Most furnace repairs in Columbus run $150 – $700 and our Furnace Repair team can usually get to you same day.

We’re Brandt HVAC, part of the Threshold Group family since 2003, and our Columbus crews are dispatched from our Cleveland office with parts stocked for the brands we see most in central Ohio.

Why Brandt HVAC Is Columbus’s Preferred Furnace Repair Company
We’ve been answering calls from Columbus homeowners long enough to know the difference between a Grove City builder-grade furnace from 2004 and a Bexley brick colonial with original 1920s ductwork. Our technicians are background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced by name and photo before every visit under our Threshold Verified standard. You’ll see the same photo ID badge at the door. Every repair starts with a written price you approve before we touch a tool, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the repair fails, we return at no charge.
Dispatch and scheduling for Columbus run through our Cleveland office, but the technicians who arrive at your door live and work in central Ohio. They carry Rheem, York, Daikin, and Bryant parts on the truck because those are the brands we see in Columbus homes every day. No voicemail trees, no callback queues. A real person answers the phone.
Heating Repair in Columbus
Heating Repair in Columbus covers everything from emergency no-heat calls in the University District to precision blower motor replacements in Powell subdivisions. When your system blows cold air, cycles constantly, or won’t fire at all, our techs diagnose the root cause and give you a written price before starting work. Most heating repairs in Columbus fall between $150 – $700, with simpler fixes like ignitor replacements on the lower end and heat exchanger work toward the top.
What We Check First
Our techs start with combustion analysis, gas pressure testing, and amp draws on the blower motor. In Columbus’s older homes, we also inspect flue condition and static pressure across the duct system. Tight closets and original ductwork in neighborhoods like Clintonville and Bexley create conditions that newer suburban systems rarely face.
Same-Day Parts Availability
We stock ignitors, flame sensors, blower motors, and control boards for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. Most Columbus repairs finish in a single visit because we don’t have to order parts.
Boiler Repair in Columbus
Boiler Repair in Columbus keeps hydronic heat running in the brick colonials and vintage bungalows of German Village, Bexley, and Clintonville where forced-air retrofits never made sense. We work on cast-iron steam boilers, modern gas-fired hydronic systems, and everything between. Most boiler repairs in Columbus run $150 – $700, with circulator pump replacements and zone valve repairs on the lower end and heat exchanger work higher.
Older Steam Systems
German Village and Bexley homes still run original one-pipe steam with cast-iron radiators. Our techs know how to diagnose water hammer, uneven heating, and failed pressuretrols without suggesting unnecessary replacements. These systems last forever if you repair them right.
Modern Hydronic Conversions
Some Clintonville homeowners have upgraded to high-efficiency modulating boilers. We service these too, including combustion recalibration and condensate drain clearing that Columbus’s hard water can clog.
Trusted Brands We Service in Columbus
We repair Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and American Standard furnaces and boilers in Columbus every day. Our trucks carry the most common failure parts for these brands because we’ve tracked what actually fails in Columbus’s climate and housing stock. That means faster repairs and fewer return trips. We don’t push one brand over another, we fix what you have.
Common Furnace Repair Problems We See in Columbus Homes
- Cracked heat exchangers in 20-year-old builder-grade furnaces. Dublin, Hilliard, and Grove City tract homes built from the mid-1990s through the late 2000s used value-engineered equipment now hitting end-of-life. We see these failures clustered in the same neighborhoods, often during the first sub-zero cold snap of January.
- Inducer and blower motor failures in Clintonville and Bexley brick colonials. Original ductwork creates high static pressure that forces motors to work harder. Short cycling during cold snaps finishes them off.
- Ignition failures in University District rentals. Landlords between student turnovers skip annual tune-ups. Capacitors weaken, flame sensors corrode, and the first cold week in January brings a surge of no-heat calls.
- Flue and venting issues in pre-1940s homes. Original unlined masonry flues can’t accept modern PVC venting without full liner replacement. We’ve re-lined dozens of Clintonville flues where a simple furnace swap became a venting project.

FAQs About Furnace Repair in Columbus
Yes. We’ve repaired and replaced furnaces in dozens of Clintonville homes with original ductwork, including a February call on Oakland Avenue where we removed a hall closet door to access a failed Carrier unit. We match the new furnace to your existing static pressure and airflow constraints. Full duct replacement is rarely required for a furnace repair or replacement. Call (984) 538-9003 and we’ll assess your specific setup.
Columbus’s outer-ring suburbs were built during an aggressive growth period from the mid-1990s through the late 2000s, and developers installed value-engineered furnaces with 20 – 25 year lifespans. Those units are now failing simultaneously, a concentrated replacement wave that slower-growing Ohio cities like Toledo or Dayton simply don’t experience. We’re tracking this pattern and stocking parts accordingly.
Our tech will diagnose the problem, explain it in plain language, and provide a written price before starting work. If your landlord needs to approve the repair, we can speak with them directly or provide documentation. In the University District, we commonly find failed ignitors, dirty flame sensors, and weak capacitors from years of deferred maintenance. Same-day service is usually available. Call (984) 538-9003.
In Columbus, short cycling usually means restricted airflow from original ductwork, a failing limit switch, or an oversized furnace heating the space too quickly. In older neighborhoods like Bexley and Clintonville, we’ve found blocked returns and collapsed ductwork behind walls. In suburban tract homes, it’s often a dirty filter combined with a furnace already stressed by age. Our tech will measure temperature rise and static pressure to pinpoint the cause. Call (984) 538-9003 for diagnosis.
We repair boilers throughout German Village, Bexley, and all of Columbus. These neighborhoods have significant hydronic heat in brick colonials and vintage homes where forced air was never installed. We service steam and hot-water boilers, including circulator pumps, zone valves, and pressure controls. Written pricing and our 365-Day Done Right Promise apply to every boiler repair.
