Emergency Furnace Repair
In Chebanse and throughout Kankakee and Iroquois Counties, winter temperatures regularly drop well below freezing. When your furnace stops working, it's not just an inconvenience—it can become a safety emergency within hours. ADL Heating & Air Conditioning takes emergency furnace calls seriously and responds promptly.
No Heat in Winter: If your furnace is running but producing no heat, or won't start at all, call immediately. A home without heat in an Illinois winter can reach dangerous temperatures quickly, especially for children, elderly residents, and pets.
Carbon Monoxide Detector Alarm: If your CO detector goes off, evacuate your home immediately and call 911. Once the building has been cleared by emergency responders, call ADL to inspect your furnace for a cracked heat exchanger or combustion issue. Never ignore a CO alarm.
Gas Smell: If you smell gas near your furnace or anywhere in your home, do not attempt to operate any switches or appliances. Leave the building, leave the door open, and call your gas utility from outside. After the gas company has cleared the situation, contact ADL to inspect and repair your furnace before restarting it.
Furnace Won't Ignite: Modern furnaces use electronic ignition systems. If your furnace attempts to start repeatedly without igniting, the ignitor or flame sensor may be faulty. This is a repair that requires a trained technician—do not attempt to manually light a furnace not designed for it. Call (815) 932-1630 for fast emergency service.
Furnace Troubleshooting Guide
Before calling for service, there are a few simple things homeowners can check that sometimes resolve furnace problems without a service call.
Check the Thermostat: Confirm your thermostat is set to "Heat" mode and the temperature setting is higher than the current room temperature. If you have a programmable or smart thermostat, check that the schedule is correct. Replace the batteries if the display is dim or blank.
Replace the Air Filter: A severely clogged filter restricts airflow and can cause a furnace to overheat and shut down on its safety limit switch. Check your filter—if it's gray and clogged, replace it with a clean filter and try restarting the furnace. Filters should be changed every 1–3 months during heating season.
Check the Circuit Breaker: Locate your electrical panel and verify the breaker for your furnace is in the "On" position. If it has tripped to the middle position, reset it once. If it trips again immediately, there is an electrical fault and you should call for service.
Check the Pilot Light (Older Furnaces): If you have an older furnace with a standing pilot light, check whether the pilot is lit. Many older furnaces have relighting instructions printed on a label inside the access panel. If the pilot won't stay lit after several attempts, the thermocouple may be faulty and needs professional replacement.
If none of these steps resolve the problem, call ADL Heating & Air Conditioning at (815) 932-1630. Our technicians serve all of Kankakee and Iroquois Counties.
