Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. Madison County also had 3 tornado days in that period. In Anderson, 19.3% of residents are 65 or older. For older adults, a house with no heat in January or no AC during a heat wave is a medical risk. Mention it when you call, since many companies put those calls first.

Symptoms Worth a Service Call

  • A yellow or flickering flame instead of a steady blue one
  • The thermostat calls for heat and nothing happens
  • The blower won't stop running
  • Banging, squealing or rattling from the furnace
  • The burners light, then shut off a few seconds later

What Moves the Price

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

For Anderson we lowered the national figures about 6%, based on local income, home values and climate-based equipment sizing. Get at least three written quotes; real bids can land outside this range.

What the Quote Should Cover

  • Replacing the part that failed
  • A test run through a full heating cycle
  • A diagnostic check
  • A safety and combustion check

Indiana Licensing and Efficiency Rules

Indiana falls in the DOE's North region. New split central air conditioners must meet at least 13.4 SEER2, and heat pumps sold anywhere in the U.S. need 14.3 SEER2 and 7.5 HSPF2. Most repairs don't need a permit. Anyone who opens the refrigerant circuit does need EPA Section 608 certification, and in Indiana the company should carry a state license or registration. Ask for both.

Before You Hire

  • Ask whether the diagnostic fee comes off the repair bill.
  • Check the filter, the thermostat batteries and the breaker first. Those three cause a surprising number of no-heat calls.
  • Have the model and serial number from the furnace label handy. Parts get ordered faster.
