Furnace Repair & Replacement in Hampton Roads
Gas and electric furnaces, repaired right and checked for safety — before the first cold night, not after.
A furnace sits idle in Hampton Roads from roughly April to October. Then the first cold front comes through, everyone turns the heat on the same night, and the furnaces that had a problem all summer finally show it. Igniters crack, flame sensors get dirty, and blower motors that were fine in March won't start in November.
RedVine Mechanical repairs and replaces gas and electric furnaces across Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, and Newport News. We find the actual problem, explain it in plain language, and give you the price before we start.
Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair
- The blower runs but the air never gets warm
- The furnace tries to light, clicks, and shuts off
- A loud bang or boom when the burners light
- Your carbon monoxide detector chirps or alarms — get everyone out and call for help first
- A burning smell that lasts more than the first half hour of the season
- Some rooms are warm and others stay cold
- The furnace runs constantly or turns on and off every few minutes
Furnace Repair
Most no-heat calls come down to a handful of parts: the igniter, the flame sensor, the pressure switch, the inducer motor, the blower motor or its capacitor, or the control board. We test each one instead of guessing, so you pay for the part that actually failed.
Gas furnaces also get a safety check on every repair visit. We look at the burners, the heat exchanger, the venting, and the gas connections, because a furnace that turns on is not the same as a furnace that is safe to run.
What Is Normal the First Time You Turn the Heat On
A dusty or burning smell for the first half hour of the season is normal. Dust settles on the heat exchanger and burns off. If the smell lasts longer, smells electrical, or comes back every time the heat runs, shut the system off and call us.
A loud bang when the burners light is not normal. It usually means gas is building up before it ignites, often from dirty burners. That needs a technician, not another try.
Furnace Replacement
When a furnace has a cracked heat exchanger, needs a major part, or keeps breaking down, replacement is usually the better choice. We size the new furnace to your home, check the ductwork and venting it connects to, and install gas or electric units from Trane, Carrier, and Goodman.
If your home already has a heat pump, we can also talk through a dual fuel setup, where a gas furnace takes over on the coldest days. Every new full system installation comes with our two-year labor warranty.

Furnace Repair & Replacement: Frequently Asked Questions
When should I get my furnace serviced in Hampton Roads?
September or October. The region usually sees its first real cold nights in late October or November, so a fall tune-up finds problems while the weather is still mild and before the first-cold-snap rush.
Is a burning smell from my furnace normal?
For the first half hour of the season, yes — it is dust burning off the heat exchanger. If it lasts longer, smells electrical, or happens every time the heat runs, turn the system off and call us.
Do you repair electric furnaces as well as gas?
Yes. We repair and replace both gas and electric furnaces, plus the air handlers used with heat pumps.
What should I do if my carbon monoxide detector goes off?
Get everyone out of the house and call 911 or your gas utility first. Once the home has been cleared, call us to inspect the furnace and venting before it runs again.
Do you offer a furnace tune-up special?
Yes. Fall heating tune-ups are $25 off through November. The tune-up covers the furnace or heat pump inspection, burner cleaning and safety check, filter replacement, and a thermostat and airflow test.
