Common Furnace Problems We Repair in Abbotsford
- Furnace won’t turn on: Check that the thermostat is set to heat, the breaker hasn’t tripped and the furnace door panel is closed tightly, since an open panel trips a safety switch. If everything checks out, the cause is often a failed igniter, flame sensor or gas valve.
- Blowing cold air: Make sure the thermostat is on heat and set above room temperature, then check your filter. If the air still runs cold, the burners may not be lighting or the flame sensor may be shutting them down.
- Turns on and off frequently: Short cycling is often caused by a clogged filter, so replace it first. If it continues, an overheating heat exchanger, a dirty flame sensor or a thermostat problem may be to blame.
- Runs constantly: A furnace that never shuts off usually points to a faulty thermostat, blocked vents or leaky ductwork that keeps the house from reaching temperature.
- Uneven heating: Rooms that stay cold can mean a struggling blower motor, closed or blocked vents, or duct problems.
- Strange noises: Banging, squealing, rattling or rumbling can signal a delayed ignition, a worn blower bearing or loose parts. Call a technician before a small problem turns into a breakdown.
- Yellow or flickering flame: A healthy burner flame is steady and blue. A yellow flame can mean incomplete combustion, which needs prompt attention.
- Water around the furnace: High efficiency furnaces produce condensation, so a blocked drain line or failed condensate pump can cause leaks and shut the system down.
- Unusual smells: A brief dusty smell at the start of the season is normal. A burning electrical smell is not. If you ever smell gas, leave your home and call FortisBC right away.
- Rising heating bills: A furnace that is working harder than it should will show up on your gas bill well before it breaks down.
If your furnace is showing any of these problems, call Hammer’s Heating and Cooling today for furnace repair in Abbotsford, BC. Many of these issues can be prevented with an annual furnace tune up.

Emergency Furnace Repair in Abbotsford
A furnace breakdown during a winter cold snap is more than an inconvenience, especially for families with young children, seniors or anyone with health concerns. We prioritize no heat calls in Abbotsford and work to get a technician to you as quickly as possible. Call us as early in the day as you can so we can fit you in.
While you wait, a few steps can help:
- Check the thermostat settings and batteries, the breaker and the furnace power switch
- Replace a dirty filter, since a clogged filter can trigger a safety shutdown
- Keep interior doors open and close blinds to hold in heat
- Use portable heaters safely and keep them clear of anything flammable
If you smell gas, do not touch light switches or try to find the leak. Leave your home immediately and call the FortisBC emergency line at 1‑800‑663‑9911 or 911 from outside.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Furnace?
Most furnace problems in Abbotsford can be fixed with a straightforward repair. But when a furnace is getting older, putting more money into it doesn’t always make sense. Replacement is usually the better choice when:
- Your furnace is 15 to 20 years old or more
- The repair would cost more than half the price of a new furnace
- You’ve needed several repairs over the last couple of winters
- Your heating bills keep climbing even after repairs
- The heat exchanger is cracked, which is a safety issue on most older furnaces
We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way. If replacement makes more sense, see our furnace replacement options. Many Abbotsford homeowners also pair a new furnace with a heat pump to create a dual fuel system that qualifies for FortisBC rebates and adds summer cooling.
How Much Does Furnace Repair Cost in Abbotsford?
The cost of furnace repair in Abbotsford depends on what has failed, the age of your furnace and whether parts are readily available. As a general guide:
- Minor repairs such as cleaning a flame sensor, replacing a filter or fixing a thermostat issue typically fall between $150 and $400
- Mid range repairs such as replacing an igniter, capacitor, pressure switch or condensate pump typically fall between $400 and $900
- Major repairs such as a blower motor, inducer motor or control board can run $900 or more
Every repair starts with a diagnosis, and we give you a clear quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises. We’re currently offering $50 off any repair valued at $300 or more, and Comfort Club members save 10% on all repairs plus a reduced diagnostic fee.

Annual maintenance is the best way to prevent breakdowns. A tune up in early fall catches worn parts before the cold weather arrives, and changing your filter every one to three months keeps air flowing freely. Book furnace maintenance in Abbotsford.
