Quick answer
Spokane HVAC Pros connects you with NATE-certified heating repair technicians for gas furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits. Same-day dispatch for emergency no-heat calls (2-hour window). Average non-emergency response 38 minutes. Flat-rate quote before work starts.
- Average response time in Spokane County: 38 minutes for same-day service calls (2024 data, n=1,840).
- Same-day dispatch rate: 91% of non-emergency calls placed before 2:00 PM, Mon–Sat.
- Common Spokane heating repairs: failed igniter, cracked heat exchanger, faulty flame sensor, blower motor failure, frozen condensate line.
Spokane winters break furnaces. The most common failures — igniter, flame sensor, inducer motor, pressure switch — are all parts we carry on every truck. Most no-heat calls are resolved on the first visit.
The technicians we dispatch are EPA 608 certified for refrigerant work on heat pumps and NATE certified for combustion work on gas furnaces. We pull combustion analysis on every gas furnace service and never ignore a cracked heat exchanger.
What’s included
Every heating repair visit covers:
Igniter, flame sensor, thermocouple service
The three most common gas furnace failures. OEM-spec parts on the truck. Most no-heat calls diagnosed and fixed within 90 minutes.
Inducer motor & pressure switch
Draft inducer diagnostics, replacement, and pressure switch tubing. Includes amp-draw test and vent piping inspection.
Blower motor & control board
PSC and ECM blower diagnostics, module replacement, defrost cycle verification on heat pumps. Includes capacitor test on every visit.
Combustion analysis
Every gas furnace service gets a combustion analyzer sweep — O₂, CO, CO₂, efficiency, draft, and stack temperature. We catch cracked heat exchangers before they kill someone.
Heat pump defrost & reversing valve
Refrigerant pressures, defrost cycle timing, reversing valve diagnostics, and metering device. Spokane’s cold winters expose any weakness in defrost logic.
Boiler service
Pressuretrol, aquastat, circulator pump, expansion tank, and relief valve service. Hydronic systems common in older Spokane homes get full annual maintenance.
When to call
Signs you need heating repair now
Some signs mean you should call today, not next week. Catch them early and you save the equipment.
- 01
No heat at all
Most common causes: pilot light/igniter failure, tripped breaker, blown fuse on the board, failed thermostat. We diagnose in order.
- 02
Furnace short-cycling
Flame sensor, pressure switch, overheating (dirty filter), or thermostat location. Quick fix usually.
- 03
Yellow flame instead of blue
Combustion problem — could be a cracked heat exchanger. We test and tell you straight whether to repair or replace.
- 04
Burning smell or burning eyes
CO leak risk. Open windows, leave the house, call us immediately. Same-day dispatch for combustion issues.
- 05
Heat pump frozen
Defrost cycle failure or low refrigerant. Turn it off (running it frozen destroys the compressor) and call.
- 06
Boiler losing pressure
Likely a leak in the expansion tank, relief valve, or a baseboard loop. We pressure-test to find it.
- 07
Loud bang or boom on startup
Delayed ignition — gas buildup before ignition. Combustion hazard. Stop use and call.

Heating Repair questions
Heating Repair FAQ
2-hour window 7 days a week from October through March. Calls received after 8pm get next-morning priority dispatch. We always have a tech on-call through Spokane County nights.
Yes — Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, American Standard, Bryant, Payne, Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, Daikin, Bosch. We pull model-specific specs before the visit.
Yes. Cracked heat exchangers leak combustion gases (including CO) into the airstream. We won’t condemn a unit for a hairline crack without verification, but a confirmed crack means replacement. We use a combustion analyzer and visual inspection — not a sales pitch.
Usually a flame sensor or igniter issue. Sometimes a failing control board trying to light. Either way, schedule service before it stops lighting entirely.
Use the $5,000 rule: (system age × repair cost). If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement usually wins. We’ll show you the math either way.
Like-for-like 96% AFUE gas furnace install runs $5,800–$9,400 depending on size and ductwork modifications. We’ll quote the actual cost after a Manual J load calc on your home.
Yes — older Spokane homes still have oil furnaces. Beckett and Riello burners, standard service. If you’re considering converting to gas or heat pump, we’ll quote both options.
Every lead technician holds NATE certification. Our service techs train year-round through ACCA and NATE continuing education.

Methodology
How we determined this ▾
How we sourced our flat-rate pricing ranges
Pricing ranges are aggregated from completed invoices issued by contractors in our referral network across Spokane County between January 2024 and May 2025. Each range represents the 25th–75th percentile of observed final invoice totals for the named work item, after the diagnostic fee. Outlier invoices (under $200 or over $25,000) are excluded. Ranges do not include permit fees, parts taxes, or after-hours surcharges. Your technician writes the actual quote after on-site diagnosis.
How we measure average response time
"Response time" is the interval from completed intake call to first technician arrival on site, measured across 1,840 service calls completed in 2024. Emergency (no-heat / no-cool / gas-leak) calls are excluded from the average and tracked separately. Same-day service is available for non-emergency calls placed before 2:00pm.
How we measure the first-time fix rate
A "first-time fix" is a service call resolved on the initial visit with no return trip required for the same issue. Tracked across 1,840 completed service calls in 2024. Calls requiring a return trip for warranty parts, third-party software/firmware updates, or homeowner-cancelled follow-ups are excluded from the denominator.
Glossary
Terms we use on this page ▾
- AFUE
- Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. The percentage of fuel energy converted to usable heat in a furnace over a typical year.
- A 96% AFUE gas furnace wastes 4% of fuel energy, mostly as vented exhaust. Modern condensing furnaces in Washington must be 95% AFUE or higher. The DOE federally mandates 80% AFUE as the minimum for new gas furnaces as of 2021.
- Source: DOE 10 CFR 430
- NATE certification
- North American Technician Excellence. An independent certification for HVAC technicians, with separate exams in air conditioning, heat pumps, gas furnaces, and air distribution.
- NATE-certified techs pass proctored exams on installation, service, and diagnostics. We require NATE certification for every lead technician we refer. Washington State doesn’t require NATE, but it’s the de facto industry standard for competency.
- Source: NATE
- EPA 608
- The U.S. EPA’s refrigerant-handling certification, required for any technician who opens an AC or heat-pump refrigerant circuit.
- There are four EPA 608 types: Type I (small appliances), Type II (high-pressure), Type III (low-pressure), and Universal (all). Every HVAC tech in our network holds Universal 608. This is the minimum federal requirement to legally recover and recharge refrigerant.
