Since 1967, families have trusted Spencer Heating and Air to keep them warm through Alabama winters.
That’s not a marketing claim—that’s decades of being the neighbor who shows up when it’s cold outside. We’ve seen every kind of furnace problem and know how to fix them right.
We’re authorized to service and install American Standard furnace systems.
This dealer status means you get genuine parts, factory-backed warranties, and the technical expertise that comes from working directly with the manufacturer.
Winter heating doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule.
When your furnace fails on a freezing night, we work to restore heat to your home quickly—not someday, but today.
We don’t replace furnaces we can repair, and we don’t patch systems that need replacement.
Every service call starts with thorough inspection and testing—you’ll know exactly what’s wrong before we suggest a fix.
AL License #13038 combined with our technician certifications means professional, code-compliant service.
Your furnace gets professional service from people who know what they’re doing. We’re not a national franchise or a call center in another state—we’re local and invested in your home’s comfort.
Spencer Heating and Air handles everything from routine repairs to full system installations. Pick the service that matches your situation.
Your furnace stopped working, or it’s running but not heating. We come out, diagnose the problem—whether it’s a failed blower motor, a cracked heat exchanger, a bad ignition control, or a thermostat issue—and present repair options that make sense for your budget and the age of your system.
What we do: If the repair cost approaches the price of replacement, we’ll walk you through that choice too.
Furnace problems don’t announce themselves until they stop your heating mid-winter. A professional tune-up before the season starts catches small issues before they become breakdowns.
What we do: We clean burners, test ignition, check heat exchanger integrity, inspect airflow, and verify that your system is running safe and efficient.
An old furnace running continuously, frequent repairs, or rising heating bills all point to replacement. When it’s time for a new furnace, proper sizing and installation matter as much as the equipment itself.
What we do: An undersized furnace struggles to heat your home; an oversized unit cycles too often and wastes fuel. We design and install it correctly.
A furnace heats air, but ductwork delivers it. Poor air distribution, dirty filters, or humidity issues all make your furnace work harder. Leaky ducts waste 20–40% of your heating before it reaches the room.
What we do: We test for leaks, seal gaps, and ensure proper airflow from furnace to every room.
Clogged furnace filters choke airflow and reduce efficiency. We install high-efficiency filters and air cleaning systems that protect both heating and indoor air quality.
What we do: Professional air filtration systems that work with your furnace to improve both comfort and air quality throughout your home.
A heat pump heats like a furnace but also cools in summer. For Alabama’s climate, a heat pump provides year-round comfort with one system.
What we do: Professional heat pump installation and service that gives you both heating and cooling efficiency in one system.
Professional diagnosis, transparent results, no guessing. Every Spencer furnace service follows the same methodical process — from the first call through the final system test.
When you call, we ask about when the problem started, the symptoms, any unusual sounds or smells, and recent system behavior. We confirm service area, give an arrival window, and advise if the system should stay off until we arrive for safety reasons.
Our technician inspects the furnace, heat exchanger, blower assembly, and ductwork connections — looking for obvious damage, leaks, corrosion, or signs of electrical problems. This visual inspection often narrows the possibilities before testing begins.
Voltage and amperage at the blower and ignition system. Gas pressure and flame characteristics. Airflow measurements across filters and through ductwork. Thermostat calibration and control board function. The numbers identify the fault.
We explain what is wrong and what the repair costs. We show you the test data so the diagnosis makes sense, and walk through repair vs. replacement options — especially for systems past 15 years.
With approval, most issues are fixed same day. If a part needs ordering, we put a rush on it and schedule the callback. Every repair ends with a full cycle test — ignition, heating, airflow — before we leave.
Our maintenance members enjoy priority scheduling, consistent system performance, and the confidence that comes from knowing a trained professional is keeping an eye on their equipment throughout the year.

Professional tune-ups should happen every fall, before the heating season starts. This catches problems before cold weather arrives and your furnace runs daily. If you’ve skipped maintenance, schedule it before winter—don’t wait for a breakdown.
A complete tune-up inspects the burner assembly and ignition system, checks the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion, tests the blower motor and airflow, cleans filters, verifies thermostat accuracy, and checks all electrical connections for safety. We confirm your furnace is running at manufacturer specifications.
Most furnaces last 15–20 years with regular maintenance. Gas furnaces can stretch longer if they receive annual tune-ups and filter changes. If yours is 18+ years old and you’ve had recent repairs, replacement often makes financial sense—newer furnaces are 10–15% more efficient.
Several causes: a broken blower motor, a clogged filter, a thermostat set too low, a cracked heat exchanger (unsafe—stop using it), or a fuel supply problem. We diagnose which one and explain your options.
Pricing depends on the size of your system, ductwork changes needed, and any upgrades (efficiency rating, smart thermostat). We discuss the full investment during your consultation and offer financing through Wells Fargo to make replacement accessible.
Yes. Furnaces that receive annual tune-ups, filter changes, and inspections run more efficiently, last longer, and are less likely to fail during peak heating season. The tune-up cost pays for itself in fuel savings and avoided unexpected repairs.
If repair costs less than 50% of a new system and your furnace is under 15 years old, repair is usually the choice. Beyond that, you’re paying for an older, less efficient unit. A newer furnace heats better, uses less fuel, and comes with a warranty—often the better investment.
Banging sounds might indicate a cracked heat exchanger (stop using it—this is a safety issue). Rattling could be loose ductwork or a debris-filled burner. Squealing usually means a blower motor bearing is failing. None of these are normal—have them inspected promptly.
Yes. Seal ductwork leaks, replace filters monthly, clean return air vents, and have the burner cleaned annually. For significant gains, a heat pump replacement or a high-efficiency furnace upgrade cuts fuel use 15–30%.
A programmable or smart thermostat saves fuel by reducing heating when you’re away or sleeping. Combined with proper furnace maintenance, a smart thermostat cuts heating costs 10–15% annually—it pays for itself in a few years.
