Available 24/7. $90 diagnostic applied to your repair.
Quick Facts
Furnace Repair in Toledo, OH — 24/7
When your furnace goes out in the middle of a Toledo winter, you're not calling around for quotes. You need someone who picks up and shows up. Rick's has been doing that for over 35 years across Toledo and Northwest Ohio — and we're available around the clock, every day of the year.
Toledo winters hit hard. Temps regularly drop below 20°F before wind chill, and the heating season runs from October well into April. That kind of run time wears equipment out — especially in older homes in South Toledo, Oregon, and Point Place where some of the ductwork is as old as the house. We've worked in all of it.
Our diagnostic is $90 and goes toward your repair. Most Toledo furnace repairs land between $150 and $600. We give you the price upfront — no games after we've already torn the unit apart. With 1,800+ reviews across our three locations at 4.9 stars, Toledo homeowners know what to expect from us. Call 419-557-8719 or schedule online.
Signs Your Toledo Furnace Needs Repair
Furnaces rarely fail without warning. Catching it early is the difference between a quick fix and a full replacement in February.
Furnace won't turn on or keeps shutting off
Banging, rattling, or squealing noises
Weak heat or can't reach your thermostat setting
Gas, burning, or musty smell
Energy bills jumped for no clear reason
Thermostat flickering or not responding
Visible rust, corrosion, or water pooling near the unit
Short cycling — turns on and off every few minutes
What We Find Most Often in Toledo
After 35 years working on furnaces in Northwest Ohio, the same problems keep coming up. Here's what they are and what they mean for your repair.
Dirty or Failed Ignitor
When the ignitor wears out or gets coated with carbon, the furnace clicks but never fires. One of the most common repairs we see — and usually straightforward to fix.
Clogged Filter
A filter you haven't changed in months blocks airflow, causes the furnace to overheat, and trips the limit switch. It's a $5 fix you can do yourself. Check this first.
Faulty Flame Sensor
The flame sensor confirms the burners lit. When it corrodes, it cuts the gas as a safety measure even when everything else works. Usually resolves with a cleaning or replacement.
Blower Motor Failure
The blower moves heated air through your ducts. When it fails, the furnace overheats and shuts down. You'll notice weak or no airflow at the registers.
Cracked Heat Exchanger
Separates combustion gases from your breathing air. Cracks are a safety hazard. Toledo's long winters wear these out faster than most climates — it's one reason annual tune-ups matter.
Control Board or Thermostat
The control board manages ignition, blower speed, and safety shutoffs. A failing board causes erratic behavior or complete shutdown. Thermostat wiring faults can look identical and cost a lot less to fix.

We Know Toledo Homes
Toledo's heating season is long — October through April is realistic — and the cold comes with Lake Erie wind chill that makes it hit harder than the thermometer says. That extended run time is why Northwest Ohio sees more heat exchanger wear and ignitor failures than warmer markets.
Older homes in South Toledo, Old West End, and Westgate often have original ductwork and equipment that's been patched together for decades. Newer builds in Perrysburg, Holland, and Whitehouse more commonly have high-efficiency condensing furnaces that need a different diagnostic approach. We work on both — gas, electric, oil, all of it.
Rick started this company in 2012 after 35 years working on HVAC in this market. He's veteran-owned and BBB certified. The way we run it is simple: tell people what's wrong, give them the price upfront, do the work right, and back it with a 10-year parts and labor warranty. That's it.
If you want to avoid the emergency call entirely, our maintenance plan includes annual tune-ups and 24/7 priority service. Most of our plan members haven't had an unexpected breakdown in years.
Ian, Dylan, Ryland, and Brenden made the entire experience wonderful and completely painless. We had both our central air conditioner and furnace replaced. Considerable pricing and extrodinarily professional.

Is getting new flooring and found a soft spot in my subfloor. They pulled up the old flooring and the ac had leaked all over and caused an issue. Called Rick's and they sent someone out right away. Unfortunately it meant the whole AC coil and condenser had to be replaced. Rick's gave me a fantastic price and installed two days later. Justin, Jesse and Bryce came out and they were not only nice to me, but to my cats as well.
Jill Yawberg
We recently had a new furnace and AC unit installed by Jesse and Bryce. They did a fantastic job! They showed up on time, were professional and very respectful of our home. They kept us updated as they worked, cleaned up completely after the job and took the time to answer all our questions so we felt comfortable with the new system! Rick himself stopped out during the job to introduce himself and see if we had any questions, which is why we love working with family owned companies! The whole process was prompt and smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend Ricks Affordable!
There is nothing about this experience that wasn't great. I could not be happier with the furnace, the installation process or the crew. I had a new furnace and AC installation done and from my perspective it went exactly as it should. Shout out to Jackson, Jesse, Jacob and Rylan for a job well done.
Gerry Davis
Rick's Affordable Heating and Cooling truly saved the day! Our furnace went out on a Saturday, and Ian arrived quickly to help. He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. I really appreciated how he explained everything he was doing— made the whole process feel easy and transparent.
Daniel Briggs
Rick came out to our home on a Sunday within an hour of us calling, and fixed our problem. Amazing customer service, great honest guy! We will definitely be using them again for any future HVAC needs.
