Overview

Heat Back On — Usually the Same Visit

When a North Louisiana cold snap rolls in and the furnace quits, you don't want a runaround — you want the licensed crew you already trust to show up, find the real problem, and fix it. Mark Johnson & Sons has kept homes warm across Ruston, Monroe, West Monroe, Shreveport, Bossier City, and Grambling since 1997, and we repair every major gas and electric furnace brand: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, American Standard, Bryant, and Amana.

Most no-heat calls come down to a handful of parts. A dirty flame sensor or a cracked hot-surface igniter kills ignition; a failed blower capacitor or motor stops air from moving; a tripped high-limit switch, a bad gas valve, a failing inducer, or a corroded control board locks the furnace out on safety. Our trucks carry the common ones, so the majority of repairs finish in a single visit — flat-rate, quoted before we start, service call waived when you do the repair.

What we repair

  • Ignition faults — flame sensors, hot-surface and spark igniters, pilot assemblies
  • Airflow problems — blower motors, run capacitors, and control boards
  • Gas & safety controls — gas valves, pressure switches, high-limit and flame-rollout switches, inducer motors
  • Thermostat & wiring faults — dead, miswired, or short-cycling thermostats
  • Heat exchangers — inspected on every no-heat call for carbon-monoxide cracks

Repair vs. replace

If your furnace is under about 12 years old and the repair runs less than a third of a replacement, fixing it is almost always the smart money. Once a unit is 15+ years old, breaking down every season, or showing a cracked heat exchanger, replacement usually wins — the repeat repairs and the fuel a worn furnace wastes add up faster than most people expect. We give you the honest math and a flat-rate quote on both, with zero pressure to buy a system you don't need.

What Mark Johnson & Sons does differently

Every tech is on our payroll — no subcontractors — and every quote is flat-rate, based on the job, not an hourly meter running while we diagnose. We answer live 24/7, and no-heat calls during a hard freeze get priority dispatch. Ask about our service savings agreement plans: from $189/year, covering a Fall heating tune-up and a Spring AC tune-up, 15% off every repair, and front-of-line scheduling on the freezing nights when everyone else is calling too.

Warning signs

Signs your furnace needs a repair

Catch these early and a small fix stays small. Ignore them and you risk a no-heat night.

  • No heat, or air blowing cold when the thermostat calls for heat

  • Furnace short cycles — turns on and off every few minutes

  • Loud banging, screeching, grinding, or rattling when it fires up

  • Burner flame is yellow or flickering instead of steady blue

  • Rotten-egg or burning smell (shut it off and call right away)

  • Heating bills jumped with no change in the weather

  • The blower runs constantly or never comes on at all

  • Furnace clicks and tries to light but won't catch

  • System keeps tripping the breaker when it starts

The Process

How we handle a furnace repair

Technician testing furnace components with a multimeter

On the truck

Professional tools, parts, and diagnostics — every call.

  1. Live phone triage

    A real person answers 24/7, gets your symptoms, and books the first available slot — priority for no-heat calls.

  2. Full diagnostic

    We check ignition, flame sensor, gas pressure, blower, capacitor, limit and safety controls — and confirm the actual cause, not a guess.

  3. Flat-rate quote up front

    You get the price before we touch a tool. If it's a safety issue like a cracked heat exchanger, we show you and explain your options.

  4. Repair on the spot

    Common parts are on the truck, so most repairs finish the same visit. We test the full heat cycle before we leave.

  5. Safety verification

    We confirm clean ignition, proper airflow, and safe operation, and leave your system running the way it should.
