After months off, dust coats the flame sensor and the ignitor ages unseen.
Redding is known for its heat, but its winters bring frost and cold nights, so the furnace matters here too. Golden Comfort AC & Heating Repair repairs furnaces and heat pumps in Redding, Anderson and Shasta Lake, with emergency service 24/7.
Most Redding furnace repairs run about $240 to $520, and major repairs run $920 to $1,900. The diagnostic call is typically $79 to $119. See the furnace repair pricing guide.



Turn the furnace off and get help right away if you smell gas, a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, or you smell burning that does not fade. Leave the house and call 911 or PG&E from outside.

If your furnace is 15 or more years old, or repairs are piling up, price a replacement.
