Commercial Furnace Repair & Maintenance in Athens, GA

How We Approach Commercial Furnace Repairs

When we arrive at your facility, our priority is to minimize disruption to your daily operations while accurately identifying the source of the problem. Our technicians use a systematic diagnostic process to isolate issues quickly, checking everything from airflow and electrical connections to the heat exchanger integrity. We believe in transparent communication, meaning we can walk you through our findings and provide you with clear, practical options for moving forward. You can always expect transparency and honest advice: We won’t recommend a replacement if a repair or tune-up will suffice.

Commercial furnaces are complex and are often integrated with other building management controls. That’s why we look beyond the immediate symptom to assess the overall health of your HVAC infrastructure. By addressing the root cause of an issue rather than just the obvious malfunction, we aim to extend the lifespan of your equipment and get the job done right the first time.

Don’t wait to schedule a furnace inspection if you notice any of the following signs of trouble:

• Uneven heating or cold spots. If employees in one part of the building are complaining about the cold while others are comfortable, your furnace probably isn’t distributing heat effectively. Ductwork issues or a failing blower motor may be to blame.
• Unusual or loud noises. While commercial units make some operational sounds, loud banging, screeching, or rattling often indicates loose components or a failing motor that requires immediate inspection.
• Unexpected spikes in energy costs. If your heating bills have increased significantly without a corresponding change in weather or usage, your furnace may be losing efficiency and working harder than necessary to maintain the set temperature.
• Short cycling. If your unit turns on and off frequently without completing a full heating cycle, it is likely short cycling. This puts heavy strain on the system’s components and often points to a problem with your thermostat or a clogged filter. 
• Strange odors. A persistent smell of gas or burning dust around your unit is a serious safety concern. We urge you to shut your system down and request emergency service if you detect these scents. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate and call 9-1-1.
• Yellow or flickering pilot light. For gas furnaces, the pilot light should burn blue. A yellow or flickering flame can indicate a ventilation problem or dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. In these situations, you should shut off your furnace, evacuate the facility, and call 9-1-1. We can address and resolve the underlying issue once it’s safe to go back inside.
