No heat tonight?We run 24/7 for this.

Most repairs run $165–$1,195 depending on the part. Flame sensor clean or replace $165–$249. Hot surface igniter $285–$389. Control board $485–$795. Inducer motor $595–$895. Blower motor $595–$1,195. Heat exchanger replacement $1,495–$2,995 — at that number, replacing the furnace is usually the smarter move and we'll say so. Everything is flat-rate and written down before work begins.

80% AFUE standard furnace: $4,995–$7,495. 92–95% AFUE high-efficiency: $6,995–$9,995. 95%+ AFUE two-stage or variable premium: $8,995–$12,995. Heat pump conversion runs $11,995–$22,995 with up to $3,500 in stacked rebates. Every replacement is quoted on site after a heat-load calculation, not from the size of the old box.

Tier 1 dispatch zones — Haledon, Paterson, Clifton, Hackensack, Hawthorne, Teaneck, Newark, Montclair — are on site within 60–90 minutes at any hour. Tier 2 — Mahwah, Morristown, Parsippany — runs 2–3 hours. Dispatch is 24/7 from our Haledon HQ and December-to-February no-heat calls get top priority.

A direct replacement on the same fuel and similar capacity is one day, roughly 7am to 4pm. A new high-efficiency install needing PVC venting and condensate is one to one-and-a-half days. Furnace and A/C combined is one-and-a-half to two days. A heat pump conversion is two days.

Yes. 0% APR for 12 months on jobs over $1,500 through GreenSky or Synchrony, and 12–84 month fixed-APR plans for larger jobs. Soft credit check with no impact to apply, and most approvals come back in under 60 seconds. Financing stacks with rebates.

Three causes. It may simply be in a startup or cooldown cycle, which is normal. The pilot may be out or the igniter failed, so the blower runs with no flame. Or it's an overheat shutdown from a dirty filter or blocked vents tripping the high limit. If it persists past one cycle, turn it off and call — cold air means the burner isn't firing.

Top causes: an oversized furnace, which is the most common in NJ housing stock and can't be fixed with a part; a dirty filter restricting airflow and tripping the high-limit; a faulty flame sensor letting the flame establish then drop; a bad thermostat or one mounted in the wrong place; or a failing inducer motor. We diagnose it in about 30 minutes.

No. A gas flame should be steady and blue. Yellow means incomplete combustion, which can produce carbon monoxide. Shut the furnace off and call us. The same applies to soot around the unit or a CO detector that has sounded even once — this is a 24/7 call for us, not a next-available appointment.

Three questions. Age — under 12 years usually repair, over 18 usually replace. Which part failed — igniter, flame sensor, capacitor and motors are repair-grade, while a heat exchanger or control board failure on an older unit is replace-grade. And cost — if the repair is over 50% of a replacement, replace it.

Fifteen to twenty years if it's maintained. We still see 25-year-old units running, but heat exchanger fatigue and efficiency loss usually make replacement the right call somewhere around year 16 to 18.

Combustion analysis, gas pressure check, flame sensor clean, condensate trap inspection, blower motor amp draw, filter replacement and a leak test. It's $189 and takes about 75 minutes. The combustion analysis is the part most companies skip and the part most likely to catch something dangerous early.

AFUE is Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency — how much of the gas you buy becomes actual heat. The NJ minimum for new installs is 80%. A 92–95% mid-tier unit saves roughly $300 a year against 80% in a Northern NJ winter, and 96–98% premium saves about $150 a year beyond that. Payback on the upgrade is typically five to seven years.

In the order we recommend them: Rheem Prestige for best value with a 10-year parts warranty — we're a Rheem Pro Partner. Carrier Infinity for premium build and a deep NJ dealer network. Trane S9V2 for long-haul reliability. Lennox SLP for the highest-efficiency variable-speed option. Bryant is Carrier-built at lower cost. For a mid-budget home, the Rheem 95 AFUE two-stage is the value pick.

Yes — including above-ground oil tank decommissioning, soil testing where the tank was buried, the new gas line run and the new gas furnace install. All-in it typically runs $7,995–$14,995, with payback in New Jersey usually four to seven years. NJ Clean Energy rebates are often $500–$1,500 on a conversion. We coordinate every permit.

Yes, it's mandatory under the NJ Uniform Construction Code — a mechanical permit at $75–$250, plus an electrical permit on most installs. We pull them same-day and coordinate the inspection. A furnace installed without a permit voids the manufacturer warranty and creates a liability when you sell the house.

The NJ Clean Energy Program offers $300–$1,200 on 95%+ AFUE furnaces. PSE&G and JCP&L utility rebates add $100–$500. The federal tax credit runs up to $600 on qualifying high-efficiency furnaces at 96%+ AFUE. Stacked, that's often $1,000–$2,500 off a premium install, and we file the paperwork.

Often yes. The indoor coil has to match a modern condenser for the SEER2 rating to actually be achieved. Combined-install labour saves roughly $800–$1,500 against two separate jobs. Manufacturer rebates are richer on matched systems. And if the furnace is 15+ years old, the A/C is usually the same vintage. We quote both ways so you can see it.

Parts: 10-year manufacturer warranty on Rheem, Carrier, Trane and Lennox premium models, with a 20-year heat exchanger, registered within 60 days — we do that automatically, because coverage doesn't start until someone does. Workmanship: 2 years on premium installs, 1 year standard. Free re-visit if anything fails in the first year.
