Furnace flame sensor replacement across northeast Tennessee is available when your furnace shuts down shortly after ignition or fails to light altogether. ThermoSTAT Heating & Cooling provides fast diagnosis and replacement to restore your heating system.
A dirty or failing flame sensor is one of the most common reasons a gas furnace trips or cycles off repeatedly. This small component sits near the burner assembly and detects whether the flame is present. When it fails, your furnace assumes no flame and shuts off the gas valve for safety.
Posted on Lisa Russ2025-10-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Matt for his exceptional service. He exceeded his responsibilities by adding a heat pump to my home purchase. Without prior acquaintance, he took the initiative to visit the property and assess the job requirements. On the same day, he contacted me to confirm that he could complete the task within a few hours, providing a reasonable price. I was delighted not only by the affordability but also by his ability to schedule the work for the following week. After searching for a month for someone to undertake this project, I encountered numerous companies unwilling to travel to my area. However, Matt not only accepted the job but also executed it with remarkable skill and efficiency, all while keeping costs manageable. I wholeheartedly recommend him and his company to anyone seeking honesty, quality workmanship, and a customer-first approach. Thank you, Matt, for your outstanding support "Lisa Russ"Posted on Brianne Hess2025-10-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt and his team are amazing!

Matt has faith in his units, and I have faith in Matt.Posted on Josiah Name2025-09-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scheduling was very simple and the person organizing dispatch was courteous. The technician was professional in appearance and behavior. Initially we had scheduled for an annual maintenance which was quoted at $199 but as it turned out we were having problems with our evaporator coil freezing so that was reduced to a diagnostic service call for only $80; that was my mistake for scheduling it as an annual checkup as opposed to a service call so I don't know that the tech was prepared to do cleaning and/or repairs. He did inspect the equipment however, after finding our return vents suboptimal are evaporator coil clogged and potentially a bad capacitor and dirty fan blades and our outdoor condenser was reportedly " very loud but in operable condition with no leaks in the system" he was adamant that we either spend several thousand dollars having them clean the air handler and replacing some maintenance Parts such as the capacitor, cleaning the fan, and replacing the evaporator coil which involves evacuating the coolant, cutting out the evaporator coil from the copper lines and resetting a new evaporator coil in its place. Alternatively we were offered the option to replace the outdoor condenser and the indoor Handler with some modifications being made to the ductwork to improve return air for approximately $9,000. I disassembled the air handler and cleaned the fan and had a technician from another local company come out and look at the system. they disassembled and cleaned the evaporator coil without having to cut the lines and then rechecked the pressures at the condenser and found the improvements in aiflow had raised pressures at the condenser and solved our freezing problem, he also took the time to evaluate our duct work and while not optimal for an older house the system setup is quite common and should be more than sufficient for the requirements of the air handler furthermore they offered to help us find appropriate filters for the returns to prevent the evaporator coil from getting clogged in the future and advised on appropriate filters to use at the air handler. they evaluated the condenser and found that it was no louder than normal and in good working order. How *long* it stays working... we'll see EDIT: after having a discussion with the owner Matt, I understand his point of view about wanting to remove the coil to clean it to prevent potential liability for damage to the lines that looked likely to occur. The options that he gave us a replacing components versus replacing the entire system were reasonable and allowed us to pick from within our interests and budget. It was not high pressure sales pitch or anything like that. but as always folks, if money is tight a second opinion on such a big project never hurts.Posted on Kristopher Herring2025-09-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Excellent service from TH&C! Our A/C wasn't working when we arrived at Norris Lake and had guests for the weekend. Matt took the time on a Saturday to get our A/C working. Highly recommend.
Our technician starts by checking your furnace for error codes and testing the flame sensor directly. A multimeter measures whether the sensor is receiving the proper signal while the flame is present.
If the sensor shows corrosion, carbon buildup, or an inconsistent signal, we clean the sensor with fine steel wool and test it again. Many times, a thorough cleaning fixes the problem without needing a full replacement.
When cleaning does not resolve the issue, we install a new flame sensor matched to your furnace model. The old sensor unplugs from the wiring harness, and the new unit slides into the same bracket position. We then reassemble the burner assembly, restore gas flow, and run the furnace through multiple heating cycles to confirm stable flame confirmation.
For systems where the flame sensor failure points to a larger ignition issue, we may recommend inspecting the furnace igniter at the same time. Replacing both components during a single visit prevents a repeat service call a few months down the road. Similarly, if your furnace has been cycling excessively, our technician checks the furnace blower motor to ensure it is moving air properly after the flame sensor restores normal ignition.
For gas furnace repair involving flame sensor issues, we verify the gas pressure and manifold operation to rule out valve or supply problems before considering the repair complete.
