Allen FAQ

Should I wait until my furnace completely fails before calling for repair?+

No. Catching these signs early is usually a smaller, more straightforward repair than waiting for a full breakdown, especially since a complete failure tends to happen at the least convenient time, during the coldest stretch of the season.

Is a yellow pilot light always a carbon monoxide risk?+

Not necessarily automatically dangerous in every case, but it does indicate incomplete combustion, which is worth having checked promptly given the carbon monoxide considerations involved with any gas furnace issue.

Does this apply to homes in Allen specifically?+

Yes. The guidance in this article applies to residential HVAC systems throughout Allen and the rest of our service area. If you want a read on your specific system, call us at (817) 935-8540 or request an estimate and mention you're in Allen.
