Furnace Repair & Maintenance in Memphis, TN
Licensed HVAC Service for Memphis Homeowners Since 2010
Memphis winters are short, but the hard freeze events that hit mid-season push heating systems to their limits, especially furnaces that sat idle for months. When a furnace fails at 11 p.m. on a January night, you need a team that answers the phone and arrives ready to work. Smith's Plumbing, Heating & Air has provided furnace repair and maintenance across the Memphis area since 2010, with licensed HVAC technicians, fully stocked service vans, and 24-hour availability for heating emergencies.
Our $59 dispatch fee is waived when the repair proceeds, so there’s no financial risk in having us come out for a diagnosis. We cover both gas and electric furnace systems, and our upfront pricing means you know what the repair costs before any work begins.

Comprehensive Furnace Diagnostics & Tune-Ups
Effective furnace care means addressing sudden failures and helping reduce the chance of another one. Our maintenance visits cover the full system: cleaning the heat exchanger and burner assembly, inspecting ignition components, monitoring flue draft, checking gas pressure, tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, and verifying safe system operation. Annual professional maintenance is also required by most furnace manufacturers to keep the warranty valid, so routine service supports both your comfort and your coverage.
“I called Smith's Plumbing, Heating & Air when my furnace would not start. They got it up and running. The price was reasonable, and the service was great. The people really made the difference.” - Joseph S.
Common Furnace Problems Memphis Homeowners Shouldn’t Ignore
Memphis furnaces often sit unused for six or more months before the first cold front arrives. That extended idle period can make ignition failures and blower problems more likely when the system finally kicks on. If your furnace is showing any of these signs, don’t wait for a complete shutdown:
- Short cycling: The system turns on and off without reaching the set temperature, usually pointing to airflow restrictions or thermostat calibration errors.
- Unusual noises: Rattling, banging, or squealing typically indicates loose mechanical parts, worn motor bearings, or, in older belt-drive systems, blower motor belt wear or failure.
- Cold air despite thermostat demand: The unit runs but delivers no heat, which often signals pilot light failure or ignition control problems.
- Rising energy bills: An unexplained spike in monthly costs usually means the furnace is working harder than it should due to dirty components or internal inefficiency.

Repair or Replace? How We Help You Decide
Not every furnace problem is worth repairing, and not every aging system needs immediate replacement. The right answer depends on factors your technician can evaluate during the diagnostic visit: age, condition, repair cost, and remaining useful life all factor into the recommendation.
When Repair Makes Sense
For systems under 10 years old with an isolated component failure, repair is generally the stronger choice. The core framework is simple: weigh what the repair costs against how much useful life the system has left. A well-maintained gas furnace may operate effectively for 15 to 20 years, so a reasonable repair on a younger system often makes financial sense.
When Replacement Is the Smarter Investment
For systems over 15 years old, particularly those with recurring breakdowns, a cracked heat exchanger, or confirmed carbon monoxide risks, replacement may be the better long-term investment. Our technicians can walk you through that comparison without pressure, so you can make the call that fits your home and your budget.
The Total Care Club: Annual Furnace Tune-Ups & Member Benefits
The Total Care Club is our preventative maintenance membership for homeowners who want to stay ahead of HVAC and plumbing issues rather than react to them. For furnace owners, membership includes an annual tune-up that covers the full system inspection most manufacturers require to keep your warranty intact and creates the documented service record to support warranty claims.
What the Annual Furnace Tune-Up Covers
Each tune-up targets the components most likely to fail or degrade between heating seasons: heat exchanger cleaning, burner assembly cleaning, ignition component inspection, flue draft monitoring, gas pressure check, electrical connection tightening, moving-parts lubrication, and safe system operation verification.
Member Benefits
Members pay no dispatch fee and no after-hours charges, receive 10% off all service repairs, and get priority emergency service when heating season tightens the schedule. Membership includes up to five visits per year across plumbing and HVAC. It’s a practical fit for homeowners who rely on both systems and want one team handling them.
Upfront Pricing & Flexible Financing
We provide upfront pricing on every job: no surprise fees and no hidden charges on the final bill. For homeowners facing larger repairs or system replacements, financing options are available to spread the cost across a payment plan that fits your budget. Seasonal discounts and maintenance agreements help lower the cost of routine care over time.
Schedule Memphis Furnace Service Before Cold Weather Hits
Minor furnace irregularities that seem manageable in October can become complete failures in January. Scheduling service before Memphis heating season peaks means your system gets diagnosed, tuned, and prepared for cold-weather operation before demand makes appointment windows tighter. We offer 24-hour availability for emergencies when you can’t wait, and financing options for repairs or replacements that exceed your immediate budget.
Don’t wait for a breakdown to find out your furnace isn’t ready. Call Smith's Plumbing, Heating & Air at (901) 290-1110 or reach out through our online form to schedule service today.

I am an extremely pleased customer!
"It started with Brock, a proficient, patient, helpful, thorough, and courteous representative of Smith’s Plumbing who arrived at scheduled time. With 3 bids on hand, after Brock responded to my questions on different brands of tankless, position of gas and water pipes, along with a competitive price, It was an EASY decision to have Smith’s Plumbing replacing my 2 tanks water heater with a Rinnai RSC 199 tankless! Respectful, pleasant, and skillful install crew, Cody and Eli along with roofer Scott, took great care to protect wood floor and extra careful with hauling equipment up and down the stairs. The tankless water heater was up and running prior to 5PM on the same day. Rest assured it was my first and surely not my last experience with Smith’s Plumbing as I am an extremely pleased customer!"- Magda F.![]()
