Top-rated independent heating and cooling across north Georgia and the southern Appalachians
Electric Furnace Repair
We repair electric furnaces and air handlers with electric heat strips in homes across Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Call us when the air from your vents is cool, the breaker keeps tripping, or the blower runs without ever warming up. Before you call, check that the thermostat is set to heat, look for a tripped breaker, change a loaded filter and confirm the supply vents are open. If the problem holds, get in touch and we will schedule a visit.

What electric furnace repair involves
An electric furnace makes heat by pushing air across resistance coils, so a repair usually comes down to finding which part of that chain quit. We test the sequencers that bring the heat strips on in stages, the limit switches that shut things down when airflow drops, the blower motor, and the wiring and lugs carrying high voltage to the elements. A burnt connection or an open element shows up quickly once we have meter readings. We explain what failed and what the fix takes before we start.
What we check on the call
We start at the thermostat and work back to the unit: call for heat, control voltage, transformer, sequencers, elements, and the blower and its capacitor or control board. Airflow gets attention too, because a clogged filter or crushed flex duct in a crawlspace will trip limits and mimic a dead element. We look at the breaker and the disconnect for heat damage, since electric heat draws hard. Many of these homes have heat strips backing up a heat pump, so we verify that changeover is working as intended.
How we decide repair is the right call
If the cabinet and blower are sound and the failure is a sequencer, element, limit or contactor, repair makes sense and the unit goes back to full output. We lean the other way when the element block is scorched across several circuits, the wiring insulation is brittle, or the blower housing is rusted through from crawlspace moisture. On a heat pump system where strips run constantly, the real issue is often the outdoor unit, and we say so rather than replace parts that were never the problem.

Why does my electric furnace trip the breaker?
Usually a shorted heat strip, a failed sequencer holding a stage on, or a loose lug heating up under load. It can also be an undersized or worn breaker. We test under load to find which circuit is drawing wrong.
My vents blow cool air but the blower runs. What is wrong?
The blower and the heat are separate systems. Cool air with the blower running usually means the sequencers, elements or the limit circuit are not letting the heat strips energize. That takes meter testing at the unit.
Do electric furnaces produce carbon monoxide?
No, there is no combustion in an electric furnace. If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds anywhere in the home, leave the building, call 911 or your gas utility from outside, then call us.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form and describe what you hear, smell or feel. Warm air, short cycling, a breaker that keeps tripping. That gives us a head start on the likely cause.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, airflow, electrical connections, refrigerant performance and the outdoor unit. We work the crawlspace and the attic too, because ductwork and drainage cause more trouble than people expect.
- Step 3
You decide, then we fix it
We explain what failed, what it takes to repair it, and what we would watch next season. No work starts until you say go. Most repairs finish the same visit when parts are on the truck.

Why homeowners call us
- Mixed heating is normal to usHeat pumps, propane furnaces and dual-fuel setups all behave differently in cold weather. We know how a heat pump should sound in the thirties and when the backup heat is doing too much of the work.
- We go under the houseRed clay crawlspaces hide crushed ducts, sweating lines and standing water. Comfort problems often start down there, not at the unit, so we look before we start replacing parts you may not need.
- Plain explanationsYou get told what broke and why, in words that make sense. If a repair is a short-term patch on an aging system, we say that out loud so you can plan instead of guessing.
- One crew, six statesWe serve homeowners across Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Same approach in every one: show up, diagnose properly, repair what needs repairing, leave the space clean.
- All major brands, gas & electricOne independent crew for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and more.
- Straight answersNot worth fixing? We say that out loud, and often it saves you the visit fee.
