Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair
Furnace problems can show warning signs before the system stops heating, and catching them early usually keeps the repair toward the lower end of the typical $200 to $900 range. Here is what common symptoms tend to mean.
No Heat at All
Common causes include a failed igniter or flame sensor, both wear items on gas furnaces. Repairs like these usually sit toward the lower end of the range, and many can be completed on the first visit when the part is available.
Blowing Cold Air
Possible causes include a pressure switch, limit switch or flame sensor issue keeping the burners from staying lit. Once diagnosed, this is typically a lower-to-mid-range repair.
Banging, Rattling or Squealing
Banging on start-up can signal delayed ignition, rattling a loose panel, and squealing a worn blower motor or belt. Early attention usually keeps these repairs smaller.
Short-Cycling On and Off
Short-cycling can result from thermostat, airflow, ignition, control or overheating problems, and a diagnostic identifies the cause before the wear compounds.
Rising Heating Bills
A sudden increase in your gas bill without a change in habits can mean the furnace is working harder than it should, often from a dirty burner or clogged filter.
Carbon Monoxide Detector Triggered
Treat this as urgent. Leave the building and get help first, using the gas safety steps below. A confirmed cracked heat exchanger is a serious safety issue: keep the furnace off until a qualified technician has assessed the repair and replacement options.
Gas safety: If you smell gas or your carbon monoxide detector goes off, leave the building first, then call 911 or the FortisBC Emergency Line at 1-800-663-9911 (24 hours). Do not operate the furnace, light any flames or use electrical switches inside until the system has been checked.
Common Furnace Repairs We Complete in Surrey
These are common faults across Surrey homes, strata properties and commercial buildings, and how they are handled.
Flame Sensor and Ignition Faults
A dirty or degraded flame sensor can cause repeated safety shutdowns. Once diagnosis confirms the sensor, cleaning or replacement can often be completed on the first visit.
Blower Motor Problems
The blower circulates heated air through your ductwork. When it slows or fails, the home stays cold even while the burner fires. Motor work generally sits toward the upper end of the repair range.
Heat Exchanger Inspection
A cracked heat exchanger can allow carbon monoxide into circulated air, so heat exchanger condition is checked during the diagnostic. A confirmed crack usually starts a repair-versus-replace conversation.
Gas Valve Faults
A faulty gas valve cuts fuel to the burner, causing failed ignition and no heat. Gas work is performed by certified, professional and bonded gas technicians licensed with Technical Safety BC.
Control Board Faults
The control board coordinates every furnace operation, and faults cause erratic cycling, ignition failures or error codes. We test before replacing, so you only pay for what the diagnosis supports.
Filters and Airflow Issues
Restricted airflow forces overheating and safety shutdowns, and is especially common where systems run continuously. Filter and airflow checks are part of the diagnostic.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Furnace?
A widely used guide is the 50 percent rule: if a major repair quote is more than half the cost of a new installation and the furnace is well into its service life, replacement often delivers better long-term value. A new furnace installation typically costs $3,500 to $7,500 with permits included, and qualifying new installations include a 10-year parts and labour warranty, with terms provided in writing with your installation quote. Brands we install include Trane, Continental, York, Ducane, Lennox and Bosch. Some homeowners also consider a heat pump at replacement time, which adds summer cooling.
As of 2026, rebates for qualifying high-efficiency upgrades are available through provincial and utility programs, with offers listed at our BC rebates page and betterhomesbc.ca. FortisBC's current residential furnace rebates are primarily tied to converting a home heated with oil or propane to natural gas, with pre-qualification required before installation. Amounts, deadlines and eligibility change by program cycle. As a FortisBC Trade Ally Network member, Vanheat Services guides you through the applicable programs and helps you confirm eligibility with the program before you commit. 3, 6 and 9 months no payment, no interest financing is available through Financeit on qualifying installations. Check fortisbc.com for current offers.
