Whether it’s a faulty furnace, a heat pump issue, or uneven warmth in your home, our skilled technicians diagnose problems quickly and restore comfort with lasting solutions you can rely on.
Know the Signs Before Your Heat Goes Out
A forced-air heating system depends on three key elements:
- Combustion or Heat Generation – gas burners, heat exchangers, or heat pump refrigerant cycles.
- Air Distribution – blower motors and duct systems that deliver conditioned air evenly.
- Controls and Safety Circuits – limit switches, flame sensors, ignition modules, and thermostats that regulate operation.
- Any imbalance in these systems—whether a cracked heat exchanger, failing inducer motor, or shorted control board—can reduce output efficiency and pose potential safety hazards. Daniels technicians perform complete system diagnostics, verifying combustion integrity, electrical load balance, and static pressure to restore full design performance.
How We Approach Every Repair Call
Comprehensive Diagnostic Scan
- Measure voltage, amperage, and static pressure at key test points.

- Inspect blower assembly, inducer motor, flame sensor, and ignition sequence.
Component Testing & Replacement
- Perform resistance tests on motors, pressure switches, and limit circuits.
- Clean flame sensors and burners to ensure stable ignition.
- Replace worn parts (igniters, capacitors, relays) using manufacturer-rated components.
System Calibration & Verification
- Confirm proper gas manifold pressure or heat pump refrigerant balance.
- Check temperature rise and ensure airflow matches design CFM.
- Verify thermostat communication and safety shutdown operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does furnace repair cost in Bel Air?
It depends on the issue. Minor fixes like ignitor replacements or thermostat malfunctions are more affordable, while blower or control board repairs may cost more. We’ll diagnose the problem and provide a clear quote before any work begins.
How often should I schedule furnace maintenance?
We recommend a full furnace tune-up once per year—typically in the fall—to keep your system efficient and reduce the chance of breakdowns.
My furnace is 15+ years old. Should I repair or replace it?
If your furnace is nearing the end of its lifespan, constantly breaking down, or driving up your utility bills, we may recommend replacement.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
This could be caused by a dirty filter, malfunctioning thermostat, pilot light issue, or a more serious internal fault. A service call will help identify the exact problem.
Can I fix my furnace myself?
For your safety, we don’t recommend DIY furnace repairs beyond checking filters or thermostat settings. Gas and electrical systems are best handled by trained professionals.
