When a cold snap rolls down the Ohio River valley and your furnace decides to quit, you don’t have time to wait around. Darnold & Lyons has kept homes and businesses across Huntington and Cabell County warm for years, and our certified technicians are ready when you need them — including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Heating Repair You Can Count On
A lot of Huntington’s housing stock has been around for decades, especially in neighborhoods like Guyandotte, Westmoreland, and the older blocks near Marshall University. That often means heating systems that have seen better days — aging furnaces, original ductwork, and patched-together repairs from previous owners. We service all makes and models, so it doesn’t matter whether you’ve got a modern high-efficiency unit or a furnace that’s older than the house’s last coat of paint.
Our technicians are qualified, certified, and experienced in troubleshooting:
- Gas and propane furnaces
- Heat pumps
- Electric and forced-air systems
- Hot water heaters (we service and install those too)
We diagnose the real problem instead of guessing, give you honest up-front pricing, and get it fixed right the first time — backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
Don’t Ignore These Warning Signs
The damp, cold winters here are hard on heating equipment, and small issues tend to snowball. Call us if you notice any of the following:
- Uneven heating or cold rooms, even with the thermostat cranked up
- Short cycling — the furnace turning on and off rapidly
- A yellow or flickering burner flame instead of a steady blue one
- Banging, rattling, or grinding noises
- A spike in your heating bill with no change in usage
- Any burning or musty smell when the system kicks on
Carbon Monoxide: Worth Taking Seriously
Any combustion heating system can produce carbon monoxide, and a cracked heat exchanger or blocked vent can let it into your living space. This is especially worth keeping an eye on in older Huntington homes where the furnace, water heater, and ductwork may all be original. A standard CO detector helps, but detectors wear out — our seasonal tune-up tests CO levels directly and inspects the heat exchanger and venting so you’re not relying on a battery-powered alarm alone.
Heating Tune-Ups That Prevent Breakdowns
The cheapest repair is the one you never need. A yearly preventative tune-up catches worn parts before they fail on the coldest night of the year, keeps your system running efficiently, and extends its lifespan. Our tune-up includes inspecting the heat exchanger and burners, testing safety controls and CO levels, checking gas pressure and electrical connections, confirming pilot and flame-sensor operation, and cleaning the components that matter most.
