When winter settles into Central Kentucky, you want to know your furnace will turn on every time. Cold snaps in Lexington, Elsmere, and the surrounding towns can show up without warning, and when that happens, your heating system shifts from being a convenience to something your home depends on. Fayette Heating and Air has served this area since 1971. With certified technicians and a full range of furnace services, we help homeowners stay warm, safe, and prepared all winter long.
Fast and Safe Furnace Repair When You Need It Most
Furnace problems usually show up at the worst moment. The house feels colder than normal, or the system starts making a sound you have never heard before. Whatever the issue is, our team is ready to help.
When to call for furnace repair:
No heat. The furnace will not turn on or keeps shutting off during a cold spell.
Strange noises. Banging, rattling, or screeching from the unit.
System lockout. The furnace cycles on and off repeatedly.
Ignition problems. The pilot light or burner refuses to ignite.
When you call, we send a technician as quickly as possible. Your tech checks the furnace, explains the issue clearly, and provides an upfront diagnosis. Repairs are made using quality parts and strong workmanship so you can feel confident and warm again.
Another factor to consider is the type of furnace you buy. Gas furnaces in Kentucky are among the most energy efficient, but not all homes have gas connections. Electric furnaces are also very effective, so if gas is not available, this is usually your best option. In selecting a furnace, you will also need to select one with energy efficiency that meets your needs. Gas furnaces have AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings of up to 98% meaning they use almost all of the fuel they consume for heat. For higher rated furnaces, however, you will often need to upgrade your flue liner and some other components of your home’s ventilation system.
Is it Time to Repair or Replace Your Furnace?
A repair is often enough, but replacement becomes the better choice when certain patterns show up.
The age factor. Furnaces older than 15 years often lose efficiency and require more repairs.
The 50 percent rule. If the repair cost is more than half the cost of a new unit, replacement may offer greater long term value.
Breakdown frequency. If you are calling for repairs every winter, that money may be better put toward a new system.
Efficiency versus cost. A modern furnace with a strong Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency rating, or AFUE, can lower utility bills and improve comfort. The AFUE rating represents the percentage of fuel that is converted into usable heat for your home, with the remaining percentage being wasted energy, typically escaping up the chimney.
If you are unsure, we can walk you through your options so you can choose the best path forward for your home.

Protect Your Investment with Annual Furnace Maintenance
A furnace works hard during winter, and regular maintenance helps keep it performing well. Tune-ups help avoid surprise breakdowns, support safe operation, and extend the life of your equipment.
The value of a tune-up:
- Helps prevent mid-season failures
• Supports safe heating operation, including carbon monoxide checks
• Maintains manufacturer warranty requirements
• Lowers energy bills by improving efficiency
Key maintenance steps include:
- Cleaning inside the furnace
• Running full safety checks
• Adjusting the burner assembly
