Fast, Reliable Furnace Repair Across Kendall
Most furnace repairs in Kendall run $150 – $700 and our technicians carry the parts to finish same-day on most gas furnace calls. When your heat goes out, you need someone who knows the house you’re living in, not just the equipment. Our Furnace Repair team serves Kendall from our Miami office, with crews dispatched to neighborhoods from The Hammocks to Country Walk and along Kendall Drive typically within the hour.
Kendall’s housing stock tells a specific story. The 1970s CBS ranches, the 1980s townhome clusters, and the post-Hurricane Andrew rebuilds from 1992 are all cycling through furnace failures together. That 1993 Carrier or Rheem in your attic was sized for a different code era, and the flex duct it breathes through has been sagging in 120-degree attic heat for decades. We see the same patterns on SW 104th Street, in the Kings Creek townhomes, and out near Miller Drive. The heat doesn’t wait, and neither do we. Call (984) 538-9003 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day.

Our reviews from Kendall homeowners consistently mention the same things: the written price before any work starts, the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every repair, and the relief of knowing exactly who is walking into their home. Parents with young children and older homeowners tell us this matters more than a discount coupon.
Response time to Kendall neighborhoods averages under an hour during business hours, and our emergency line, (984) 538-9003, is staffed by a live person every night, weekend, and holiday. No voicemail, no callback queue.
We also understand what Kendall homes do to furnaces. The high humidity that seeps into attic-mounted air handlers, the corroded condensate lines that flood primary pans, the undersized return ducts from the 1978 build that starve modern blowers. Local knowledge means faster diagnosis and fewer return trips.
Boiler Repair in Kendall
Boiler Repair in Kendall addresses hydronic heating systems found in select townhome communities and older single-story builds, particularly in pockets near Snapper Creek and the eastern edge of The Hammocks. These systems circulate heated water through baseboard convectors or in-floor loops rather than forcing warm air through ducts. In Kendall’s climate, boilers see light winter duty but heavy corrosion stress from ambient humidity that attacks circulator pumps, expansion tanks, and zone valves year-round. Most Boiler Repair calls in Kendall fall within our $150 – $700 range, with circulator replacements at the lower end and heat-exchanger work toward the higher end.
Corrosion-Prone Components
Boiler relief valves and auto-fill regulators fail prematurely in Kendall’s 80-plus percent humidity. We test operating pressure, check expansion tank pre-charge, and replace corroded fittings with brass or stainless hardware rated for wet environments. A leaking relief valve isn’t just a drip; it’s a sign the expansion tank has lost its air cushion or the fill valve is stuck open.
Zone Control Troubleshooting
Many Kendall townhomes run two or three heating zones off a single boiler. When one zone stays cold, the culprit is often a seized zone valve or a circulator running on a failed capacitor. We isolate the zone, test valve actuator draw, and verify pump amp draw before quoting any work. Every repair carries our written 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Gas Furnace Repair in Kendall
Gas Furnace Repair in Kendall covers the natural-gas and propane-fired forced-air systems that heat the majority of Kendall’s single-family homes, from the 1970s ranches near SW 117th Avenue to the post-Andrew rebuilds throughout the area. These units live in attics, garages, or closet alcoves, and they battle constant humidity that degrades ignitors, corrodes flame sensors, and rots collector boxes on 90-percent-efficient condensing models. A typical Gas Furnace Repair in Kendall costs $150 – $700, with ignitor or flame-sensor replacements on the lower end and heat-exchanger or gas-valve work toward the upper limit.
Inducer and Pressure-Switch Failures
The inducer motor pulls combustion gases through the heat exchanger and out the flue. After thirty years of cycling in Kendall’s humid attics, these motors seize or their pressure switches drift out of calibration. We test draft pressure with a manometer, verify heat-exchanger integrity with a borescope, and replace only what has actually failed. On a 1978 CBS ranch off SW 104th Street near Kendall Drive, our tech found a failing inducer assembly on an original 1993 Carrier gas furnace; the heat exchanger passed inspection, but we also discovered the return static pressure was 0.9 in. w.c. because the 1978 return duct was undersized for the home’s current tonnage, so we sized a new return and installed a proper secondary float switch on the condensate pan before recommending a like-for-like swap. After replacing the inducer and capacitor, the system fired cleanly and the homeowner avoided a full replacement until the NOA-approved equipment arrives.
Control Board and Blower Diagnosis
Short-cycling that looks like a control-board fault often traces back to airflow restriction. We measure total external static pressure across the blower, compare it to the manufacturer’s maximum, and check whether the original flex duct has collapsed or disconnected in the attic. Fixing the root cause prevents the replacement board from failing the same way.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We repair Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem systems daily in Kendall, and we stock the most common failure parts for these brands on our service vans. That means a cracked ignitor on your Lennox Elite series or a failed pressure switch on your Trane XV80 often gets fixed on the first trip without waiting for a parts run. For less common models, our Miami office coordinates same-day or next-morning pickup from local distributors. We also service Carrier, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard equipment. Every repair begins with a written price and ends with a written guarantee.
Common Furnace Repair Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Cracked heat exchangers on post-Andrew furnaces. The 1992 – 1994 replacement wave installed thousands of units that have now cycled through 30-plus winters in humid attics. Metal fatigue and corrosion create cracks that can leak carbon monoxide into the supply air. We inspect with a borescope and combustion analyzer, and we show you what we see.
- Undersized flex ductwork starving the blower. Original 1970s – 80s duct was sized for smaller equipment and has sagged, torn, or disconnected in sweltering attic cavities. The resulting high static pressure causes the blower motor to overamp and the control board to fault out. We measure, we show you the numbers, and we size corrections properly.
- Condensate drain lines flooding primary pans. Kendall’s slab-on-grade CBS homes often plumbed furnace condensate to yard discharge instead of sanitary drains. The extreme latent load here fills pans multiple times each summer, tripping float switches and shutting down the system. We install secondary float switches and dedicated condensate pumps as baseline, not upsells.
- Corroded coil fins and base pans from canal-zone moisture. Kendall’s dense canal network and near-surface limestone water table keep ground moisture chronically elevated. Condensing furnaces suffer accelerated corrosion on secondary heat exchangers and drain components. We catch this early before it becomes a replacement.

What drives the number? The part that failed, whether the heat exchanger is still safe, and whether your duct system is contributing to the problem. A ignitor swap runs toward the $150 – $300 end. A cracked heat exchanger or failed gas valve pushes toward $500 – $700, and if we find your 1978 return duct is choking the system, we’ll show you the static-pressure reading and explain what sizing a proper return involves. We give you a written price before any work starts. No exceptions. Estimates are free. Call (984) 538-9003.

FAQs About Furnace Repair in Kendall
The pressure switch verifies that the inducer motor is pulling adequate draft through the heat exchanger. In Kendall’s 30-year-old post-Andrew furnaces, the inducer housing or flue pipe often has corrosion holes, the pressure switch port is clogged with debris, or the heat exchanger itself is cracked enough to leak combustion air. Changing the filter helps airflow but doesn’t fix draft problems. We test with a manometer and inspect the heat exchanger with a borescope. Call (984) 538-9003 for a free diagnostic.
A like-for-like swap usually disappoints in Kendall’s older CBS homes. The original flex duct was sized for smaller equipment, and single-zone systems can’t balance the unbalanced floor plans common here. We measure total external static pressure and run a Manual J load calculation before recommending any replacement. Often the duct needs upsizing, zoning needs adding, or the electrical panel needs upgrading to meet current NOA requirements. We’ll show you the numbers.
No. The Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance applies to equipment replacement and new installation, not to component-level repairs like ignitors, blowers, or control boards. However, if your repair reveals the heat exchanger is cracked or the system is otherwise beyond safe operation, any replacement we install must carry the NOA. Kendall sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and this approval layer is stricter than what Broward County requires. We handle the NOA verification as part of our replacement process.
Kendall’s extreme latent load, the highest in the region because we’re cut off from coastal sea breezes, generates enormous condensate volume. Many 1970s – 80s slab homes here were plumbed to yard discharge rather than sanitary drains, and those lines clog with algae or settle into the limestone. The primary pan overflows, the float switch trips, and the system shuts down. We treat secondary float switches and condensate pumps as standard protection, not optional add-ons. Local inspectors enforce this.
The dense canal system and near-surface water table keep ambient moisture chronically high around equipment pads and in crawl-adjacent areas. This accelerates corrosion on secondary heat exchangers, blower housings, and electrical connections. A repair that might last ten years in a drier climate may need attention sooner here. We factor this into our diagnosis and recommend corrosion-resistant replacements where appropriate. Our pricing stays within the $150 – $700 range regardless of these local conditions. Call (984) 538-9003 for an exact quote.
