Common Furnace Problems We Repair in Kingston
Even a well-maintained furnace develops faults over time and in a Kingston winter, most of them can’t wait. Here are the problems our technicians are called out for most often, what usually causes them, and what to do before we arrive.
Furnace Blowing Cold Air
- Faulty Ignition System – A malfunctioning igniter or dirty pilot assembly can stop the burner from igniting.
- Dirty Flame Sensor – A soot-covered flame sensor fails to detect the flame, causing the system to shut off as a safety precaution.
- Thermostat Issues – Problems like misconfiguration, dead batteries, or faulty wiring can prevent your furnace from producing heat.
Furnace Won’t Turn On
- Tripped Circuit Breaker – A power surge or overloaded circuit can trip the breaker, cutting power to your furnace.
- Blower Motor Failure – A defective blower motor or a damaged capacitor can prevent the furnace from running or circulating warm air.
- Clogged Air Filter – A blocked air filter restricts airflow, causing the furnace to overheat and triggering the high-limit switch, which shuts the system down.
Strange Noises or Smells
- Banging or Rattling – Loose components, delayed ignition, or a malfunctioning blower motor can result in strange noises.
- Burning Smell – Dust burning off the heat exchanger, overheated electrical parts, or a worn-out blower motor may produce a burning smell.
- Gas Smell – A gas leak is a serious safety hazard—turn off your furnace, leave the area immediately, and contact a professional.
If you’re experiencing any of these problems, Haven Home Heating and Air Conditioning’s certified technicians are ready to help. We’ll quickly diagnose the issue, offer clear repair options with upfront pricing, and restore your furnace’s efficiency.

Choose expert furnace repair in Kingston that gets the job done right, the first time. Whether it’s a minor fix or urgent emergency furnace repair, Haven Home Heating and Air Conditioning is available 24/7 to help keep your home warm and worry-free!
How Often Should I Have My Furnace Serviced?
Have your furnace serviced once a year, ideally in early fall before the heating season starts. In Kingston that means booking between September and early November. Annual maintenance keeps the manufacturer’s warranty valid – most require documented yearly service and a technician will clean the burners and flame sensor, test the heat exchanger for cracks, check gas pressure and carbon monoxide levels, and replace the filter.
How Much Does a Furnace Repair Cost?
Furnace repair costs vary depending on the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a dirty filter or faulty thermostat are usually inexpensive, while more involved repairs, such as a broken blower motor, damaged heat exchanger, or malfunctioning control board, can cost more due to parts and labour.
How Many Years Does a Furnace Last?
A gas furnace lasts 15 to 20 years on average, though Kingston’s long heating season puts these systems under more load than milder parts of Ontario. High-efficiency condensing furnaces typically reach the upper end with annual maintenance. Once a furnace is past 15 years and needs a repair costing more than a third of a replacement, replacement is usually the better decision.
Can I Repair My Furnace Myself?
You can safely change the air filter, reset the breaker, check thermostat settings and clear snow from the exhaust vent. Everything beyond that requires a licensed technician. In Ontario, work on gas appliances legally requires TSSA certification – uncertified repairs void your warranty and can invalidate home insurance. If you smell gas, leave the house immediately and call the emergency line from outside.
Why Is My Furnace Blowing Cold Air?
The most common causes are a thermostat set to “on” instead of “auto,” a dirty flame sensor, or a failed igniter. If the fan setting is on “on,” the blower runs continuously and circulates room-temperature air between heating cycles. Switch it to “auto” first. If that doesn’t fix it, a soot-covered flame sensor or failed igniter is stopping the burner from lighting, and both need a technician.
How Long Does a Furnace Last in Ontario?
Most furnaces in Ontario last 15 to 20 years. Ontario’s heating season runs roughly seven months, so furnaces here accumulate more running hours than in milder climates. Annual maintenance is the single biggest factor in reaching 20 years.
Do High-Efficiency Furnaces Last Longer?
Not necessarily. A high-efficiency furnaces last about as long as conventional models, typically 15 to 20 years. They’re more complex, with a secondary heat exchanger and condensate system that need regular servicing.
Do I Need an Emergency Furnace Repair, or Can It Wait Until Morning?
Call immediately if you smell gas, hear banging at startup, see the furnace leaking water near electrical components, or have no heat at all in freezing Kingston temperatures. A furnace that’s still producing some heat, cycling oddly or making a rattling noise can usually wait for a scheduled appointment. We answer calls 7 days a week, 365 days a year in Kingston, Ontario and nearby areas.
