Furnace Repair Services in Audubon, PA
- Locally Owned & Operated
- Trust & Transparency
- Long-Term Relationships
The first real cold snap in Audubon usually arrives before anyone is ready for it. A furnace that sat untouched from March through October gets called on for the first time overnight, and the failures that surface in those first few days were almost always sitting there waiting since spring.
Davis Modern Heating & Cooling repairs furnaces across Audubon and the rest of Lower Providence Township. We have been family owned since 1850, we service every brand, and we work on natural gas, propane, oil, and electric equipment. When the heat goes out at two in the morning, our on-call team is who picks up.

Signs Your Furnace Needs Attention
A furnace rarely fails without giving a warning or two first. These are the ones worth acting on.
- Heat cutting out mid cycle
- Cold air from vents
- Burner failing to light
- Repeated resetting required
- Yellow or flickering flame
- Banging at startup
- Burning or sooty smell
- Rooms never warming evenly
- Blower running constantly
- Carbon monoxide alarm sounding
Anything involving a carbon monoxide alarm or the smell of gas should be treated as an emergency rather than a service request.
What Usually Goes Wrong With Furnaces Around Here
High efficiency furnaces vent through a sidewall pipe rather than a chimney, and in this township that pipe is a frequent source of trouble. Drifting snow, leaf litter from the wooded corridors along the Perkiomen and Schuylkill, and the occasional nest will block intake or exhaust enough to trip the pressure switch and shut the furnace down. The homeowner resets it, it runs briefly, and it stops again.
Condensate is the companion problem. A high efficiency furnace produces water as it runs, and when that drain line passes through an unheated garage, crawl space, or outside wall it can freeze during a cold night. The safety switch does exactly what it is supposed to and stops the furnace, which is why so many of these calls come in during the first hard freeze rather than in mid February.
The rest is mostly ignition and flame related. Dirty flame sensors, worn igniters, fouled burners, and failing inducer motors account for a large share of what we repair. On properties in this part of the township that sit off the gas main and run oil or propane, we also see clogged nozzles, dirty filters, and pump faults that produce the same complaint of a furnace that will not stay lit.
The Heating Repairs We Handle in Audubon
We repair and service furnaces of every type and brand, including natural gas, propane, oil, and electric equipment. Alongside furnaces we work on boilers, heat pumps, thermostats, ductwork, and ventilation, so a heating complaint that turns out to be a distribution problem does not require calling a second company.
A repair visit includes checking ignition and flame sensing, gas or oil pressure, heat exchanger condition, blower operation, safety controls, venting, and airflow. We test rather than guess, and we explain what failed and why before any part goes in. Carbon monoxide safety is part of every visit rather than something we sell separately.
When a furnace has reached the end of its life, we lay out replacement honestly, including high efficiency options compatible with natural gas, propane, heating oil, and electric. We also bring more than thirty five years of experience with geothermal heat pumps and solar heating, which comes up on the larger properties out here more often than most people expect.
Winter Work at an Audubon Home
Doug called from Audubon on a January morning after his furnace stopped keeping up overnight. It would fire, run a few minutes, shut down, and start the cycle over again, and the house had drifted into the low sixties by the time he reached us.
Our technician found the exhaust termination on the side of the house partly blocked by packed snow and leaf debris, and a flame sensor coated enough that the furnace was losing flame signal partway through each cycle. We cleared the vent, cleaned and reseated the sensor, checked the pressure switch and inducer, and confirmed the condensate drain was flowing freely.
The furnace ran a full cycle and held temperature the rest of the day. We showed Doug where that vent terminates and what to keep clear after a storm, which takes about a minute and prevents the single most common winter call we get in this area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my furnace start and then shut off?
Short cycling on a furnace is often caused by a blocked vent, a dirty flame sensor, a frozen condensate drain, or a restricted filter. Repeated manual resetting does not address the cause and can make the problem worse.
Do you offer emergency furnace repair overnight?
Yes. We have technicians on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays.
What should I do if my carbon monoxide alarm goes off?
Get everyone outside first, then call the fire department or your gas utility from outside the house. Once the situation is safe, the heating system needs to be inspected before it is used again.
Do you service oil furnaces and boilers?
Yes. We repair, maintain, and install oil furnaces, gas and oil boilers, propane equipment, and electric heat alongside conventional gas furnaces.
How often should a furnace be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in fall before the first cold stretch. Annual service catches ignition, venting, and safety issues before they turn into a no heat call.
