Furnace repair in Selmer, TN
Furnace repair covers residential furnaces that will not start, cycle off early or blow cold air. January lows in Selmer average 29.5°F, so a heating failure needs attention. Before you request service, a few simple checks can rule out the easy causes.
A furnace blowing cold air is often a setting rather than a breakdown: if the thermostat fan is set to ON instead of AUTO, the blower keeps running between heating cycles. A dirty filter can make the furnace overheat and trip its high-limit switch, and a dirty flame sensor or ignition problem can stop the burners from staying lit.
ENERGY STAR warns that a cracked heat exchanger or dirty burner can make a furnace operate unsafely, which is why annual heating check-ups in the fall are recommended (ENERGY STAR maintenance checklist). If you smell gas, leave the home and contact your gas utility.
Typical furnace repair parts named by HomeAdvisor include the flame sensor and the ignitor; national price ranges for both are shown in the cost table below (HomeAdvisor).
Furnace not working
A furnace that does not start at all may have a thermostat, power, ignition or safety-switch problem. Check that the thermostat is set to heat, the furnace switch is on and the filter is clean before you request service.
A dirty filter can make the furnace overheat and trip the high-limit switch, shutting the burners off. If the problem continues after the filter is replaced, have the system inspected.
Furnace blowing cold air
Cold air from the vents is often caused by the thermostat fan set to ON instead of AUTO, a dirty filter tripping the high-limit switch, or a dirty flame sensor or ignition problem that keeps the burners from staying lit.
Never ignore a gas smell or signs of a cracked heat exchanger, which ENERGY STAR lists as a safety risk (ENERGY STAR maintenance checklist).

Homeowner tips before you hire
Before you sign anything, check the provider’s license and insurance, ask for a written quote and know where to turn if something goes wrong. Tennessee sets a state license threshold for HVAC work, and the Attorney General handles consumer complaints.
Licensing. In Tennessee a state contractor license is required to bid or contract HVAC projects of $25,000 or more, including materials, equipment and labor; the HVAC classification is CMC-C (TN Board for Licensing Contractors; TN classification outline). Below $25,000, HVAC work is regulated locally: some jurisdictions issue their own mechanical license, and where the State Fire Marshal inspects, an LLE or CMC-C license is needed for permits (TN Commerce: HVAC projects under $25,000).
Complaints. Contact the business first. If that does not resolve it, the TN Attorney General, Division of Consumer Affairs can be reached at 615-741-4737, or 800-342-8385 from inside Tennessee.
Maintenance. ENERGY STAR recommends checking filters monthly and a pre-season check-up each year: cooling in spring, heating in fall (ENERGY STAR maintenance checklist).
