    Choose a company that specializes in the make of your furnace. Use the phone book, or ask a neighbour.

    I did! I even went on the bbb to find a company and they didn't list any local companys. They didn't list any companys that's why I asked!

    You are on an international cite. I wasn't being smart and you don't have to YELL
    I tried to help elisa. I don't see anyone jumping up to the plate so far.

    Then you have to use a reputable heating & air conditioning company in your neighbourhood.

    If I wanted that kind of work done, and I have as a matter of fact, I went in my local telephone book and started phoning.

    What else can you do. Surely there are heating & air conditioning repair shops listed in your area !!!!!!!

    In fact, I just googled 'furnace repair in Columbus OH' and found a lot of places, plus a very detailed map on where they are. So try that too.

    Yes there are a lot of company's but can you read I also went on the better business bureau(BBB)site and their was none listed. I will not use a company that is not a accredited business. I been ripped off and don't want to go down that road again. I'm sorry for yelling. Didn't mean too.

    Here where I am, we get billed long after the work is done, and the work Ihave done is exceptional because it is a small town and everyone knows each other. We only have 3 furnace repair guys and all are equally good.

    I haven't used the BBB for anything in years because they are overwhelmed and I don't know how they are still in business.

    I don't know how to help you. You will have to take a chance I guess.

    I remember Columbus when it was about the same way.

    What make and model is your furnace. If you can answer me some questions, maybe, and I mean maybe, I can help you fix it yourself. I don't live anywhere near Ohio, so I can't answer your original question, but I would like to help regardless. Please let me know if you would like help fixing it yourself. If not, I'm sorry I can't help you any further. Either way, good luck, and I hope it gets fixed for a reasonable cost. Take care.

    What alarms me is the fact that OP is willing to try and fix a gas furnace on her own with on line help.

    Happens every day 'round here, my friend. We do our best to assess the capability of the person in need, before giving any DIY advice. For this one, the tool I would recommend (as you did) is a phone book.

    Sorry, elisa, I was concerned for your safety. You expressed yourself you were a little worried about the gas part of it. I would be too. If I offended you, my apologies. I have a gas furnace too, and you know, even if its okay, and I have had problems, fixable though, I still wake up when it kicks on and takes so long to blow through.

    Here is the first company I found on the net for columbus Ohio. Maybe try calling them. Ask questions, like, what there rate is, and if they could suggest any other companys that may be closer to you.

    Atlas Butler Heating and cooling. 1-800-387-6223. Now I have no idea about their company, but there online ad sounds good. Hope they or another company can help. Please let us know how things work out.

    Also, maybe try typing in columbus Ohio heating technicians. This is where I found this number, looks like there are some more there too.
