Crispino's Refrigeration & Air Conditioning - Scranton's Local HVAC Services

First, check your thermostat settings and ensure the furnace power switch is on. If those are fine, a common culprit is a dirty flame sensor or a faulty igniter—issues our Scranton winters can accelerate. For safety, we recommend turning off the furnace and calling a professional like Crispino's. Attempting repairs on ignition components can be dangerous and may void warranties. We'll diagnose the problem quickly to restore your heat and check for related safety issues.

Given our cold climate and heavy furnace use, we strongly advise an annual professional inspection before each heating season. This check includes testing for heat exchanger cracks, verifying proper venting, and measuring CO levels. Regular maintenance is the best defense against this silent danger. A Crispino's technician can perform a comprehensive safety check to ensure your Scranton home stays warm and safe all winter long.

Watch for unusual smells (especially a 'metallic' or burning odor), inconsistent heating, strange noises like banging or rattling, and a yellow burner flame instead of blue. In older homes, these can indicate deteriorating components, blockages, or combustion problems that pose efficiency and safety risks. Don't ignore these warnings. Our team is familiar with the common HVAC systems in historic Scranton neighborhoods and can provide reliable, urgent repair to prevent breakdowns and hazards.
