Symptoms First
No Heat? Triage Beats Guessing Every Time
Start simple: check the thermostat is set to heat and above room temperature, confirm the filter is not clogged, and look for a tripped breaker or a furnace switch turned off. If you smell gas, hear repeated clicking with no heat, or the system runs but blows cold air, stop there and call. Those are the faults that need testing, not more restarts.
When we get a call about no heat in La Vergne, the first question is what kind of system you have, because a gas furnace and a heat pump fail in different ways on the same cold night. Rutherford County cold snaps in the 20s push both hard across 37086, and homes near the Stones River bottoms feel those overnight lows first. Knowing the equipment type before we arrive saves a full diagnostic step.
- Thermostat calls for heat but nothing starts
- System runs and blows cold or lukewarm air
- Repeated clicking, starting, then shutting down
- Heat works upstairs but not downstairs, or the reverse
- Burning smell, banging, or rattling at startup
- Heat pump outdoor unit iced over and not defrosting
- Auxiliary heat running constantly with high bills
- No heat during an overnight freeze in I-24 corridor homes
How We Fix It
How We Triage and Repair Heating Problems
Furnace or heat pump, the order is the same: controls and safety first, then ignition or heat source, then airflow, then the repair.
Confirm controls and safety
We check the thermostat, breakers, switches, and safety controls. A surprising share of no-heat calls end here, and we are glad when they do.
Identify the heat source fault
For furnaces we test ignition and flame sensing. For heat pumps we check the reversing valve, defrost, and auxiliary heat. The test follows your equipment, not a script.
Check airflow and distribution
We inspect the filter, blower, and duct delivery. Heat that is made but not delivered still feels like no heat in the far bedrooms.
Repair and heat test
We fit the confirmed part and run a full heat cycle, measuring vent temperatures room to room before we leave.
Why Homeowners Call Us
Why La Vergne Calls Us for Heating Repair
Right test for your system
We do not run a furnace checklist on a heat pump home. The diagnosis matches your equipment, which is why the first repair is usually the right one.
Safety before speed
Gas ignition and heat exchanger concerns get checked before any restart advice. Cold is miserable, but unsafe heat is worse, and we never trade one for the other.
Cold snap honesty
During a Rutherford County freeze, we tell you plainly where your call sits and what to do in the meantime, including safe backup heat guidance.
Repair or monitor, your call
A weak part that still tests within range gets reported as a watch item, not sold as an emergency. You decide with the readings in front of you.

Heating Symptoms: What They Usually Point To
This page covers all heating types on purpose. Find your symptom, see the likely direction, then use the linked furnace or heat pump page for deeper detail.
| What You Notice | System It Fits | Likely Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Clicking, no ignition, then shutdown | Gas furnace | Ignitor, flame sensor, or gas valve testing needed |
| Blows cold air in heat mode | Heat pump or furnace | Reversing valve or ignition fault, test the heat source |
| Outdoor unit covered in ice | Heat pump | Defrost cycle or refrigerant issue, do not chip the ice off |
| Aux heat light always on, bills spiking | Heat pump | Heat pump not carrying the load, auxiliary heat compensating |
| Heat made, far rooms still cold | Any system | Duct leak, blower, or airflow problem in attic or crawlspace |

We repair heating across ZIP 37086 in Rutherford County, from Veterans Memorial Park neighborhoods to homes along Old Nashville Hwy. Winter demand spikes fast here, and Percy Priest Lake wind makes lakeside homes feel coldest first, so early calls on a cold morning matter.
Heritage Valley
Established homes from the mid 1990s near Murfreesboro Rd and I-24, where many original heating and cooling systems are now well past midlife. No-heat calls here often involve systems that sat idle through a long cooling season, so first-start faults in fall are common.
Cedar Grove
Homes near Stones River Rd and the Stones River corridor, with a mix of ranch layouts and crawlspace ductwork. No-heat calls here often involve systems that sat idle through a long cooling season, so first-start faults in fall are common.
Woodland Hills
Larger wooded lots and established homes, where bonus rooms and additions often heat and cool differently from the main house. No-heat calls here often involve systems that sat idle through a long cooling season, so first-start faults in fall are common.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check before calling for heating repair?
Confirm the thermostat is on heat and set above room temperature, check the filter, and make sure the furnace switch and breaker are on. If it still will not heat, or you smell gas, call us.
Do you repair both furnaces and heat pumps?
Yes. This page is the starting point for any no-heat call in La Vergne, and we carry the testing approach for gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pumps with auxiliary heat.
Why is my heating system blowing cold air?
On a furnace, that usually means ignition failed and only the blower is running. On a heat pump, it can mean a reversing valve or defrost problem. Either way, the heat source needs testing.
What if my heat stops at night or on a weekend?
Call the 24/7 emergency line. No heat with freezing overnight temperatures in 37086 counts as urgent, especially with kids, older adults, or pets in the home.
Is a burning smell at startup always dangerous?
A brief dusty smell on the first run of the season is common. A smell that persists, or any gas odor, is not. Turn the system off and call before running it again.
Should I repair or replace my heating system?
Age, safety, and repair history decide it. A sound system with one failed part is a repair. An older system with a safety fault or repeated winter failures deserves the replacement comparison.
