Signs Your Heating System Needs Repair
- No heat or not enough heat: the system runs, but the house stays cold.
- Some rooms warm, others cold: often an airflow, zoning, or circulation problem.
- The system turns on and off constantly (short-cycling).
- Strange noises: banging, squealing, rattling, or booming at start-up.
- Rising energy bills without a change in how you use the heat.
- The thermostat doesn’t respond, or the reading doesn’t match the room temperature.
- A burning or gas smell. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility’s emergency line first, then call us.

Repair or Replace?
If your heating system is older than 15–20 years, keeps breaking down, or the repair costs close to half the price of a new system, replacement may save you money. Our technicians will give you an honest recommendation. Learn about furnace replacement and installation.
Prevent Breakdowns with a Tune-Up
Most heating repairs we see could have been prevented with yearly maintenance. A fall tune-up catches small problems before the cold arrives. See our furnace tune-ups and maintenance, or save with a Club Membership plan.
Heating Repair FAQs
Why is my heating running but my house is still cold?
Common causes are a clogged filter, blocked vents, a failing blower or a thermostat problem. If changing the filter doesn’t help, call a technician.
Is no heat an emergency?
In a Winnipeg winter, yes. Pipes can freeze and the home can become unsafe. We offer 24/7 emergency heating repair.
Do you repair all brands?
Our technicians work on all major furnace, boiler and heat pump brands.
How long does a heating repair take?
Most repairs are done in one visit. If a part has to be ordered, we’ll tell you the timeline up front.
