Kirkland winters are more damp than harsh. Weeks of drizzle, overnight lows in the 30s, and wind coming off Lake Washington keep most furnaces running from October well into spring. That long season adds up to a lot of run time, and when a furnace starts blowing cool air, cycling on and off, or refusing to light, the house cools down quickly.

Whatever furnace your home has, our technicians are trained to repair it, and our service vans are stocked with common parts so most repairs are finished in a single visit.
Gas Furnace Repair
Most Kirkland homes heat with natural gas. We repair failed igniters, dirty flame sensors, faulty gas valves, inducer motors, and pressure switches that keep a burner from lighting or staying lit.
Electric Furnace Repair
Electric furnaces lose heating capacity when an element, sequencer, or relay fails. We test each circuit, replace worn components, and confirm the furnace delivers its full rated output.
High-Efficiency and Variable-Speed Furnace Repair
High-efficiency furnaces use condensing heat exchangers, multi-stage gas valves, and variable-speed blowers. We diagnose the control boards, condensate drains, and PVC venting these systems depend on, including the clogged drain lines that cause many shutdowns.
Thermostat and Control Board Repair
Sometimes the furnace is fine and the controls are not. We check thermostat wiring, communication between the thermostat and furnace, and the control board’s error codes before recommending any parts.
Blower Motor and Airflow Repair
If the furnace runs but some rooms stay cold, the blower motor, capacitor, or ductwork may be restricting airflow. We repair the blower and check filters, registers, and ducts so warm air reaches every room.
Signs Your Kirkland Furnace Needs Repair
Furnaces usually show warning signs before they stop working. Schedule a repair visit if you notice:
- Cool or lukewarm air from the vents while the furnace is running
- The furnace turning on and off every few minutes (see why a furnace short cycles)
- Clicking, banging, rattling, or squealing sounds
- A furnace that will not start, or a thermostat that seems to have no effect
- Water pooling around the base of a high-efficiency furnace
- A burning or electrical smell that continues past the first few days of the heating season
- Rooms that stay noticeably colder than the rest of the house
If your furnace is running but the air feels cold, our guide on why a furnace blows cold air covers the most common causes.
