Get your free estimateFast, Reliable Furnace Repair Across Marietta
Furnace repair in Marietta typically runs between $150 and $700, and most calls are handled same-day when you book before noon. We work across the whole city, from the Craftsman bungalows near the Square to the brick ranches off Powder Springs Road. Halden Heating and Air has been fixing furnaces since 2004, and every job starts with a written price before any work begins. If your heat is out tonight, call (229) 514-0545. A real person answers, 24/7.
Marietta hits freezing temps a handful of nights each winter, and when a furnace quits on one of those nights, waiting until Monday isn’t an option. We dispatch crews from the Atlanta metro office directly into Marietta neighborhoods, so you’re not stuck waiting on a tech coming from two counties away. You’ll get a live arrival time you can track to your door, not a four-hour window.
Why Halden Heating and Air Marietta Is Marietta’s Preferred Furnace Repair Company
Homeowners in Marietta keep calling us back because we do something most HVAC companies won’t: we put the price in writing before the first tool comes off the truck. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies to every job, no exceptions. Andre Fuller leads our team, and he’s built the operation around one promise that actually means something. If the repair fails, we come back free. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s included automatically, not sold as an add-on.
Our techs know Marietta’s housing stock. They know a 1960s split-level in east Cobb behaves differently than a 1920s bungalow off Church Street. They know where the furnaces hide, where the ductwork fails, and what the red clay does to a slab foundation over time. That local knowledge means faster diagnoses and fewer parts thrown at a problem hoping something sticks. Every repair is backed by a written guarantee. If it doesn’t hold, the second visit is free.
Styles & brands we work with
Gas Furnace Repair in Marietta
Gas furnace repair in Marietta is the call we make most often between November and February, when the first hard cold snap exposes every weak ignitor, sticky gas valve, and tired blower motor in the county. A typical gas furnace repair here runs $150 to $700 depending on the part and how long the diagnosis takes. The job usually involves testing the ignitor (the small element that lights the gas), checking the gas valve (the component that controls fuel flow), and verifying the flame sensor is clean enough to read the flame. If your furnace is short-cycling, making a boom sound on startup, or blowing cold air, these are the first components we check.
Ignitor and Flame Sensor Diagnosis
Most no-heat calls in Marietta trace back to a cracked ignitor or a carbon-coated flame sensor. The flame sensor is a thin metal rod that confirms the burners actually lit; when it gets coated with residue, the furnace shuts off as a safety precaution. The fix is usually quick and inexpensive, well under the $150 end of the repair range.
Gas Valve and Burner Service
When a gas valve sticks or a burner is rusted from crawlspace humidity, the furnace won’t fire reliably. Homes with open crawlspaces near Sope Creek or the Chattahoochee floodplain see this more often. We test gas pressure, inspect the burner assembly for corrosion, and replace only what’s actually failed. A gas valve replacement in Marietta has real cost, closer to the middle of the $150 to $700 range, but it’s a straightforward same-day job for our techs.
Furnace Tune Up in Marietta
A furnace tune up in Marietta runs between $80 and $200, and it’s the best money you’ll spend before winter hits. The tune-up is a full inspection and cleaning: we check the heat exchanger (the metal chamber that separates combustion gases from the air you breathe), test the blower motor, clean the flame sensor, and measure gas pressure. For homes in east Cobb with attic-installed furnaces, this is where we catch capacitors cooked by summer attic heat before they fail on the coldest night of the year.
Heat Exchanger Inspection
Cracked heat exchangers are more common in Marietta crawlspace homes than people expect. Humid air pulled through a leaky return duct rusts the metal from the outside, and a rusted heat exchanger can crack under thermal stress. We inspect for cracks, rust, and soot, and if we find a crack, we’ll show you photos and give you a written quote before any replacement work starts.
Airflow and Static Pressure Check
Low airflow is the silent killer of furnaces in Marietta. Restricted ducts from collapsed returns or clogged filters force the blower to work harder, overheating the furnace and tripping the high-limit switch. During a tune-up, we measure static pressure and check every accessible duct connection, especially in crawlspaces where red clay shifting has worked joints loose.
Trusted Brands We Service in Marietta
We service Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem furnaces, plus the rest of the major brands you’ll find in Cobb County homes. Our vans carry common parts for these units, which means fewer second trips and faster fixes when it’s 28 degrees outside. Whether your furnace is a 2004 builder-grade Goodman in a Powder Springs Road subdivision or a newer Trane in a west Cobb two-story, we’ve got the diagnostic tools and the parts to handle it same-day. If a part isn’t on the truck, we’ll give you a straight answer on when it arrives and what the repair costs before we leave your driveway.

AfterCommon Furnace Repair Problems We See in Marietta Homes
- Duct leaks from red clay foundation movement. Marietta’s clay-heavy soil expands and contracts with seasonal moisture, and that movement cracks rigid ductboard under slab-on-grade ranches. Air leaks out before it reaches the back bedrooms, and your furnace runs longer to compensate.
- Attic furnace failures in east Cobb tract homes. Attic-installed furnaces roast in July and August heat, which ages capacitors and control boards prematurely. When the first cold snap hits in November, intermittent ignition failures spike across neighborhoods like Indian Hills and Piedmont Bend.
- Rusted heat exchangers from crawlspace humidity. Older bungalows near the Square often have vented crawlspaces that pull damp air into the return ducts. That moisture rusts heat exchangers and trips high-limit switches, especially in homes where the return duct has never been sealed.
- Blower motors that run constantly. A blower motor that won’t shut off is often a sign of a failing limit switch or a thermostat wiring issue, but in Marietta slab homes, it can also mean the return duct collapsed in a clay-shifted crawlspace and the system is starving for air.
Pricing for Furnace Repair in Marietta, GA
Furnace repair in Marietta runs $150 to $700 for most jobs, and a furnace tune up runs $80 to $200. Where your repair lands in that range depends on the part: ignitors and flame sensors sit at the low end, gas valves and control boards in the middle, and heat exchanger replacements at the top. The heat exchanger is the only repair that sometimes makes replacement worth considering, especially on a furnace over 15 years old. Here’s the breakdown:
| Service | Price Range in Marietta |
|---|---|
| Furnace Repair | $150 – $700 |
| Furnace Tune Up | $80 – $200 |

FAQs About Furnace Repair in Marietta
That’s almost always a duct leak in the crawlspace under a slab-on-grade home, caused by red clay shifting the foundation and cracking rigid ductboard. Your furnace is working, but enough warm air is escaping into the crawlspace that distant rooms never get the airflow they need. We find and seal these leaks routinely in Marietta ranches, and the fix usually costs under $300. Call (229) 514-0545 and we’ll trace the leak same-day.
Most furnace repairs in Cobb County, including Marietta, do not require a permit because they’re considered maintenance rather than new mechanical work. Replacing a furnace or moving gas lines does require a permit, and we handle that paperwork for you when the job calls for it. Repairs like ignitor replacement, gas valve service, and blower motor swaps are typically same-day, no permit needed. If you’re not sure, call (229) 514-0545 and we’ll tell you straight.
A cracked heat exchanger often shows up as a furnace that runs but smells faintly of exhaust, produces soot around the burners, or trips the rollout switch repeatedly. In Marietta, crawlspaces pull humid air into return ducts, and that moisture rusts the heat exchanger metal from the outside, making cracks more likely than in a dry attic install. We inspect with a camera and show you photos if we find a crack. Depending on age and warranty, a heat exchanger replacement runs at the top of the $150 to $700 repair range, or we’ll quote a new system if that makes more sense. Call (229) 514-0545 for an inspection.
Yes. Attic furnaces in east Cobb split-levels and tract homes are some of the most common calls we run in Marietta. Attic heat cooks capacitors and ignition components over the summer, so the first cold snap triggers a wave of failures in neighborhoods from Sandy Plains to Paper Mill Road. Our techs are experienced with tight attic access, and we’ll give you a written price before we start. Call (229) 514-0545 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
A blower that runs nonstop is usually a failed limit switch, a stuck fan relay, or a thermostat wiring issue, but in Marietta slab homes it can also be a collapsed return duct in a clay-shifted crawlspace making the system think it needs to keep moving air. We’ll narrow it down with a static pressure test and a look at your ductwork, and the fix often runs between $150 and $400. Call (229) 514-0545 and we’ll diagnose it today.
