Alpharetta Furnace Repair typically costs between $150 and $700, with most common fixes landing in the $200 to $400 range. We know that when the heat goes out on a January night in Alpharetta, you’re not just cold, you’re worried about frozen pipes, a sleeping baby, and whether the fix will hold. Meadowsweet Heating and Air Alpharetta has served families across this community since 2004 through the Cedarwell family of HVAC companies, and our crews arrive fast, usually the same day you call, with the parts and the training to get your heat back on safely. Luis Serrano, who leads our team, built this business around one idea: a home should feel settled when the work is done, not unsettled by the work itself.
Call (478) 606-5046 any time, day or night. A live person picks up, not a voicemail queue. We answer questions about your furnace, give you a written price before anything gets touched, and schedule a visit that works around your family’s routine, not the other way around.
Furnace Maintenance
Furnace Maintenance is the scheduled care your heating system needs to run safely and efficiently through an Alpharetta winter, and it typically runs $80 to $200 when booked as a standalone visit. Most homeowners schedule maintenance in October or early November, before the first real cold snap hits, because that timing catches small issues, like a dirty flame sensor or a weak igniter, before they become no-heat calls. Our maintenance visit includes a full safety inspection, a combustion check, filter replacement if needed, and a written report of what we found, including photos of anything that will need attention down the road. You’ll know exactly what was checked and why, in plain English.
What a Maintenance Visit Covers
We inspect the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion, test the gas pressure, check the venting, and measure the temperature rise across the system to confirm it’s heating within the manufacturer’s spec. We also check the blower motor, belts if present, electrical connections, and the thermostat calibration. If something is wearing out, we show you the part and explain the cost to fix it now versus later, with no pressure either way.
Why Once a Year Isn’t Overkill
Gas furnaces burn fuel, and that combustion process leaves residue, stresses metal, and wears electrical components. A system that runs all winter without a checkup is more likely to fail on the coldest night, and that’s when repair calls in Alpharetta stack up. Regular maintenance from Meadowsweet Heating and Air Alpharetta means the furnace gets checked on a fair-weather day when parts are easy to get and the schedule is open, not during a cold snap when every unit in the city is breaking at once.
Styles & brands we work with
Heat Pump Repair
Heat Pump Repair addresses the unique challenge of a system that both heats and cools, and in Alpharetta, where winter temperatures hover just above freezing, a heat pump underperforming can leave a house at 58 degrees and climbing the electric bill at the same time. We also provide Duluth Furnace Repair for homes with traditional heating systems. Most heat pump repairs fall in the $150 to $650 range, depending on whether the problem is electrical, refrigerant-related, or a failed reversing valve. Because heat pumps run year-round, they wear faster than furnaces that only work a few months, so catching a small issue early, like a frosted outdoor coil or a short cycling compressor, matters more. Meadowsweet Heating and Air Alpharetta works on heat pump systems every week, including the common makes and models found throughout the area.
Signs a Heat Pump Needs Attention
If the system runs constantly but the house isn’t reaching the set temperature, the defrost cycle never seems to end, or the outdoor unit is making a sound you haven’t heard before, something is off. Heat pumps also tend to collect ice in unexpected places during Alpharetta’s damp winter days, and that ice can damage the fan blades or coil if left alone. We diagnose the exact cause and explain what it will take to fix it, with a written price before any repair begins.
How We Keep Heat Pumps Running
Our technicians check refrigerant charge with gauges, test capacitors and contactors, inspect the reversing valve operation, and clean the coils when needed, all while wearing shoe covers and laying down drop cloths if the indoor unit needs attention. We service most brands, including Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem, and we carry common failure parts on the truck so one visit is usually enough. When the repair is done, you get a photo of the cleaned-up work area before we leave.
Heating Repair
Heating Repair covers any system that heats your Alpharetta home, whether it’s a gas furnace, a heat pump, a packaged unit, or a ductless mini-split running in heat mode. We also offer Furnace Repair in Holly Springs for homeowners in that growing community. Most repairs run $150 to $700, with the final number tied to what failed and how much labor is involved. When a house in Alpharetta drops below 60 degrees, it’s more than uncomfortable, it’s a health risk for babies, seniors, and anyone with a respiratory condition, so we treat heating calls with real urgency, not sales scripts. Our crew arrives with diagnostic tools, a stocked truck, and the experience to find the problem without guesswork. Luis Serrano has built our reputation on that: show up, listen, diagnose, fix, clean up, and leave a home that feels warm again.
Common Heating Repairs We See
In Alpharetta, most heating failures come down to a handful of culprits: failed igniters, dirty flame sensors, worn blower motors, tripped limit switches, and cracked heat exchangers. We use combustion analyzers and electrical meters to pinpoint the exact part that failed, and we show you the part we’re replacing, not just tell you it was broken. No vague explanations, no scary upsells.
When Repair Beats Replacement
If the system is under 12 years old and the repair is under $500, fixing it usually makes sense. We’ll tell you when the math changes, like if the furnace is 18 years old, the heat exchanger is cracked, and you’re looking at a repair that equals half the cost of new equipment. That conversation always includes real numbers for both options, and you get to decide. No pressure, just honest math from a team that’s been doing this since 2004.
Boiler Repair
Boiler Repair is specialized work on hydronic heating systems, the kind that heat water and send it through radiators or baseboard units. In Alpharetta, boilers are less common than furnaces, but plenty of older homes and custom builds still use them, and they have their own failure modes: circulator pumps that seize, expansion tanks that waterlog, zone valves that won’t open, and leaks at fittings. Most boiler repairs run $150 to $700, though a full circulator replacement can push toward the top of that range. Meadowsweet Heating and Air Alpharetta has the training and tools to work on these systems safely, including checking pressure, purging air from the lines, and testing the low-water cutoff that protects the boiler.
What to Watch For
If you hear banging or gurgling in the pipes, see water on the floor near the boiler, or notice some rooms are hot while others stay cold, those are signs the system needs attention. A boiler that loses pressure repeatedly usually has a slow leak or a failed expansion tank. These issues don’t fix themselves, and ignoring them can lead to water damage inside walls and floors, which gets expensive fast.
How We Protect Your Home
Every boiler repair starts with a written price and a clear explanation of what’s wrong. Our technicians bring drop cloths to protect floors around the boiler area, especially in finished basements where the boiler often lives near playrooms or storage. We test the system thoroughly after the repair, check the radiators and zones, and confirm the house is heating evenly before we leave. You get a photo of the area, cleaned up and put back the way we found it.
Gas Furnace Repair
Gas Furnace Repair is what most Alpharetta homeowners need when the heat stops working, because the large majority of homes here are heated by natural gas. Typical gas furnace repairs run $150 to $700, with igniter replacements, flame sensor cleanings, and limit switch resets on the lower end, and blower motors, gas valves, or control boards on the higher end. This is also where safety comes first: a gas furnace involves combustion, carbon monoxide, and venting, and any repair needs a trained professional who knows how to test the system properly. Our technicians carry combustion analyzers and check carbon monoxide levels during every gas furnace visit, not just when something seems wrong.
The Dangers Worth Respecting
A cracked heat exchanger can leak carbon monoxide into your home, and you won’t smell it or see it. That’s why we inspect the heat exchanger carefully on every gas furnace repair and recommend against running a furnace that shows signs of cracking. If your carbon monoxide detector goes off, leave the house and call us, along with the gas company, and don’t go back inside until it’s been checked. This isn’t scare talk, it’s what every responsible HVAC company should tell you.
Gas Furnace Insights from the Field
In Alpharetta, we regularly see gas furnaces fail from dirty flame sensors after a summer of disuse, especially in neighborhoods like Windward and Crabapple where homes sit closed up during vacation months. A simple cleaning gets most of these systems running again in under an hour. We also see control boards fail after power surges during summer storms, and those are quick swaps if we have the right board on the truck. Either way, you get the diagnosis and the price before we start.
Furnace Tune Up
Furnace Tune Up is the comprehensive checkup that readies your heating system for the Alpharetta winter, and it runs $80 to $200. Think of it as preventive work: we clean the burners, check the flame sensor, test the igniter, measure the gas pressure, inspect the heat exchanger, verify the venting, and confirm the thermostat is accurate. A tuned furnace runs more efficiently, which shows up as a slightly lower gas bill, but more importantly, it’s far less likely to quit on the coldest night of the year, when every repair company in Alpharetta is booked solid. Meadowsweet Heating and Air Alpharetta performs tune-ups on most brands, including York, Rheem, and Lennox.
What You Get in Writing
After the tune-up, you receive a written report of what we found, what we cleaned, what we adjusted, and what we’d watch for next season. If something needs attention, we list the part, the price, and whether it’s urgent or can wait. No technician is paid on what they sell, so the recommendations you get are the ones we’d give our own neighbors.
Why Fall Scheduling Works Best
Alpharetta’s weather is unpredictable in the shoulder seasons, the first cold snap sometimes arrives in October, and the last thing you want is to discover a dead igniter when the temperature drops to 28. Booking a tune-up in September or October gives you time to address any findings before you actually need the heat. It also locks in the lower tune-up price, because last-minute diagnostic visits in the middle of winter are priced as repairs, not maintenance.
Emergency Furnace Repair
Emergency Furnace Repair in Alpharetta is what you need when the heat goes out at 11 p.m., the house is dropping a degree an hour, and you have a toddler who won’t sleep in a cold room. We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays, and a live person picks up every time. Emergency furnace repair costs the same as regular repair, $150 to $700, and we don’t charge overtime rates for nights or weekends, because a furnace that fails at midnight isn’t your fault. When you call (478) 606-5046, we ask a few questions, tell you what to check safely, and dispatch a technician to your Alpharetta home as fast as possible.
What Counts as an Emergency
No heat when the outside temperature is below 45 degrees is an emergency, especially with children, elderly family members, or anyone with health conditions in the house. A carbon monoxide alarm sounding is also an emergency, and in that case you should leave the house and call us from outside or from a neighbor’s home. Strange smells like gas or burning are emergencies too. When in doubt, call, we’d rather talk you through it than have you risk a dangerous situation.
What to Do Before We Arrive
Check the thermostat batteries, make sure the gas valve to the furnace is on, and look at the circuit breaker to see if it tripped. Don’t open the furnace cabinet or try to relight a pilot unless you’re completely comfortable doing so. Most modern furnaces have electronic igniters, not standing pilots, and poking around inside can cause more harm than good. We’ll handle the rest when we arrive, with a written price before any work begins, even at 2 a.m.
Brands We Service
Meadowsweet Heating and Air Alpharetta works on nine major equipment brands, but we’ve built especially deep experience with Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and York systems, which are common throughout Alpharetta and the surrounding north Atlanta suburbs. We stock OEM and compatible parts for these brands on our trucks, which means a single visit is often enough to complete the repair, no waiting days for a part to ship. Our technicians receive ongoing training on these systems, including the newer modulating and two-stage furnaces that require more precise setup than older single-stage units.
Whether you have a Lennox in a newer Windward home, a Goodman in a Milton ranch, a Rheem in a Suwanee townhome, or any other make, we can help with Roswell Furnace Repair and surrounding areas too. The diagnostic process is the same regardless of brand: test, measure, confirm, then fix. And every repair, on every brand, is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If we fix it and it doesn’t hold, we come back and make it right. No fine print, no runaround.

- Cold air blowing from the vents – If the furnace runs but the air feels cool, the burners may not be lighting, or the system may be short cycling. This usually means a failing igniter, flame sensor, or limit switch, and it’s a quick fix if caught early, but it won’t fix itself.
- Frequent on-and-off cycling – A furnace that starts, runs a minute or two, then shuts down is often overheating due to a dirty filter or a failing blower motor. Left alone, this can damage the heat exchanger, which turns a $150 repair into a much more expensive problem.
- Unusual noises, banging, humming, or rattling – A loud bang when the furnace starts can mean a delayed ignition in the burners. A constant hum might be a blower motor failing. These sounds are the system telling you something, and early intervention usually keeps the repair in the $150 to $400 range.
- Yellow or flickering flame instead of steady blue – If your furnace has a visible flame and it looks yellow, orange, or flickers erratically, the burners may need cleaning or the gas mixture is off. This is also a carbon monoxide warning sign, so it’s worth a call to us, and worth keeping that CO detector fresh.
- Uneven heating between rooms – One warm room and one cold room can point to duct issues, zone damper failures, or a system that’s undersized for the house. We diagnose the root cause rather than guessing, because guessing usually means paying twice.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person – When you call (478) 606-5046, you get a live voice, day or night. We ask about the symptoms, your address, and when you need us there. We’ll give you a straight answer about what to expect, including the service fee and what’s included, before we hang up.
- 2
Diagnostic visit – The technician arrives in a marked van, wearing shoe covers at the door, and goes through the C.A.R.E. values: Clean up like it’s their own home, Ask before moving anything, Respect the family’s time, Explain the price before the work. We test the system methodically, using combustion analyzers, gauges, and meters to find the actual failure.
- 3
Written price, no surprises – Before any repair work starts, you get a written price that includes parts, labor, and any fees. You approve it first. If there are options, we explain each one with real numbers, so you can choose what makes sense for your budget and your family.
- 4
Repair and re-test – We complete the repair using quality parts, then run the furnace through several full cycles to confirm it’s heating correctly, the flame looks right, and carbon monoxide levels are safe. We check the airflow through the house and confirm the thermostat is behaving. The job isn’t done until the system proves it works.
- 5
Clean-up, documentation, and follow-up – Drop cloths come up, tools are packed, and we photograph the cleaned work area before we leave, sending you the photo as proof. You get a summary of what was done, what was replaced, and what warranty applies. The 365-Day Done Right Promise stands behind all of it, if anything goes wrong, we come back and make it right.
How Much Does Furnace Repair Cost in Alpharetta?
A typical furnace repair in Alpharetta runs $150 to $700. On the lower end, you’re looking at $150 to $250 for things like a flame sensor cleaning, a thermostat repair, or a limit switch reset. Mid-range work, $250 to $450, covers igniter replacements, gas valve adjustments, pressure switch replacements, and most electrical diagnostic work. Higher-end repairs, $450 to $700, usually involve blower motors, control boards, gas valve replacements, or heat exchanger-related issues. The exact price depends on what failed, how old the system is, and whether the part is stocked locally or needs to be ordered.
What affects the price: the age of the furnace, because older units sometimes use parts that are no longer manufactured, the brand, because some proprietary parts cost more, and the time of year, because winter demand can affect part availability. What does not affect the price: the time of day. We don’t charge overtime for nights, weekends, or holidays.
You avoid overpaying by working with a company that gives you a written price before any work starts, which is exactly what we do. Our free estimate includes the diagnostic visit, the explanation of what’s wrong, and the exact cost to fix it. You’re never committed to a repair you didn’t approve. If the repair doesn’t make financial sense, we’ll tell you that too, with numbers for what a new system would cost and how long it would take to install.
