Furnace Repair in Schaumburg, IL

Leith Heating and Cooling delivers that standard on every call in Schaumburg.

How We Helped a Schaumburg Homeowner on a Cold Weekend

A Schaumburg homeowner called us on a Saturday morning in December after his furnace had stopped producing heat the night before. His 1998-era furnace had a failed hot surface igniter — one of the most common failures in systems of that vintage. Our technician replaced the igniter, tested ignition through multiple startup cycles, and confirmed consistent heat before leaving. The repair was completed before noon with no second visit required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do 1980s furnaces last in Schaumburg homes?
Many 1980s furnaces in Schaumburg have already exceeded their expected 20-year service life. Those still operating often require more frequent repairs as components become harder to source. We will assess yours honestly and tell you whether continued repair makes financial sense.
A failed control board can cause intermittent heat loss, a furnace that starts and immediately shuts off, or a complete no-heat condition. The board manages ignition sequencing, blower timing, and safety circuit monitoring. Replacement typically restores normal operation.
It depends on the repair cost versus replacement cost and the system’s current condition. If the repair is relatively minor and the system has been maintained, it may buy several more years. We will give you honest numbers for both options and let you decide.

Yes. We work in condo and townhome properties throughout Schaumburg. We are familiar with horizontal or closet-mounted furnace configurations common in these units and can service all major system types found in the area.

Verify the thermostat is set to heat, the filter is not completely blocked, and the furnace circuit breaker is not tripped. If the furnace is making noise, running but not heating, or showing an error code on the display, call a technician — those require professional diagnosis.
