Gas furnaces are less common than heat pumps on the Eastern Shore, but plenty of Daphne, Fairhope and Spanish Fort homes still have one, either on its own or paired with a heat pump. When the first cold snap arrives and the furnace won’t light, you need a contractor who works on gas equipment. Call **(251) 850-5502** and we’ll connect you with a licensed, insured HVAC contractor who repairs and installs furnaces in Daphne and nearby Baldwin County. The contractor inspects the furnace and gives you an estimate. The same line covers air conditioning repair in Daphne [/ →](/) in the summer. ## How a Gas Furnace Lights, and Where It Fails When the thermostat calls for heat, the **draft inducer motor** starts first to clear the vent. A **pressure switch** confirms the draft is right. Then the **hot surface igniter** glows, the **gas valve** opens, and the burners light. A **flame sensor** proves there’s a flame; if it doesn’t see one within seconds, the gas shuts off for safety. That sequence explains most no-heat calls. A cracked igniter, a corroded flame sensor, a stuck pressure switch or a weak inducer motor will stop the furnace at a specific step. A contractor watches the sequence and tests each part to find the one that failed. ## Safety Comes First Gas furnaces burn fuel, so venting and the **heat exchanger** matter. A crack in the heat exchanger can let combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, mix with household air. Every home with gas appliances should have a working **carbon monoxide detector** near sleeping areas and on each level. If a CO alarm sounds, get everyone outside and call 911. If you smell gas, leave first and call the gas utility from outside. Our gas furnace safety guide [/guide/gas-furnace-carbon-monoxide-safety/ →](/guide/gas-furnace-carbon-monoxide-safety/) covers warning signs. ## New Furnace Quotes If your furnace is old or unsafe, the contractor can quote a replacement. Furnaces are rated by **AFUE rating**, the share of fuel that becomes heat. Many homes here also look at replacing the furnace with a heat pump, or pairing the two. There’s no referral fee. ## Gas Service on the Eastern Shore Natural gas isn’t available on every street. Homes in parts of Daphne and Fairhope are on **Spire gas service** or a local utility, while others use propane or all-electric heat. The contractor can confirm what your home has and what makes sense for a new system.

Most furnace repairs on the Eastern Shore are small parts: a hot surface igniter, a flame sensor, a pressure switch or a draft inducer motor. Gas valves and control boards cost more. A cracked heat exchanger is a safety problem and usually means replacing the furnace. The contractor gives you an estimate before any work. For older furnaces, ask them to price a replacement too, including a heat pump or dual-fuel option. Why a furnace won't ignite [/guide/furnace-wont-ignite/ →](/guide/furnace-wont-ignite/) Coastal Conditions ## Gas Heat on the Eastern Shore Most Baldwin County homes heat with heat pumps, so furnaces get used only a few weeks a year. That light use hides problems. A furnace that sat all summer in a humid garage or attic can have a rusty burner, a corroded flame sensor or a nest in the vent. A fall safety check before the first cold snap is the best way to find out, and a working carbon monoxide detector should be on every level of the home.

Got Questions? ## Gas Furnace Repair Questions ### Why does my furnace click but not light? Most often a failed hot surface igniter or a dirty flame sensor. It can also be a pressure switch or gas supply issue. A licensed contractor can test each part. ### Can I clean the flame sensor myself? Gas appliance work is best left to a licensed contractor. They can clean or replace the sensor and check the rest of the ignition sequence safely. ### What should I do if I smell gas? Leave the house right away, don't flip switches, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Once the gas company clears it, a contractor can repair the furnace. ### How often should a gas furnace be checked? Once a year, before heating season. Because furnaces sit idle so long here, fall checks are especially useful. ### Is a heat pump a better choice than a new furnace? Often, on the Eastern Shore. Mild winters suit heat pumps well. Some homes keep gas as backup in a dual-fuel setup. ### Do you work with Spire gas customers? Contractors on our line work on furnaces regardless of gas provider, including homes on Spire gas service. Gas supply issues at the meter go to the utility. Still have questions? Call and ask.
