Pennsylvania winters don't mess around, and a broken furnace can turn your home from comfortable to dangerous in a matter of hours. Axel Mechanical Services provides fast, dependable furnace repair throughout Lancaster, York, Lebanon, and Dauphin Counties. Whether your furnace won't ignite, is blowing cold air, or is making sounds it shouldn't be, our technicians will track down the issue and get your heat restored.
We work on gas furnaces, oil furnaces, electric furnaces, and dual-fuel systems from all major manufacturers. Our team carries the most common replacement parts on every service truck, which means most furnace repairs are completed in a single visit - no waiting days for a part to arrive while your family shivers.
No heat, weak heat, short cycling, strange smells, or unusual noises - we diagnose and repair all types of furnace problems. Our technicians check ignition systems, heat exchangers, blower motors, thermostats, and gas valves to find exactly what's wrong and fix it properly.
If your furnace is 15-25 years old and costing you in repairs, a new high-efficiency unit can lower your heating bills significantly. We'll size your new furnace correctly, handle the full installation including venting and gas lines, and make sure it's running safely before we leave.
The time to find out your furnace has a problem is in October, not January. Our fall tune-ups include a heat exchanger inspection for cracks, burner cleaning, thermocouple testing, filter replacement, and a carbon monoxide safety check. A small investment now prevents big headaches later.
A furnace that dies on a 10-degree night is more than an inconvenience - it's a safety concern, especially if you have young children or elderly family members. Call us at (717) 342-6382 for emergency furnace repair. We respond quickly to restore heat to your home.
When your furnace breaks down in the dead of winter, you need a company that answers the phone, shows up fast, and knows exactly what they're doing. That's exactly what you get with Axel Mechanical.

A well-maintained gas furnace typically lasts 15-20 years, while oil furnaces may last 15-25 years. Factors like usage, maintenance frequency, and installation quality all affect lifespan. If your furnace is approaching these ages and needing more frequent repairs, it's worth having us evaluate whether replacement makes financial sense.
It depends on the noise. Banging can indicate delayed ignition or expanding ductwork. Squealing often means a worn belt or bearing. Rattling could be loose panels or components. A loud boom when the furnace kicks on is a sign of dirty burners and should be checked promptly. When in doubt, turn the furnace off and call us - it's better to be safe.
Yes, absolutely. Annual maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive emergency repairs. It also keeps your system running efficiently, which saves money on heating bills. Plus, most manufacturer warranties require proof of annual maintenance to remain valid. We recommend scheduling your tune-up in early fall before the cold weather arrives.
If your furnace is under 15 years old and the repair is straightforward, fixing it usually makes sense. But if you're facing a cracked heat exchanger, a failed blower motor on an older unit, or repairs that cost more than half a new system, replacement is often the smarter investment. New furnaces can be 95%+ efficient, which means real savings on your gas bill every winter.
Don't wait for the first cold snap to find out your furnace needs attention. Whether you need a repair, a fall tune-up, or want to discuss replacing your aging system, give us a call or request service online. We'll keep your home warm and safe all winter long.
