Smell gas? Call Cascade first
Leave the house before you call anyone. Cascade Natural Gas supplies gas in Mount Vernon. Once everyone is clear of the building, call Cascade at 888-522-1130 or 911. Do not use light switches, phones or the thermostat inside (Cascade gas safety). Call us after the utility has made the home safe.
No heat in Mount Vernon? Check these first
- Thermostat on HEAT, set a few degrees above room temperature, with fresh batteries.
- A clean air filter. A clogged one can overheat the furnace and trip its limit switch.
- The furnace power switch and the breaker in your panel are on.
- The front panel of the furnace is seated. A loose blower door stops the furnace.
- On high-efficiency furnaces, the plastic vent pipes outside are free of leaves and frost.
If the heat is still off, call (425) 645-0404.
Signs your Mount Vernon furnace needs repair
- Cool air from the vents while the burners should be running.
- The furnace shuts off early and restarts over and over (short cycling).
- Clicking with no flame, or a flame that lights and goes out.
- The blower never seems to reach full speed, so rooms stay cool.
- A flashing status light on the control board.
- Squeals, booms at ignition or rattles that were not there last winter.
- A burning or electrical smell that does not fade after the first run of the season.

After a flood or a wet crawlspace
Many properties in Mount Vernon sit in the 100-year floodplain of the Skagit River. If water reached your furnace, leave it off. Gas controls, wiring and motors that sat in water can be unsafe even after they dry. Book an inspection before running it, and if you smell gas, call Cascade from outside first.
How a Mount Vernon repair visit works
- You book a time window by phone or online.
- A NATE-certified technician from our Everett team checks the thermostat, controls, burners, safeties, blower and venting.
- You get the cause and a written repair price, and work starts only after you approve it.
- The technician completes the repair and runs the furnace through a full cycle before leaving.

Repair or replace your furnace?
Age, repair cost and safety decide it. A newer furnace with one failed part is almost always worth fixing. An older furnace that needs a major part, has no service history, or keeps failing in new ways is worth pricing against a replacement. The $5,000 rule helps: age times repair cost over $5,000 suggests getting a replacement quote.
If you replace, Cascade pays $1,600 for a qualifying 95% AFUE furnace or $2,400 for 98% AFUE, for installs on or after 15 March 2026 when gas is your main heat; apply within 90 days, and homes with a multi-zone ductless heat pump do not qualify (Cascade rebates). We are on Cascade's contractor list and handle the rebate paperwork. Most furnace installations take between 4 and 10 hours.

A recent Mount Vernon furnace repair: a limit switch and a chattering relay
In September our technician went back to a Mount Vernon home to replace a furnace's high temperature limit switch. With the new switch in, the furnace ran longer, but testing showed a second problem: a relay on the control board was chattering, so the blower never ramped up to its full speed.
He recommended replacing the control board and the low-voltage transformer, then checking the blower motor once a working board could drive it properly. The furnace was past its factory warranty and had no visible service records, so he also walked the homeowner through pricing a replacement before spending on more parts.

Can you come after hours?
Heating and cooling technicians work during business hours and are available after hours for qualifying emergencies ($330 after-hours fee), such as no heat in cold weather or a burning or electrical smell.
What should I do if I smell gas near my furnace?
Leave the house first. Once everyone is clear, call Cascade Natural Gas at 888-522-1130 or 911. Do not use light switches, phones or the thermostat inside. Call us after the utility has made it safe.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
Common causes are a failed ignitor or flame sensor, a clogged filter tripping the limit switch, or a thermostat set to fan "on". A diagnostic finds the real fault.
Why does my furnace keep shutting off?
Short cycling often comes from a dirty filter, a dirty flame sensor, an overheating limit switch or a blocked vent. A technician checks each one during the diagnostic.
Can you fix it on the first visit?
Our trucks are fully stocked, so most repairs can be handled on the spot. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you before we leave.
My furnace got wet in a flood. Can I turn it on?
No. Many Mount Vernon properties sit in the floodplain, and gas controls or wiring that sat in water can be unsafe. Leave it off and book an inspection.
Do I need a permit for a furnace repair in Mount Vernon?
Part-only repairs need no permit. Replacing a furnace needs a mechanical permit from the City of Mount Vernon, or Skagit County outside city limits, and we pull the required permits for every installation.
Is there a Cascade rebate for furnace repair?
No. Cascade's rebates are for new qualifying equipment: $1,600 for a 95% AFUE furnace or $2,400 for 98% AFUE, installed on or after 15 March 2026, when gas is your main heat. We handle the rebate paperwork.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
It depends on age, repair cost and safety. Our instant quote gives a replacement price range in about 30 seconds, and the in-home estimate is free. Most furnace installations take between 4 and 10 hours.
