In Maple Lake and on the acreage around it, a furnace repair call carries a $79 trip charge, waived when you approve the repair. In town it's often a gas furnace in an early-1900s house; out of town, a propane unit or one backing up a wood stove.
Around Maple Lake, furnace calls split two ways. In town, it's a gas furnace in the basement of an early-1900s house or a 1970s rambler, with the failures of age: igniters, flame sensors, inducers, a limit switch tripping on a clogged filter. Out on the acreage, it's more often a propane furnace, and propane brings its own problems. A tank running low can let the burners light and then lose flame. A furnace never properly converted from natural gas runs sooty and rough.
Farmhouses that heat with a wood stove have a different pattern. The furnace sits idle for weeks while the stove carries the house, then gets called on the night the fire burns down, and that's when a dusty flame sensor or a seized blower shows up. Older farmhouse basements can run damp, which rusts burners and flue pipe over the years. We look at both while we're there.

Not right away. After a propane tank runs dry, the lines need a leak test before anything is relit, because a valve left open during the outage can release gas once the tank is refilled. Your propane supplier usually does that test at the refill. Once the system checks out, we can come look at the furnace if it still won't light, since air in the line or a locked-out control can keep it down.
Yes, and maybe more than a furnace that runs daily. Idle furnaces collect dust on the flame sensor and burners, mice move into the cabinet, and on a high-efficiency model the condensate trap can dry out and let flue gas escape through it. A fall check before the first cold night catches most of that. Our furnace tune-up is $129, and it includes cleaning the flame sensor and flushing the condensate trap.
