If Your Gas Furnace Smells Like Rotten Eggs -- Shut It Off and Call Immediately
A sulfur or rotten egg smell near your gas furnace indicates a gas leak. Peoples Gas and TECO Peoples Gas add mercaptan odorant to natural gas so leaks are detectable. If you smell this odor near the furnace or gas lines, shut off the furnace, leave the home, call your gas company's emergency line, and call us. Do not operate electrical switches or use open flames. This is a life-safety situation that requires immediate response.
Call (813) 343-2212 for a FREE heating diagnostic -- same-day response on heating failures during cold weather.

Choosing the right heating repair for your Tampa Bay home
Heating System Repair vs Replacement: Making the Right Call in Tampa
A heating repair makes sense when the system is under 12-15 years old and the repair cost is less than 50% of replacement cost. For a heat pump with a failed capacitor ($279), a defrost board ($299), or a reversing valve ($1,198 labor plus the valve and refrigerant), repair is almost always the right call on a system under 10 years old. For systems over 15 years old, a compressor failure ($1,248 labor plus the compressor) or reversing valve failure ($1,198 labor plus the valve) on a system that also has aged capacitors, contactors, and blower motor bearings is a tipping point where replacement prevents a cascade of near-term additional repairs. We present both options with honest cost analysis -- we do not steer you toward replacement if repair is the right answer.

Why Tampa Needs a Specialized Approach to Heating Repair
Tampa Heat Pump Failures Often Hide Until the First Cold Front Arrives
Most Tampa heat pumps run in cooling mode from April through October without ever engaging the reversing valve in heating mode. After 6-7 months of one-directional operation, the first switch to heating mode in November or December is when stuck reversing valves, failed defrost control boards, and low refrigerant charge (which affects heating efficiency before cooling) reveal themselves. These are not emergency failures -- they are maintenance items that could have been caught at fall service. A pre-season heating check prevents the first cold night from becoming an emergency service call.
Electric Heat Strip Failures Are Common in Older Tampa Air Handlers
Heat strips in Tampa air handlers may not be energized for 7-8 months per year. When the thermostat calls for heating for the first time in fall, burned-out heating elements, failed sequencers, and faulty limit switches reveal themselves. A sequential heat strip system with two or three stages may partially fail -- producing some heat but not reaching setpoint -- which homeowners sometimes mistake for a heat pump refrigerant issue. We test each element, sequencer, and limit switch individually during the FREE diagnostic to identify the exact failed component.
Gas Furnace Ignition Failures Are the Most Common Gas Heating Problem in Tampa
Gas furnaces in Tampa that cycle through 5+ cold months of operation per year are prone to hot surface ignitor failure, induced draft motor failure, and flame sensor fouling. The hot surface ignitor is a fragile silicon carbide or silicon nitride element that glows red-hot to ignite the gas burner -- it typically lasts 5-8 years and is one of the most common gas furnace repair parts. Flame sensor fouling (carbon coating on the sensor rod) causes the furnace to ignite, sense no flame, and shut off within seconds. Both are inexpensive repairs when diagnosed correctly on the first visit.
Heating System Repair in Tampa -- Heat Pump, Heat Strip, and Furnace Repair
Tampa winters are short but when your heating system stops working during a December cold front that drops temperatures to 38 degrees F overnight, it is not a problem you want to wait on. Home Therapist diagnoses and repairs heat pumps, electric heat strip systems, and gas furnaces throughout Tampa Bay. Most common heating failures -- reversing valve issues, failed capacitors, burned heat strip elements, and contactor problems -- are diagnosed and repaired same-day. FREE diagnostic on every call.

How much does it cost to fix a heating problem?
Most heating repairs cost between $279 and $600 depending on the issue and parts required.
What is the $5000 rule?
Multiply your system’s age by the repair cost, if the total is over $5,000, replacement is usually the smarter choice.

If the repair is small and the system is under 10 years old, repair is usually cheaper. For older units with costly problems, replacement often saves more long-term.
How to fix a heating system in a home?
Simple steps like replacing filters or checking your thermostat can help, but professional repair is needed for electrical, mechanical, or airflow problems.

How to heat a house when the heater is broken?
