24/7 Emergency Furnace Repair
At Len The Plumber Heating & Air, your safety is our priority. We understand the urgency of addressing furnace malfunctions, especially when they pose potential dangers like carbon monoxide leaks, fire hazards, and poor air quality.
That’s why we provide reliable heating repairs. Our dedicated team is on standby 24/7 to respond to emergencies, ensuring a prompt resolution to restore your home’s safety and comfort.
Signs you need furnace repair include:
- Unusual noises: Banging, clanging, and squealing are indicators that your furnace may have mechanical issues.

Furnace Installation & Replacement for Northern Virginia Homes
Maximize your home’s comfort and safety with professional heating installation and replacement.
Furnaces become less efficient and more prone to breakdowns as they age. Proactive replacement before a complete breakdown ensures uninterrupted heating and allows you to upgrade to a more energy-efficient model.
Our furnace replacement process ensures a seamless service experience. Here’s what you can expect:
- System assessment: We’ll inspect your current unit to determine if replacement is the best option.
- System selection: We provide personalized system recommendations, considering your home size, budget, and efficiency goals.
- Removal of your current unit: We’ll disconnect and safely dispose of your old furnace.
- Installation: Our skilled technicians will place your new system and ensure proper electrical and fuel connections.
- Testing: We’ll run a test cycle to ensure optimal furnace operation.
Gas vs. Electric Furnaces
While electric and gas furnaces are both popular choices, here’s how they compare:
- Installation cost: Gas furnaces often cost more to buy and install than electric furnaces.
- Operation cost: Electricity costs more than natural gas in Northern Virginia, resulting in higher utility bills.
- System life span: Gas furnaces have a life span of 15 to 20 years, while electric furnaces may last for 20 years or more.
- Maintenance: Both systems require annual maintenance to ensure superior performance during the cold season.
- Safety: Gas furnaces produce carbon monoxide because the system combusts fuel. While they’re safe if regularly maintained, electric furnaces are ultimately safer.
- Energy efficiency: Electric furnaces are the most environmentally friendly option because they use an electric heating element instead of the fuel combustion required by gas furnaces.
