No heat in Port Orchard? Five checks first
Many no-heat calls end with a simple fix the homeowner could have made. Before you book, take two minutes for these:
- Set the thermostat to HEAT, a few degrees above room temperature, and replace weak batteries. A low-battery thermostat can stop calling for heat even when the screen still lights up.
- Find the switch on or beside the furnace (it looks like a light switch) and the furnace breaker in the panel. Both need to be on.
- Pull the filter. A packed filter can overheat the furnace and trip its limit switch.
- Check that the lower door on the furnace is fully seated. An open door cuts power on purpose.
- On a high-efficiency furnace, look at the white plastic drain line. A kink or a full trap can shut the burners down.
Still cold? Write down any blinking light pattern on the control board and call. Our furnace won't turn on guide walks through each step with pictures.
Signs your furnace needs a technician
- The draft fan starts, then everything stops before the burners light.
- Clicking at startup with no flame, or the furnace tries three times and locks out.
- Air from the registers is cool during a heating cycle.
- The furnace runs for a few minutes, shuts off, then starts again (short cycling).
- One room or one floor never catches up, even with the doors open.
- A burning, electrical or rotten-egg smell. Treat a gas odor as a safety issue first.
- Bangs, squeals or rattles that are new this season.
- Higher Cascade or PSE bills with no change in how you use the house.
Damp Kitsap winters keep a furnace running for long stretches from October to April, so small faults such as a weak ignitor or a dirty flame sensor tend to show up on the first cold week.

Repair or replace your furnace?
One failed part on a furnace under about 15 years old is usually worth fixing. An older furnace that has needed several repairs, or one with a cracked heat exchanger, deserves a replacement price before you spend on a big repair. The $5,000 rule (age times repair cost) is a quick way to decide when to compare.
If you do replace a gas furnace, Cascade Natural Gas pays $1,600 for a 95% AFUE furnace and $2,400 for 98% AFUE, plus $150 for a qualifying thermostat and $1,000 for duct sealing, on installs from March 15, 2026, in homes heated mainly by gas (Cascade 2026 to 2027 rebate list). Home Comfort Alliance is on Cascade Natural Gas's contractor list, and we handle the rebate paperwork for you. There is no rebate for a repair.
Replacement estimates are free; our instant HVAC quote gives a price range in about 30 seconds. Most furnace installations take between 4 and 10 hours. What you get with a replacement: a 3-year Comfort Shield labor warranty on new installations, kept active with yearly maintenance. First-year maintenance is included. See furnace replacement in Port Orchard.

Permits, county lines and utilities in Port Orchard
Port Orchard homes get electricity from Puget Sound Energy and natural gas from Cascade Natural Gas. Part of what people call Port Orchard sits outside city limits: Parkwood, Manchester, East Port Orchard and Bethel are unincorporated Kitsap County.
A part-only repair needs no permit. Replacing a furnace inside city limits needs a residential mechanical permit from the City of Port Orchard Permit Center, 216 Prospect Street, 360-876-4407, applied for online (city permit page). In unincorporated areas, Kitsap County's Department of Community Development handles mechanical permits online (Kitsap County permit guide). Electrical permits come from Washington L&I. We pull the required permits for every installation.
A recent Port Orchard no-heat call: the furnace was fine
In October a Port Orchard homeowner with a Carrier gas furnace called with no heat. On every call for heat the draft fan started, and then the whole system shut off.
Our technician bypassed the thermostat at the furnace control, and the furnace lit and heated normally. That pointed back to the thermostat, which was showing an error code for low batteries. With fresh batteries in, he ran the system through full heating cycles and confirmed it was working. No parts were needed, which is exactly why the thermostat check sits at the top of our list above.

Who should I call when my furnace stops working in Port Orchard?

Can a furnace technician come after hours?
Our phones are answered and bookings are accepted 24/7. 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.
Can you fix my furnace 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, you will know before the technician leaves.
What should I check before calling?
Check the thermostat mode and batteries, the air filter, the furnace switch and breaker, and that the lower furnace door is shut. If you smell gas, leave the house and call Cascade Natural Gas at 1-888-522-1130 and 911 from a safe place.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
A failed ignitor or dirty flame sensor, a clogged filter tripping the limit switch, or a thermostat fan set to ON are the usual causes. A diagnostic finds the actual fault before you pay for a part.
What is the $5,000 rule for a furnace?
It is a rule of thumb: multiply the furnace's age by the repair price. Above about $5,000, it is worth pricing a replacement before you repair. We give you the repair price first and a free replacement estimate if you ask.
Do I need a permit for furnace repair in Port Orchard?
Part-only repairs need no permit. Replacing a furnace inside city limits needs a City of Port Orchard mechanical permit; unincorporated addresses go through Kitsap County. We pull the required permits for every installation.
Are there rebates for furnace repair?
No. Cascade Natural Gas and PSE offer no repair rebate. If you replace a gas furnace, Cascade lists $1,600 for 95% AFUE and $2,400 for 98% AFUE for installs from March 15, 2026, and we handle the rebate paperwork for you.
Does a plumber fix a furnace?
No. A furnace is repaired by an HVAC technician. Home Comfort Alliance has heating technicians, plumbers and electricians, so one call covers all three trades.
Is Home Comfort Alliance licensed?
Yes. WA Contractor Reg. #HOMECCA785BD and WA Electrical Contractor Lic. #HOMECCA782DC. We are licensed, bonded and insured in Washington and a BBB Accredited Business since 2002.
