Our 17-year-old furnace died on a very cold holiday weekend! 😭 Jeff was SO KIND and came out twice on Saturday. We ended up needing a new furnace and he got it all arranged and let us borrow a space heater. Russ and Neil were great and installed it on Monday. Cassie got the permit with the city and the whole process was smooth and easy. Communication was fantastic. They were even nice to our crazy dogs. So grateful to have a warm house again! We trust McHenry Heating 100%! Thank you!

Straight answers
Common questions about furnace repair.
Every home and system is different. These answers help you prepare; an on-site diagnosis confirms the right next step.
Ask another questionWhat should I check before calling for furnace repair?
Confirm the thermostat setting, replace a visibly clogged filter if appropriate, and check whether a breaker has tripped; do not repeatedly reset equipment with electrical or fuel-related symptoms.
Is a furnace smell always an emergency?
A brief dusty smell at seasonal startup can occur, but persistent burning, fuel, or exhaust-like odors warrant shutting the system down and seeking prompt help.
Can you repair an older furnace?
A technician can inspect it and explain whether an available repair is safe and sensible compared with replacement.

My furnace went out and they came the next day. I had to replace it and they gave me a good price and installed the next day during the ice storm. They were kind enough to let me borrow a generator and a heater for the night so my pipes wouldn't freeze. They went the extra step for me. I would definitely recommend them!
I have been a customer for almost 10 years now and there is no other company I would trust with my Heating/Cooling/Water heater needs. Over the years I have purchased a Water Heater, new Furnace, and new air conditioner, never an issue. The team is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and just really easy to work with. I have always had a service plan on my system and one of the great things is the longevity of the staff. I have had Tony as my service tech now for i would say 3 years in a row. There is something comforting about always seeing the same person year after year knowing that they not only know your system but they know you. Thanks Mchenry Heating and Thanks Tony
