Furnace repair & replacement

Common furnace problems
No heat, repeated shutdowns, unusual sounds, weak airflow, uneven rooms and a furnace that runs without reaching the thermostat setting all call for a proper diagnosis. If the need is urgent, call rather than waiting on an online request.
The thermostat calls for heat, but the furnace does not start or stay running.
The system starts and stops repeatedly without completing a normal heating cycle.
Some rooms stay cold, airflow feels weak or the furnace cannot keep up.
Banging, scraping, electrical smells or persistent unusual odors should be checked promptly.
Repair or replace?
System condition, repair history, comfort, efficiency and the cost of the current failure matter more than a single rule of thumb.
