Mayer furnace repair starts with a $79 trip charge, waived when you approve the repair, with the price written before any work. Builder furnaces from the 2000s subdivisions are reaching their first igniter, inducer and condensate-trap repairs.
Mayer's subdivisions went up quickly after 2000, and the builder-installed furnaces in those two-stories and split-entries are now 15 to 25 years old. That's when the first real repairs arrive: a hot-surface igniter that cracks, a flame sensor coated enough that the burners light and drop out, an inducer motor that starts to rattle. On condensing furnaces, the condensate trap and drain matter too; when they plug, the pressure switch stops the furnace and water may show up on the basement floor.
In the older part of town, the houses are early-1900s and postwar, and their furnaces are more likely to be 80% units venting into a chimney, where draft problems join the list. On the farms around Mayer, propane is common, and a low tank or an iced regulator can look a lot like a furnace failure. We figure out which it is before you pay for a part.

Usually, yes. A furnace around 20 years old with a failed igniter, flame sensor, pressure switch or inducer is a normal repair, and the written price tends to make the choice easy. Replacement starts to make sense when the heat exchanger is cracked or repairs start stacking up.
On a high-efficiency furnace, it's usually condensate. These furnaces make water as they burn, and it drains through a trap and hose to a floor drain or a condensate pump. A cracked hose, a plugged trap or a dead pump sends it onto the floor, and a plugged trap can also shut the furnace off. Check the pump first; if it hums without draining, or the trap is full of sludge, call us.
