When the heat goes out in Omaha, NE, the clock starts ticking, and the diagnosis depends entirely on what kind of system is doing the failing. On a gas furnace, the most common no-heat call we run is a flame sensor coated in oxide: the burners light, the sensor cannot prove the flame, and the board shuts the gas down three tries later and locks out. Close behind come cracked hot surface igniters, stuck pressure switches, clogged condensate traps on high-efficiency models, and blower motors that have quietly worn out. Heat pumps fail differently: a weak defrost cycle leaves the outdoor coil armored in ice, a failed reversing valve strands the system in cooling, and a dead outdoor unit leaves the electric backup strips carrying the whole house at several times the operating cost.

- A loud boom when the burners light, which points to delayed ignition
- Thick ice or frost covering the heat pump outside
- Clicking and failed ignition attempts before the furnace gives up
- Short cycling every few minutes while the house stays cold
- Uneven heat, with certain rooms that never warm up
- Strange smells from the vents, especially rotten egg or burning
