Furnace Service in Rock Hill
Even if you replace your filters regularly, your furnace experiences wear and tear during operation. Sometimes, all you need for furnace service is to replace the flame sensor. Other times, the issue might be a cracked heat exchanger, not the flame sensor.
Repairing a furnace involves addressing many parts that may require attention during its lifespan, including these and others:
- Flame sensor
- Ductwork
- Heat exchanger
- Gas supply (in the case of gas furnaces)
- Heating element (in the case of electric furnaces)
- Pilot light
- Heat shield
If you have a cracked heat exchanger, as mentioned above, furnace service becomes even more essential. Carbon monoxide can escape from the exhaust and enter your home, posing a serious hazard to your health and increasing the risk of fire. If you feel dizzy or faint, leave your home immediately, call emergency services, and then call us.
Gas furnaces rely on pilot flames to activate the flame sensor, which tells the furnace when to ignite or stop. A sensor that fails to detect flames can shut down the system, leaving you cold. Conversely, a sensor that incorrectly believes the flames are always present can lead to excessive gas being released. Additionally, malfunctions may cause the flame to remain on, potentially cracking the heat exchanger and causing a fire.
Furnace repair service not only keeps you safe but also helps you save money. A malfunctioning component can create further issues. For instance, replacing a dirty air filter reduces the chances of damage to the fan or heat exchanger. Addressing these problems early prevents larger-scale repairs and reduces your overall costs.

Having technicians from Arce Heating & AC perform furnace service can prevent more drastic repairs and save you energy. The more a furnace struggles to heat your home, the more fuel or electricity it consumes, which increases your utility bills.
For example, if your pressure sensor develops a problem, it might mislead your system. Operating a furnace under incorrect pressure means you’ll receive less hot air where you need it, causing the furnace to work harder to compensate and ultimately driving up your bills.
