Furnace Maintenance
Furnace Maintenance is the scheduled inspection and cleaning that catches small problems before they become $700 repairs or a no-heat emergency. In Marietta, where furnaces run hard from November through March, we recommend one tune-up per year, ideally in September or October before the first cold snap. Halden Heating and Air Marietta performs a full maintenance visit for $80 to $200, which includes checking the heat exchanger, testing the ignitor, measuring gas pressure, cleaning the flame sensor, and replacing the filter if needed. You get a written report of what we found, and our technicians are not paid on what they sell.
What a Tune-Up Catches
The most common problem we find during fall maintenance in Marietta is a dirty flame sensor, which costs less than $30 to clean but causes intermittent shutdowns if ignored. We also catch cracked heat exchangers during maintenance calls, which is far better than finding one at 2 a.m. when the furnace is cycling but no heat is coming out.
Why Fall Is the Right Time
Georgia furnaces sit idle for seven months of the year, and dust settles in burners, on sensors, and inside the blower assembly. Running that first cycle in November without a cleaning often means a shutdown on the first cold night. October maintenance means we fix it on your schedule, not during the first frost.
Styles & brands we work with
Heat Pump Repair
Heat Pump Repair covers the outdoor condenser unit and indoor air handler that both heat and cool your home, and in Marietta these systems run year-round, which doubles the wear compared to a furnace-only setup. When a heat pump stops heating, the cause is usually a refrigerant leak, a failed reversing valve, a bad capacitor, or a defrost control board failure. Halden Heating and Air Marietta diagnoses heat pump issues the same day and most repairs fall in the $150 to $700 range, with the written price confirmed before we start. Since our techs are certified on Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem heat pumps, the fix is done right the first time.
Heat Pump vs. Furnace Failure
When a heat pump fails, it often still produces some airflow because the air handler runs independently of the outdoor compressor. Homeowners in our Furnace Repair in Powder Springs and Vinings frequently call us for “blowing cold air,” which usually means the outdoor unit is defrosting, the reversing valve has failed, or the compressor is shot. That distinction matters because the repair path and cost are different for each.
Defrost Cycle Problems
Georgia’s damp winter air causes ice buildup on heat pump coils, and the defrost cycle is designed to melt it. If the defrost sensor fails, the coil becomes a block of ice and the system burns electricity without producing heat. Our technicians test the defrost thermostat and board during every heat pump call so we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Heating Repair
Heating Repair is the broad category covering any system that warms your Marietta home: furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, and ductless mini-splits. The first step is always a full diagnostic, not a parts swap, because a failed capacitor and a failing blower motor produce nearly identical symptoms but very different bills. Halden Heating and Air Marietta charges $150 to $700 for most heating repairs, and you see the written price before we touch the unit. If the repair fails within the coverage window, we return at no charge, covered by the written guarantee on every job.
Diagnostics First, Always
We test the thermostat signal, the control board voltage, the ignitor, the gas valve, and the limit switches before recommending any repair. That process takes 45 to 60 minutes on most systems, and it prevents the frustrating cycle of replacing a part, leaving, and getting a callback the next day. Our goal is one visit, one fix.
Common Heating Repair Costs
A failed ignitor in Marietta usually runs $180 to $280, a capacitor between $150 and $250, a blower motor $400 to $700, and a control board $350 to $650. We keep common parts on the truck for gas furnaces and heat pumps so the fix happens in the same visit. You’ll hear the price, approve it on the spot via text or paper, and we go.
Boiler Repair
Boiler Repair addresses the hydronic heating systems found in many older Marietta homes, particularly in the historic districts around the Square and in East Cobb neighborhoods built before forced-air became standard. A boiler heats water and circulates it through radiators or baseboards, which means repairs involve circulator pumps, zone valves, thermostats, pressure relief valves, and expansion tanks. Halden Heating and Air Marietta repairs boilers in the $150 to $700 range, with the written price set before the work begins. Any boiler that is leaking, banging, or producing no heat should be shut off and inspected, because steam or hot water under pressure can be dangerous when a relief valve has failed.
Circulator Pump Failures
The most common boiler failure we see in Marietta is a dead circulator pump, which means the boiler fires and the water gets hot, but it never reaches the radiators. That job typically runs $350 to $600 including the part and labor. A pump that hums but does not spin is a bearing or capacitor issue, while a pump that is silent with no voltage is usually a control or thermostat problem.
Radiator and Zone Valve Issues
Individual radiators that stay cold while others are hot point to a stuck zone valve or air trapped in the line. Bleeding the air is a maintenance fix, but a zone valve that will not open usually needs replacement, a $250 to $450 job. We test the valve motor and the zone controller so we replace only what actually failed.
Gas Furnace Repair
Gas Furnace Repair handles the natural gas or propane furnaces that heat the majority of single-family homes in Marietta and Cobb County. When a gas furnace fails, the culprit is almost always one of five things: the ignitor, the flame sensor, the gas valve, the pressure switch, or the control board. Halden Heating and Air Marietta fixes all of these in a single visit, with most repair jobs landing between $150 and $700 and the price written down before we start. Because gas furnaces involve combustion and carbon monoxide, we test the heat exchanger and flue on every gas furnace repair call, and if we find a crack, we shut the gas off and show you the leak with our inspection camera before any recommendation is made.
Ignitor and Flame Sensor Repairs
The ignitor is the glow stick that lights the gas, and when it fails, the furnace runs the fan but never produces heat. A replacement ignitor in Marietta runs $180 to $280 in most cases. The flame sensor, which tells the board the burner actually lit, can be cleaned for under $100 but occasionally needs replacement if the porcelain housing is cracked.
Heat Exchanger Safety Checks
A cracked heat exchanger can leak carbon monoxide into your home, which is why every gas furnace repair includes a combustion analysis and visual inspection. If we find a crack, we red-tag the furnace, shut off the gas, and walk you through replacement options with a written price. This is not an upsell; it is a safety stop.
Furnace Tune Up
Furnace Tune Up is the annual cleaning and calibration that keeps your system running efficiently and catches failures while they are still cheap to fix. In Marietta, where humidity and pollen seasons stretch long, furnaces collect dust and lint that reduce airflow and strain the blower motor. Halden Heating and Air Marietta offers a tune-up for $80 to $200, which includes cleaning the burners and flame sensor, testing the ignitor, checking gas pressure, measuring the temperature rise across the heat exchanger, inspecting the flue, and lubricating the blower motor. You get a written report of what we tested and what we found, with photos of before and after.
What You Get in Writing
Every tune-up ends with a documented condition report: gas pressure readings, temperature rise, carbon monoxide levels in the flue, and amp draws on the blower motor. If a part is wearing out, we show you the reading and the cost to fix it now versus later. There is no pressure, just numbers.
Efficiency and Gas Bills
A dirty burner runs rich and wastes natural gas, which shows up on your Atlanta Gas Light bill as higher usage for the same amount of heat. A clean, calibrated furnace can run 3 to 5 percent more efficiently, which on a $200 winter gas bill is real money over a few years. The tune-up usually pays for itself in a season or two.
Emergency Furnace Repair
Emergency Furnace Repair in Marietta means a live person answers the phone at midnight, a technician is dispatched with a trackable arrival time, and the repair starts as soon as you approve the written price. A cold house in a Georgia cold snap is a health risk, especially for kids, seniors, and anyone with respiratory issues, so we run emergency calls 24/7 without an overtime surcharge. Halden Heating and Air Marietta completes most emergency furnace repairs the same night, with costs in the same $150 to $700 range as daytime service. If we cannot fix it that night because a part must be ordered, we bring space heaters and a plan.
What Counts as an Emergency
No heat at all on a night below 40 degrees is an emergency. A furnace that is cycling but blowing cold air is an emergency. A burning smell, gas odor, or carbon monoxide detector sounding is an emergency that also requires you to leave the house and call the fire department first. For smoke or gas, evacuate, then call us from outside.
Parts We Carry on the Truck
We stock common emergency parts for gas furnaces in our Marietta trucks: ignitors, flame sensors, pressure switches, capacitors, and blower control boards. That is why most emergency calls are fixed in one visit instead of a temporary patch and a “we’ll be back” promise. The parts are OEM or equivalent, never whatever is cheapest at the supply house.
Brands We Service
Halden Heating and Air Marietta technicians carry certifications covering Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem, which together account for the majority of furnaces in Cobb County homes. Trane units are known for their heat exchanger design, and we have seen enough of them to diagnose a failed inducer motor by ear before we open the cabinet. Lennox systems use proprietary control boards, so we keep their diagnostic literature and OEM part numbers on every truck.
Goodman furnaces are common in Marietta because they are affordable and widely installed by builders in the 2000s and 2010s, and we stock the common parts for them. Rheem systems use a distinctive ignitor and flame sensor configuration, and our techs know exactly which failure mode matches which production year. Whether your furnace is one of these brands or any other make, we diagnose and repair it the same way: written price first, guarantee included.

- No heat on a cold Marietta night. When the temperature inside drops below 60 and the furnace is running but not producing warm air, the problem could be an ignitor, gas valve, or control board. Waiting risks frozen pipes and a much larger repair bill.
- Short cycling. If the furnace turns on for three minutes, shuts off, and repeats, the system is tripping a safety limit. That limit switch is protecting your heat exchanger from overheating, and repeated tripping will eventually crack it.
- Yellow or flickering burner flame. A healthy gas furnace burns blue. A yellow flame means incomplete combustion, which is a carbon monoxide risk. Shut the furnace off and call us, and if your CO detector is active, leave the house first.
- Rattling, banging, or whistling from the cabinet. A bang on startup can be delayed ignition in the burner chamber, which stresses the heat exchanger every time it happens. A whistle is usually an airflow restriction, which strains the blower motor and shortens its life.
- Rising gas bills without more heat. If your December Atlanta Gas Light bill jumped 30 percent with no change in thermostat habits, the furnace is working harder than it should. That is usually a dirty burner, a failing blower, or a duct leak in the crawl space.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call or book online, any hour. A live person answers 24/7, listens to the symptoms, and schedules a technician with a live arrival time you can track on your phone. No four-hour windows, no phone tag.
- 2
The tech arrives and diagnoses. Our background-checked, uniformed technician runs a full diagnostic: voltage tests, gas pressure readings, temperature rise measurement, and a visual inspection of the heat exchanger and flue. You hear the findings in plain English with the trade term explained, like “your inducer motor, the fan that pushes exhaust out the flue, has failed bearings.”
- 3
You get a written price, before any work. The quote is line-itemed, fixed, and sent to your phone or on paper. Approve it and we start. Decline it and we leave, with no charge beyond the diagnostic fee we quoted when you called.
- 4
We repair, test, and photograph. The part gets replaced, the system is cycled five times, and we measure the temperature rise and carbon monoxide output to confirm it is safe and working. You get before and after photos of the repair so you can see exactly what changed.
- 5
Guarantee in writing, no fine print. Every repair includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the same repair fails within a year, the second visit is free, period. That guarantee is written, included with the job, and honored without an argument.
How Much Does Furnace Repair Cost in Marietta?
A typical furnace repair in Marietta runs $150 to $700, with the most common jobs landing in the $200 to $400 range. A failed ignitor costs around $180 to $280, a flame sensor cleaning or replacement $100 to $220, a gas valve $300 to $550, a blower motor $400 to $700, and a control board $350 to $650. The exact price depends on the furnace brand, the age of the unit, the part that failed, and whether the part is stocked locally in Cobb County or must be ordered.
What affects the price most is the part itself, not the labor. A Goodman ignitor costs less than a Trane ignitor because of supply chain volume, and a variable-speed blower motor costs more than a single-speed because the motor and control module are sold together in most cases. Age matters too: furnaces over 15 years old sometimes need a universal replacement part that has to be retrofit, which adds labor time.
To avoid overpaying, get the written price before any work begins and ask what is covered by the guarantee. Our free estimates include the diagnostic, the written quote, and the guarantee at no extra charge, so you know the total cost before you approve the repair. Call (229) 514-0545 and we will send you a tech with a live arrival time and a price locked in writing.
