Reliable Furnace Repair Service Chicago

When your furnace breaks down in January, you need heat back the same day — not a sales pitch. Our technicians carry the parts that fix the majority of furnace breakdowns on the first visit:

  • Hot surface igniters and flame sensors — the two most common no-heat calls we run. A furnace that clicks but never fires, or starts and shuts off after a few seconds, is usually one of these.
  • Inducer and blower motors — humming, grinding, or a furnace that runs but moves no air. We stock universal and OEM motors for the common brands.
  • Limit switches and pressure switches — the safety controls that shut a furnace down when venting or airflow is wrong. We diagnose the cause, not just the code.
  • Gas valves and control boards — repaired or replaced with upfront flat-rate pricing before any work begins.
  • Cracked heat exchangers — the repair-or-replace decision point. We show you the crack with an inspection camera and give you an honest recommendation both ways.

Bryant FurnacesBryant Furnaces: Our Preferred Brand

Around the Town HVAC specializes in Bryant furnace installation. Bryant furnaces offer high efficiency, reliability, and performance for Chicago homes. We recommend Bryant for new furnace installations because of their quality and energy-efficient design.

Bryant Preferred Series: Mid-range, energy-conscious option with up to 96% efficiency and two stages of output.

Bryant Legacy Series: High-efficiency option for quality-focused homeowners who want excellent performance without premium pricing.

Replacing a furnace is a big expense — financing options are available, and estimates on new installations are always free.

Furnace Problems We Fix Every Week in Chicago

Furnace won’t turn on at all. Usually the thermostat, a tripped safety switch, or a failed control board. We check the simple causes first — many no-heat calls are fixed in under an hour.

Furnace starts, then shuts off after a few seconds. The classic short-cycle. Nine times out of ten it’s a dirty flame sensor; the fix is fast and inexpensive.

Blowing cold air. Could be a failed igniter, a gas supply issue, or a heat exchanger safety lockout. This one deserves a same-day diagnosis — some causes are harmless, one is serious.

Banging, screeching, or rumbling. Motors and bearings announce their failure before they quit. Catching it early is the difference between a part swap and an emergency call at 2 AM.

Dust or a burning smell from the vents. Often maintenance-related — we wrote up the causes in why your furnace might be kicking dust into your house.

Heating bills climbing every year. An aging single-stage furnace running at 80% efficiency costs real money in a Chicago winter. Sometimes repair is right; sometimes replacement pays for itself. We’ll show you the math on both.

Furnace Brands We Repair

We repair every major furnace brand sold in Chicago, and our trucks carry the common failure parts for the brands we see most:

Carrier furnace repair — one of our most-requested calls. Carrier and Bryant share engineering, so the parts we stock for our Bryant installs fix Carrier furnaces too — igniters, inducer motors, and control boards included.

Bryant — our preferred installation brand for over three decades. Nobody in Chicago knows them better.

Day & Night, Tempstar, Comfortmaker & Heil — ICP brands built on the same platform as Carrier. Same fixes, same parts, same day.

Goodman, Amana & Daikin — common in newer construction and rehabs across the city.

Lennox, Rheem, Ruud, Trane & York — all serviced, all week long.

Furnace Repair FAQ

How fast can you get here?
Same-day service for most no-heat calls, with 24/7 emergency furnace repair when it can’t wait. During a cold snap, no-heat calls jump the queue.

How much does furnace repair cost in Chicago?
It depends on the part, but you’ll know the flat-rate price before we start any work — no hourly meter running. Common repairs like flame sensors and igniters are on the low end; motors and control boards cost more. If a repair doesn’t make sense, we’ll tell you.

Should I repair or replace my furnace?
Our rule of thumb: if the furnace is over 15 years old and the repair costs more than a third of a replacement, replacement usually wins — especially with a cracked heat exchanger. We give you an honest quote on both and financing options for new installs.

Do you service my brand?
Yes. We repair all major brands and stock parts for Carrier, Bryant, and the ICP family (Day & Night, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, Heil). New installations are Bryant.

Are your technicians licensed?
Licensed, insured, and NATE-certified, with 30+ years serving Chicago. See our business licenses.
