HVAC Repair Services | The Metalsmiths

The Metalsmiths Difference

A customer recently came to us after a big-name company quoted them over $2,000 for a full furnace replacement. Our technician diagnosed the real problem in 20 minutes: a dirty filter causing the system to overheat. Total cost: $150.

That's not unusual for us. We see it all the time—companies with commissioned salespeople pushing expensive replacements when a simple repair would do the job.

Our No BS Promise

We'll tell you exactly what's wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether repair or replacement makes more sense for YOUR situation. If it's a $150 fix, that's what we'll recommend—even when others would push a $5,000 system.

Common Repairs We See

These are some of the most frequent issues we diagnose and fix:

Dirty filters — The #1 cause of HVAC problems. Causes overheating, short cycling, and breakdowns.
Thermostat issues — Dead batteries, miscalibration, faulty wiring.
Igniter failures — Furnace won't light or stay lit.
Refrigerant leaks — AC or heat pump not cooling/heating properly.
Blower motor problems — No airflow, weak airflow, or strange noises.
Electrical issues — Tripped breakers, faulty contactors, loose connections.
Capacitor failures — Fan or compressor won't start.

When Repair vs. Replace?

We'll always give you an honest recommendation. Generally:

Repair makes sense when the system is under 10 years old and the fix is under $500.
Consider replacement when the system is 15+ years old, needs frequent repairs, or faces a major component failure (heat exchanger, compressor).
Gray area: 10-15 years old with a $500-1,000 repair—we'll walk through the math with you so you can make an informed decision.

Whatever we recommend, we'll explain our reasoning. The choice is always yours.
