We dispatch from our Fresno, Central Valley office and serve Clovis neighborhoods directly, so we’re familiar with the specific equipment and duct configurations found in local homes.
If your furnace won’t start, short-cycles, or blows cold air, call (984) 538-9003. A live person answers 24 hours a day, and we’ll send you the technician’s name, photo, and background-check verification before they arrive at your door.
Why Brandt HVAC Is Clovis’s Preferred Furnace Repair Company
We’ve worked in enough Clovis attics to know the difference between a furnace problem and a duct problem that looks like one. The stucco tract homes off Temperance, the tile-roof subdivisions near Clovis Avenue, the two-stories up by Loma Vista – we’ve diagnosed short cycling in all of them, and we’ve learned that the fix is rarely just the part that failed.
Our Threshold Verified standard means you know exactly who is coming before they knock. Every technician is background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced by name and photo. If someone shows up who you weren’t told to expect, that visit is on us and we make it right.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. No voicemail, no callback queue, no automated phone trees.
Every repair begins with a written price you approve before any work starts. Every repair includes a written guarantee under our 365-Day Done Right Promise – if it fails, we return at no charge.
Heating Repair in Clovis
Heating Repair in Clovis covers furnaces, heat pumps, and the occasional wall heater in older outbuildings, but the bulk of our calls come from the mid-1990s-through-2010s stucco subdivisions where builder-grade furnaces sit in 140°F attics and wear out faster than their rated service life suggests. Most heating repairs in Clovis fall between $150 – $700, with the final price depending on whether we’re replacing a failed ignitor, a cracked heat exchanger, or a heat-stressed blower motor.
Ignitor and Flame Sensor Replacement
A hot-surface ignitor that glows but won’t light the gas, or a flame sensor that shuts the burner down seconds after ignition – these are common in Clovis homes where furnaces cycle on and off dozens of times per mild winter night. We test both components, clean or replace them, and verify the burner sequence before we leave.
Heat Exchanger Inspection and Replacement
Cracked heat exchangers are a safety issue we don’t negotiate on. In Clovis’s attic-mounted furnaces, heat-cycle stress from summer temperatures and short cycling from undersized returns both accelerate cracking. We inspect with a borescope, show you what we find, and if replacement is needed, we explain why duct sealing and proper airflow must be part of the solution.
Boiler Repair in Clovis
Boiler Repair in Clovis is a smaller part of our business than furnace work, but the homes that have them – some older ranch properties near Old Town Clovis and a few custom builds in the foothill transition zone – depend on them completely when the tule fog settles in. Most boiler repairs in Clovis run $150 – $700, similar to furnace work, though cast-iron heat exchanger replacement can push toward the higher end. We service standard gas boilers, combi units, and the occasional hydronic system tied to radiant floor loops.
Circulator Pump and Zone Valve Service
No heat in one zone but fine in another usually points to a stuck zone valve or a failing circulator pump. We test flow rates, check for air locks, and replace the component that’s actually failed – not the whole assembly if a single valve or cartridge will do.
Pressure and Expansion Tank Issues
Boilers that lose pressure repeatedly or trip the relief valve often have a waterlogged expansion tank or a slow leak in the hydronic loop. We pressure-test the system, check the tank’s air charge, and find the leak rather than just topping off the water and leaving.
Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
We repair Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem systems regularly in Clovis, and we carry common failure parts for these brands on our trucks to avoid a second trip. The builder-grade single-stage furnaces installed in Clovis’s 1990s-through-2010s subdivisions were mostly Carrier, Goodman, and Rheem units sized by rule of thumb rather than Manual J load calculation, so we see the same failure patterns – heat-stressed blower motors, cracked heat exchangers, and high-static-pressure issues – across multiple brands in the same neighborhoods. We also service York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard, and we can source parts for less common brands within a day or two.
Common Furnace Repair Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Heat-stressed blower motors in attic-mounted furnaces. A furnace sitting in 140 – 150°F summer temperatures for months at a time cooks its own blower motor and capacitor. The motor draws more amps, runs hotter, and fails prematurely – often showing up first as weak airflow during AC season.
- Heat exchanger cracks from short cycling. Builder-grade single-stage furnaces paired with undersized returns cycle on and off constantly on mild Clovis winter nights. Each heat cycle stresses the exchanger, and we find surface cracks in 15 – 20-year-old units that should have lasted longer.
- Failed ignitors from dust and agricultural particulate. The San Joaquin Valley’s PM2.5 levels are among the highest in the nation, and that fine dust infiltrates attic air handlers and furnace cabinets. Ignitors coated in silica-rich dust fail to reach ignition temperature or crack from thermal stress.
- “Won’t keep up” complaints that trace to duct leakage. A furnace that runs constantly but leaves bedrooms cold often has nothing wrong with the furnace itself. Leaky attic ducts lose 20 – 30% of heated air into the unconditioned space, and the system can’t overcome that deficit no matter how new the parts are.
On a 2004-built stucco two-story off Temperance and Shepherd in southeast Clovis, our tech chased a furnace that short-cycled with the blower cutting out mid-call; a failing capacitor and heat-stressed blower motor – both cooked by years in that 140°F attic – were replaced, and while we were up there we found the original single-stage Carrier’s heat exchanger showing surface cracks that a load calculation would have caught long ago. We sealed the supply runs feeding the upstairs bedrooms, reset the static pressure, and the system held through the next tule fog week.

FAQs About Furnace Repair in Clovis
It’s usually both, or rather the airflow problem causes the heat exchanger problem. Undersized returns and high static pressure – common in rule-of-thumb-sized Clovis subdivisions – starve the furnace of air, so it overheats and cycles off on limit. That short cycling stresses the heat exchanger. We measure static pressure, inspect the exchanger with a borescope, and fix the airflow before we replace any part that will just fail again. Call (984) 538-9003 for a diagnostic – estimates are free.
Builder warranties typically cover structural defects for 10 years and workmanship for 1 – 2 years, but HVAC equipment warranties come from the manufacturer and require registration within a tight window – often 60 – 90 days from installation. Many Clovis homeowners miss this, leaving them with only a base warranty. Even registered, manufacturer warranties cover parts only, not labor, and they don’t cover failures caused by improper sizing or duct leakage. We check your warranty status and explain what’s actually covered before we quote any work.
A failed furnace in Clovis isn’t the emergency it would be in Minneapolis, but tule fog drops temperatures into the 30s and keeps them there for days. If your heat exchanger is cracked, waiting risks carbon monoxide exposure. If it’s a failed ignitor or blower, you’re running space heaters and paying premium electric rates. We answer calls 24/7 and can usually diagnose same-day, so there’s no reason to guess. Call (984) 538-9003.
Because in Clovis, duct leakage and conductive heat gain through attic runs rob 20 – 30% of system capacity. A new furnace or blower motor can’t fix air that’s heating your attic instead of your bedroom. We test duct leakage with a pressure pan and show you the numbers. If the ducts are leaking, sealing them often improves comfort more than the part swap you called about – and it protects that new part from the same overwork that killed the old one.
A 2003 furnace in a Clovis attic has been cooking in 140°F summers for over 20 years. We inspect the heat exchanger, test the blower, and check whether the original rule-of-thumb sizing meets current Title 24 standards. If the exchanger is cracked or the system is significantly undersized, replacement with proper load calculation and duct sealing is usually the better investment. If it’s a single failed part and the heat exchanger is sound, repair under our 365-Day Done Right Promise makes sense. We’ll give you both options with real numbers and let you decide. Call (984) 538-9003.
