Symptoms Worth a Service Call

  • A yellow or flickering flame instead of a steady blue one
  • Cold air coming out of the vents
  • The blower won't stop running
  • The burners light, then shut off a few seconds later
  • Banging, squealing or rattling from the furnace

What Moves the Price

  • The diagnostic or service call fee
  • Night, weekend or holiday rates
  • The furnace's age and brand, which affect parts availability
  • Which part failed: a flame sensor costs far less than a control board or blower motor
  • Whether the part is still under the manufacturer warranty

Florida Licensing and Efficiency Rules

Florida is in the DOE's Southeast region, where new split central air conditioners need at least 14.3 SEER2 (13.8 SEER2 for systems of 45,000 BTU/h and up). Most repairs don't need a permit. Anyone who opens the refrigerant circuit does need EPA Section 608 certification, and in Florida the company should carry a state license or registration. Ask for both.

Before You Hire

  • If the furnace is past 15, ask the tech to price both a repair and a replacement.
  • Ask whether the diagnostic fee comes off the repair bill.
  • Have the model and serial number from the furnace label handy. Parts get ordered faster.
