Heating & Boiler Repair in Sylvania, OH
Many Sylvania homes still rely on older heating layouts that were common when much of the area was developed. We regularly work on homes with boilers, older furnace systems, baseboard heat, and ductwork that has been modified over multiple remodels and additions over the years. Around neighborhoods near Corey Road and Erie Street, it is common to see homes where certain rooms stay colder than others because airflow was never properly balanced after additions or finished basements were completed.
Bluflame provides:
- Emergency heating repair
- Heating maintenance
- Furnace repair and replacement
- Boiler repair and installation
- Heat pump services
- Heat pump repair
- Heat pump replacement
- Heat pump maintenance

One of the biggest problems we see during Sylvania winters is equipment that technically still runs but struggles to keep up during stretches of below-freezing temperatures. In many cases, homeowners notice rising utility bills, cold spots upstairs, or systems running nonstop before the equipment finally fails completely.
Air Conditioning & Cooling Services in Sylvania, OH
Cooling problems throughout Sylvania often show up during humid summer stretches when systems struggle to keep larger homes evenly comfortable. Homes with vaulted ceilings, sunrooms, finished lower levels, or older duct systems can develop major temperature differences from one floor to another.
Bluflame offers:
- Air conditioning repair
- Emergency AC repair
- AC maintenance
- AC replacement
- Heat pumps

Our technicians take the time to explain what condition your plumbing system is actually in so you can make informed decisions without unnecessary pressure.
Indoor Air Quality & Ductwork Services in Sylvania, OH
Comfort inside the home is about more than temperature alone. Many Sylvania homeowners call us because the house feels dusty, dry during winter, humid during summer, or difficult to keep consistently comfortable from room to room.
Bluflame installs and services:

Job Locations and Reviews
Performed annual tune-up on a 1-year-old gas furnace, inspecting the ignition system and flame sensor and checking internal wiring and connections for condition. Measured supply air temperature at the register (approximately 126°F) to verify proper heat output, and found no signs of rust, ice, or component damage.
Installed a complete HVAC system consisting of an AHRI-matched 97% two-stage upflow gas furnace with variable-speed blower, cased evaporator coil with a metal 5" filter rack, and a two-stage condenser relocated 3' from the electrical meter on a new pad with a new 7/8" x 25' lineset, disconnect, and whip. Added a 17-gallon humidifier tied into the supply trunk and an M-40 thermostat, and replaced the water heater with a 50-gallon unit with a new expansion tank and bracket. Removed the existing air scrubber/wash unit.
Performed a full tune-up on an 8-year-old gas furnace, including removal and inspection of the flame sensor, which showed tarnish and discoloration consistent with oxidation buildup. Conducted a flue gas combustion analysis with a Testo 310 II, recording a stack temperature of 95.1°F, O2 at 8.2%, CO at 24 ppm (39 ppm air-free), CO2 at 7.18%, and combustion efficiency of 95.5%. Results confirmed the unit is operating within safe, efficient parameters.
Performed an on-site assessment of the existing Trane vertical gas furnace/air handler installed in a closet configuration to evaluate it for replacement. Documented the unit's current condition, supply/return ductwork connections, PVC condensate drain and vent piping, electrical conduit and disconnect, and surrounding clearances, and noted the access and housekeeping conditions in the closet that will need attention before installation. Gathered the information needed to prepare a furnace replacement estimate.
Performed a diagnostic evaluation on a 20-year-old gas furnace reporting short cycling of the blower fan while heating output remained normal. Inspected the burner compartment, flame sight port, vent connector, and gas valve assembly, noting dust and light surface corrosion near the flue connection. Evaluated blower and limit control operation to identify the cause of the short cycling condition.
Performed a full tune-up and combustion analysis on a 20-year-old natural gas furnace. Initial combustion readings showed elevated CO (50 ppm, 135 ppm air-free) and excess air of 151%, with 1.80 inH2O manifold pressure. After adjustment, final readings improved to 27 ppm CO (57 ppm air-free), 98.5% excess air, 3.47 inH2O manifold pressure, and 95.1% efficiency, confirming safe and proper operation.
Completed inspection corrections by replacing non-compliant cellular-core furnace intake and exhaust venting with Schedule 40 PVC piping per manufacturer specifications, properly supported with strap hangers along the joists. Photos confirm the venting correction; the water heater item (missing cover at the base of the unit) is noted in the work order, but no photo documentation of that repair was provided.
Replaced the deteriorated rubber condensate boot connecting the intake and exhaust piping on the Lennox furnace, securing the new coupling to the inducer assembly with hose clamps. Verified a tight, leak-free seal to restore proper venting and condensate drainage.
Diagnosed an intermittent pilot gas valve on the furnace and, on the return visit after the initial replacement part proved defective, installed a new pilot gas valve and reconnected the associated wiring and gas fittings. Verified proper pilot ignition, valve operation, and furnace startup, confirming the heating system is functioning as designed.
Performed a seasonal AC tune-up on a 4-year-old system, including inspection of the electrical control compartment, where the run capacitor, contactor, and wiring were found coated in dust and cobwebs. Cleaned the condenser coil, which had heavy matted debris and grass clippings restricting airflow, and verified system operation to support manufacturer warranty maintenance requirements.
Performed scheduled maintenance on a 20-year-old natural gas furnace, including inspection of the gas valve, inducer blower assembly, wiring, and venting components with no visible damage, rust, or leaks noted. Conducted combustion analysis with a calibrated analyzer and manometer, recording 92.6% efficiency, 4.98% CO₂, 12.1% O₂, 7 ppm CO (17 ppm air-free), 98.8°F stack temperature, and 3.50 inH₂O differential pressure. Results indicate the furnace is operating safely and within normal parameters.
Installed a complete Lennox split gas system consisting of a 17 SEER 4-ton 2-stage condenser, a 97% AFUE 110 kBtu 2-stage upflow furnace, and a 4-ton upflow cased evaporator coil, with the furnace leveled and a required metal 5" filter rack. Set the new condenser on a new equipment pad, ran a new 7/8" x 50' lineset, and installed a new disconnect and whip, with PVC condensate and venting terminating through the exterior wall. Completed the installation with a new Lennox M-40 Wi-Fi thermostat.
Performed a full tune-up on a 15-year-old gas furnace, including removal of the front panel and inspection of the burner assembly, inducer and pressure switch, wiring harness, and venting. Used a digital multimeter to test electrical components and a probe thermometer to verify temperature readings, noting light rust and soot discoloration around the burner area and manifold. Verified overall system operation after service.
Responded to a no-shutoff blower complaint on an approximately 40-year-old furnace and inspected the control board, relays, low-voltage terminal connections (C, R, W, GH), and wiring harness within the opened blower compartment. Noted dust and debris accumulation inside the cabinet and a loose ring-terminal wire that should be addressed as part of diagnosing the fan control issue. Further repair or replacement of the board/relay components is recommended given the unit's age.
Responded to a no-heat call on a 19-year-old gas furnace and inspected the control module and wiring in the equipment cabinet, noting heavy corrosion on the adjacent iron gas piping and fittings and general wear on the cabinet panels. Diagnosed the cause of the heat failure at the furnace control assembly and restored system operation, then verified proper ignition and heat output. Recommended monitoring the aging unit and corroded gas piping for future replacement.
Performed annual heating tune-up on a three-year-old gas furnace, inspecting the draft inducer assembly, pressure switches, vent piping, condensate/drain hoses, wiring connections, and control board. All components were found in good condition with no signs of damage, corrosion, or wear, and the system was verified to be operating properly with no issues identified.
Evaluated the existing gas furnace and associated components for replacement, including the upright furnace with PVC venting and condensate/humidifier assembly, the galvanized supply ductwork, and the attic/closet air handler with refrigerant lines, filter drier, and foil-faced insulation. Documented equipment condition, venting and drain configurations, and site access conditions to determine scope for furnace replacement and ensure proper sizing and compatibility with existing duct and refrigerant systems.
Responded to a no-heat call on a 10+ year old gas furnace that was short cycling and not producing heat. Inspection of the burner compartment revealed irregular combustion with orange and yellow flame tips, sooting, light rust, and dust and debris buildup on the burners and surrounding components, indicating restricted airflow and incomplete combustion likely causing the limit-related short cycling. Documented the findings with photos and recommended burner cleaning and combustion analysis, with further evaluation of the heat exchanger and flue draft to restore safe, reliable operation.
Installed a new 96% AFUE, 90,000 BTU upflow high-efficiency furnace, completing the gas and electrical connections and replacing approximately 30 feet of 2" venting with new PVC routed to the condensate drain. Leveled the unit, tied it into the existing ductwork, and installed a new thermostat, with the furnace covered by a 10-year parts and labor warranty.
Performed seasonal maintenance on a 15-year-old gas furnace, including inspection of the burner assembly and heat exchanger compartment for visible signs of corrosion, cracking, or damage, with none observed. Replaced the 16x25x1 return air filter, which showed light dust and discoloration, and verified electrical components with a multimeter to confirm proper furnace operation.
