly where the problem occurs and implement the appropriate repair.

Getting cold air instead of heat? We'll restore your furnace's heating capability.

Schedule Repair

Short Cycling

When a furnace turns on and off repeatedly in short intervals, it's known as short cycling. This puts excessive wear on the system's components and drives up energy bills.

Clogged air filter restricting airflow, overheating heat exchanger, malfunctioning thermostat, or an oversized unit. We identify the specific cause and implement the correct repair.

Short cycling reduces efficiency, increases wear on components, and can lead to premature system failure. Addressing it quickly saves money and extends furnace life.

Furnace cycling on and off too frequently? We'll identify and fix the root cause.

Schedule Repair

Strange Noises from the Furnace

Banging, squealing, rattling, and humming sounds from your furnace all point to different problems.

Banging when starting could indicate delayed ignition or expanding ductwork. Squealing typically points to a belt or blower motor bearing issue. Rattling often means loose components or panels.

We diagnose the specific noise to its source and repair or replace the affected component before it leads to a more serious failure.

Hearing unusual sounds from your furnace? We'll identify and fix the source.

Schedule Repair

Pilot Light or Ignition Problems

Modern furnaces use electronic ignition systems — either hot surface igniters or intermittent pilot systems. When these components fail, the furnace can't produce heat.

Older systems with standing pilot lights can experience thermocouple failures, draft problems, or gas supply issues. Our technicians are experienced with all ignition types across every major furnace brand.

Ignition system not working? We repair all types of furnace ignition systems.

Schedule Repair

High Energy Bills Without Increased Usage

If your heating bills have spiked but your usage hasn't changed, your furnace may be losing efficiency due to a failing component.

Dirty burners, a cracked heat exchanger, a worn blower motor, or leaking ductwork can all force your furnace to work harder and consume more fuel. We perform a comprehensive efficiency assessment to identify what's costing you money.

Energy bills climbing unexpectedly? We'll find what's causing the inefficiency.

Schedule Repair

Frequent Cycling and Thermostat Issues

Sometimes the problem isn't the furnace itself — it's the thermostat. A malfunctioning or poorly calibrated thermostat can cause erratic furnace behavior, uneven heating, and comfort complaints.

We evaluate the entire control system, including the thermostat, wiring, and control board, to ensure everything communicates correctly.

Thermostat not controlling your furnace properly? We'll diagnose and fix the control system.

Honest Guidance

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Furnace

One of the questions we hear most often is: "Should I repair my furnace or replace it?" There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but here are some general guidelines our team uses when advising homeowners.

Consider Repair When

  • The furnace is less than 12-15 years old
  • The repair cost is relatively modest compared to replacement
  • The issue is isolated and not part of a pattern of failures
  • The system has been regularly maintained

Consider Replacement When

  • The furnace is 15-20+ years old
  • Repair costs are approaching a significant portion of the replacement cost
  • You've had multiple repairs in the past few years
  • The heat exchanger is cracked or compromised
  • Your energy bills have been steadily increasing

We always give you our honest assessment and help you weigh the factors that matter most for your situation. If a replacement is the better path, we offer new furnace installations from top brands including Ducane, Carrier, Goodman, Trane, and American Standard, all backed by our 5 year labor warranty and 10 year parts warranty.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Repair in Bensenville, IL

We offer 24/7 emergency furnace repair service throughout Bensenville and our entire service area. When you call us with a heating emergency, we prioritize getting a technician to your home as quickly as possible. Response times depend on current demand and your location, but we understand the urgency and respond accordingly.

Before you call, we recommend checking a few simple things: make sure your thermostat is set to "heat" and the temperature is set above the current room temperature, check that the furnace's power switch is in the on position, verify that the circuit breaker for the furnace hasn't tripped, and check if the air filter is excessively dirty or clogged. If none of these solve the problem, give us a call at 630-793-6150.

Generally, if your furnace is under 15 years old and the repair is straightforward, repair is usually the better option. If your furnace is older, has needed multiple repairs recently, or has a cracked heat exchanger, replacement may make more financial sense. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment and help you make the right decision for your home and budget.

Yes. While we are an authorized Ducane Dealer and specialize in Ducane equipment, our technicians are experienced in repairing furnaces from Carrier, Goodman, Trane, American Standard, and virtually every other major brand. If you're unsure whether we can work on your furnace, just give us a call.

Yes, a cracked heat exchanger is a serious safety concern because it can allow carbon monoxide to enter your home's living spaces. If our technician identifies a cracked heat exchanger, we'll explain the situation thoroughly and recommend the appropriate course of action, which typically involves furnace replacement given the cost and safety implications of heat exchanger failure.

We recommend annual furnace maintenance, ideally performed in the fall before the heating season begins. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the life of your furnace, and keeps the system running efficiently. DS Heating and Cooling offers residential and commercial maintenance plans to make this easy and affordable.

Our furnace tune-up includes a thorough inspection and cleaning of the burner assembly, heat exchanger inspection, blower motor and belt evaluation, electrical connection tightening, thermostat calibration, safety control testing, air filter check, and carbon monoxide testing. This comprehensive service helps ensure your furnace runs safely and efficiently throughout the heating season.

Absolutely. A severely clogged air filter restricts airflow, which can cause the heat exchanger to overheat and trigger the high-limit safety switch, shutting the furnace down. This is one of the most common and most preventable causes of furnace failure. We recommend checking your filter monthly during the heating season and replacing it as needed.

We offer financing through Goodleap that can help with furnace replacement costs. For standard repairs, payment is typically due at the time of service. If a repair assessment leads to a replacement recommendation, our Goodleap financing options make it easier to invest in a new, reliable furnace system.

DS Heating and Cooling provides furnace repair services throughout Bensenville, IL and the surrounding communities, including Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Burr Ridge, Plainfield, and Wheaton. Our 24/7 emergency service covers our entire service area.
