Keep Your Furnace Running All Winter

Alteam HVAC provides furnace repair, maintenance, and replacement for gas heating systems in Detroit homes.

Gas furnaces are the most common heating system in Detroit, and when yours stops working in the middle of winter, you need service that responds quickly and knows how to troubleshoot the issue without guessing. Whether your furnace is cycling on and off repeatedly, blowing cold air, or not starting at all, the problem usually comes down to a faulty ignitor, a clogged filter, or a safety control that has detected a fault. Alteam HVAC handles furnace repairs, seasonal maintenance, and full system replacement for homes that depend on forced-air heating.

Seasonal inspections are done before winter begins to confirm your furnace can operate safely and efficiently when outdoor temperatures drop. The service includes checking gas connections, testing the heat exchanger for cracks, inspecting the blower motor, and verifying that carbon monoxide levels remain within safe limits. If your furnace is older than fifteen years and requires frequent repairs, replacement may be the more reliable option. Alteam HVAC installs high-efficiency furnaces that reduce energy use while improving heating performance across every room in your home.

What Furnace Repair and Replacement Involves

When you call Alteam HVAC for furnace service in Detroit, the technician begins by testing your thermostat, checking airflow at the vents, and listening to how the system cycles. Common repairs include replacing ignitors, cleaning flame sensors, adjusting gas pressure, and swapping out worn blower motors. If the heat exchanger is cracked or the furnace is no longer heating efficiently despite repairs, replacement becomes the safer and more cost-effective solution.

After the repair or installation, your home will heat evenly from room to room, the furnace will run quietly without banging or rattling, and your energy bills will reflect improved efficiency. You will also have peace of mind knowing that carbon monoxide safety controls are functioning correctly and the system has been tested under load.

The service does not include ductwork replacement or insulation upgrades, but the technician will point out issues that could be affecting comfort or efficiency. Furnace service is completed the same day in most cases, so you are not left without heat overnight.

Furnaces are simpler than they seem

Homeowners in Detroit often have similar concerns about furnace repair costs, safety, and whether their system can make it through another winter.

What are the most common furnace problems?
The most common issues include faulty ignitors, dirty flame sensors, clogged air filters, and blower motor failures. Alteam HVAC can diagnose and repair these problems quickly to restore heat to your home.
How often should I have my furnace inspected?
You should schedule a furnace inspection once a year, ideally in the fall before you turn your heat on for the season. Regular inspections reduce the risk of mid-winter breakdowns and keep your system operating safely.
What does a cracked heat exchanger mean?
A cracked heat exchanger allows combustion gases to mix with your home's air, which can create a carbon monoxide hazard. If this is found during inspection, the furnace should not be operated until it is repaired or replaced.
When should I replace my furnace instead of repairing it?
If your furnace is more than fifteen years old, requires frequent repairs, or no longer heats your home evenly, replacement is often the better long-term option. Alteam HVAC will walk you through the costs and benefits of both.
What should I do if my furnace stops working?
Check your thermostat settings and replace the air filter first. If the furnace still will not start, contact Alteam HVAC in Detroit for same-day service to diagnose and repair the issue.
