Furnace lights then shuts down after a few seconds

Heating and air conditioning service built around Charleston
Mountain terrain and high humidity drive demand for correctly sized equipment rather than maximum capacity. Across the 25362 area that translates into a steady stream of failed capacitors, clogged filters, dying blower motors and refrigerant leaks — most of which we can diagnose and repair in one visit.
In the 25362 area we see a lot of attic-mounted air handlers. Attic heat soak in summer and cold-soak in winter both shorten component life and make insulation checks part of a proper diagnosis.
If your system is over ten years old and you have had two repairs in the last two seasons, a replacement comparison is usually worth running even if the current unit still runs.

Charleston25362 HVAC questions, answered
What brands do you service in Charleston?
All of them. Our 25362 technicians are trained on Amana, Bryant, Lennox, Mitsubishi Electric and essentially every other residential brand sold in West Virginia, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in West Virginia is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 25362?
A diagnostic visit in Charleston typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
We do. A two-visit plan in West Virginia covers a spring cooling inspection and an autumn heating inspection, priority scheduling during peak weeks, discounted repairs and no diagnostic fee. Members rarely end up on the emergency list.
Do you handle ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. Ductless installations have grown quickly in West Virginia, particularly in older homes without existing ductwork. We service indoor heads, clean filters and drain lines, check line-set insulation and diagnose communication faults between heads and the outdoor unit.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
