Furnace Repair Services Available

Furnaces are an energy-efficient way to heat homes using either electricity or natural gas. Like any other mechanical system in your home, furnaces will need repairs from time to time as well as periodic maintenance to keep them working properly. If you’ve noticed that your furnace just isn’t working as well as it used to, don’t wait to call a professional furnace repair technician. Any delay could result in an even bigger problem or a breakdown on a cold day when you need your heater the most.

Common furnace problems include:

  • Dirty filters
  • Frequent cycling
  • Electric ignition or pilot light issues
  • Thermostat malfunctions
  • Lack of maintenance

If you are the owner of a gas furnace and have noticed the smell of natural gas in your home, immediately move outdoors and contact your gas provider for emergency service. Then, get in touch with Preferred Home Services to have your furnace and natural gas piping inspected and repaired.

When you need heater repair in Charleston, contact Preferred Home Services. We’re here when you need us most!

Frequently Asked Questions About Furnaces

When it comes to repairing furnaces and heating systems throughout Charleston, we feel like we’ve seen and heard it all. That’s why we’ve put together some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners just like you.


Why is my furnace short-cycling?

Short-cycling could indicate a small issue, such as the need to replace your filter. If this doesn’t solve the issue, you may have an overheating issue. Your local HVAC specialist will be able to determine the cause of your problem quickly.

Why is my furnace blowing cold air?

The most common reason furnaces blow cold air is a dirty filter. Try installing a clean filter, and if that doesn’t work, contact Preferred Home Services today!

Why is my furnace overheating?

Typically, furnaces overheat due to blockages in their ductwork. The most common blockage is caused by a dirty air filter. Changing your air filter regularly, along with routine, preventative maintenance, will ensure your furnace is operating effectively and efficiently heating your home.

Do I have to use a furnace filter?

While you can technically run your furnace without a filter, you run the risk of damaging your system and the health of your family. Filters are designed to catch and prevent pollutants from spreading throughout the air in your home, so forgoing a filter will greatly reduce the air quality of your home.

    The Technician showed up on time. Went directly to work servicing the system. He kept us well informed about his progress and notified us of any issues that he discovered, along with any options. He made the process as easy and pleasant as possible.

    ~ Bill T.

    After finding out my toilet was leaking and the panicky scramble of “what do I do’s”, I called Preferred Home Services. They were able to come out and fix the issue all within a few hours. The technician was friendly, explained what had happened, and was quick to fix the toilet! I will be calling Preferred Home Services from now on for my household plumbing needs!

    We had a fantastic experience with Preferred Home Services! Mike and Nick took care of some plumbing needs we had and were so knowledgeable and professional. The customer service throughout our whole experience has been second to none! I couldn’t be more pleased.

    ~ Jeanne R.

    Very happy with Preferred Home Services. They were very professional and courteous during the installations. They were very efficient and took time to explain everything to me before and after, and very prompt with follow-up questions.

    ~ Katie V.

    At 6 PM on a 95-degree day, I noticed that my system was not cooling and was in fact down. I called and was pleased to have someone pick up the phone and listen to the symptoms of the problem. They ultimately dispatched a repair person who was able to get the system up and running by 8:30 PM in advance of a long, hot holiday weekend, I was very pleased with the prompt response to my emergency.

    ~ Bruce H.

    They installed a new unit and replaced all the duct work under my house. They did a great job and were very professional and had the job done in just two days! I will highly recommend this company to anyone needing work.

    ~ Matt B.

    This business is incredible. Called for service due to our HVAC not working at all. It was late afternoon and a Technician was at our door within the hour...

    ~ Benson F.

    Love preferred home services. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and have great customer service. I've used them at both properties for HVAC issues. I love that the text a picture of who is coming, along with a bio. Definitely recommend!

    I can't say enough about this company! I've used them twice now, once for a plumbing issue and today for my AC. They were prompt, professional, knew what they were doing and made me feel comfortable and confident in their work.
