Furnace Services: Installation, Repair & Safety Tune-Ups
A furnace in North Central Florida sits idle eight or nine months, then is asked to perform on the first cold night in December. A+ Air Conditioning and Refrigeration handles all three furnace services, and treats every one of them as safety work first: combustion, venting, and the heat exchanger get checked before anything else.
Furnace Service
No heat, a strange smell at startup, or a system that has not been inspected since last winter? Let's take a look before the next cold front.

Our Furnace Services
Repair when something has failed, replacement when the safe answer is new equipment, and the annual tune-up that keeps you out of both.
Furnace Repair & Service
Failed ignitors and flame sensors, gas valve faults, blower motor problems, and no-heat calls. Every diagnosis includes a heat exchanger inspection, because a cracked one is a carbon monoxide risk, not just a comfort issue.

People moving to Florida often assume they will never need a furnace. Then December arrives, overnight lows drop into the upper 30s, and an occasional freeze reminds everyone that heat is not optional here either.
The low run time is exactly what makes furnace service important. A system that sits unused for most of the year develops problems nobody sees: dust settles on burners, ignitors and flame sensors corrode, insects nest in burner assemblies, and blower motors stiffen. None of that announces itself until the night you need heat, which is why we push fall maintenance so firmly.
Gas furnace work also carries risk that cooling work does not. Combustion venting, gas line connections, and heat exchanger condition are safety items. A+ Air Conditioning and Refrigeration has been doing this in Gainesville since 1998, licensed under FL #CAC1821265 and #CACA41190, and we treat every gas connection accordingly.

Furnace Symptoms Worth Acting On
Some heating faults are an inconvenience. A few are genuinely urgent. These are the signals we want Gainesville homeowners to recognize, and what each one usually means.
If Your CO Detector Sounds, Leave and Call
Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless. If your detector alarms, get everyone out of the house first and call from outside. We strongly recommend carbon monoxide detectors in every home with a gas furnace.
What Your Furnace Is Telling You
A healthy gas flame burns steady blue. Yellow or flickering flame, soot buildup around the unit, or an unusual smell when the furnace runs can indicate incomplete combustion or a cracked heat exchanger. Turn the furnace off and call for a diagnostic visit.
Short cycling on a furnace often traces back to a dirty flame sensor, a restricted filter tripping the high-limit safety switch, or a venting problem. The safety controls are doing their job; the underlying cause still needs to be found.
Banging can indicate delayed ignition or expanding ductwork. Squealing often points to a worn blower belt or motor bearing. Rattling may simply be a loose panel. Delayed ignition in particular should not be left alone.
A standing pilot indicates a very old, inefficient design. Modern American Standard furnaces reach AFUE ratings from 80% up past 97%, while a furnace 15 to 20 years old may be operating closer to 60% or 70%. At that point replacement is usually the better investment.
Uneven heating is often a ductwork or insulation problem rather than a furnace problem. We inspect duct connections during service, and can point you toward attic insulation or duct cleaning where those are the real limitation.
If a furnace is unsafe to operate, we tell you that directly and shut it down rather than leaving it running.
Furnace, Heat Pump, or Both
A furnace is not the only way to heat a home in Gainesville, and we would rather you choose deliberately than default to whatever was there before.
Replacing your furnace and air conditioner together is often worth considering: the equipment is matched, the labor overlaps, and warranty coverage on both starts at the same time.
Furnace Work for Every Home Type We Serve
Not every heating installation looks the same. These are the situations we work in most often across North Central Florida.
- check_circle Single-family homes with existing split-system ductwork, including tight attic installations
- check_circle Newer construction and custom builds, working directly with builders and contractors
- check_circle Older homes where the ductwork needs attention before new equipment can perform as rated
- check_circle Mobile and modular homes, which require furnaces specifically rated for manufactured home installation
Heating season also seals a home up tighter, which concentrates dust and allergens indoors. If that is a concern in your household, our indoor air quality services address it directly.
