The furnace runs but the air is cool
A tripped limit switch, a dirty flame sensor or a failing inducer can keep the burners from staying lit.

Heating and cooling in Kalamazoo
One phone line for every system in the house
Quick answer
We repair and install furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, central air, water heaters and indoor air equipment in Kalamazoo and Southwest Michigan. Call (269) 360-5258 at any hour. Most repairs are diagnosed on the first visit and priced in writing before any work begins.
A Kalamazoo house asks a lot of its equipment. The furnace may run for weeks without a real break when lake-effect bands roll in off Lake Michigan, then the same ductwork has to move cool, dry air through a humid July. Older homes near downtown still lean on boilers and cast-iron radiators, while the subdivisions toward Oshtemo and Portage are almost all forced air with central AC. Our technicians work on all of it.
Teed Heating & Cooling keeps two offices for that reason. The shop on S Rose Street sits a few minutes from most of the city, and the Coloma office on Washington Street handles St. Joseph, Benton Harbor and the shore towns, where damp lake air is hard on outdoor units. Both share one phone number and one schedule, so the nearest open technician takes the call.
When you call, you talk with our own office. We ask what the system is doing, whether anyone feels unwell, and what kind of heat or cooling you have, then set a time. On site, the technician tests before replacing parts, explains what failed and gives you the price before starting. If a repair no longer makes sense on an older unit, we say so plainly and lay out the replacement options side by side.

Flame color reader
What is your furnace flame telling you?
Most gas furnaces have a small window or sight glass on the burner door. With the furnace running, look at the flames without opening any panel. Pick the one that matches what you see.
Normal
Steady blue with a crisp inner cone
Gas and air are mixing the way the burner was built for, so the fuel burns cleanly and the heat exchanger stays dry.
Keep the filter fresh and have the burners, flame sensor and venting checked once a year before the cold sets in.

Six signs your system needs a technician this week
None of these fix themselves, and most get more expensive the longer the system runs that way.
It starts and stops every few minutes
Short cycling wears out igniters and wastes gas. Filters, sensors and oversizing are the usual causes.
Furnace Tune-UpA CO alarm chirps or the flame turns yellow
Get everyone outside first. Then have the burners, venting and heat exchanger checked before the furnace runs again.
Carbon Monoxide Safety CheckIce builds on the AC lines in summer
Low refrigerant or poor airflow over the indoor coil lets it freeze, and the compressor pays for it.
Refrigerant Leak RepairUpstairs rooms are always a few degrees off
Undersized returns, leaky ducts and closed dampers are common in Kalamazoo two-stories. Balancing usually fixes it.
Airflow & Room BalancingStatic shocks and cracked woodwork in January
Winter air in Michigan gets very dry once the furnace runs all day. A whole-home humidifier brings it back to a comfortable range.
Whole-Home Humidifier InstallationHow a call works
From your call to a working system
1
You call, we answer
Our office picks up at any hour and asks what the system is doing and how old it is.
2
A technician is set
The closest open technician from Kalamazoo or Coloma takes the visit, and you get a time window.
3

5
Test and walk-through
We run a full cycle, check safety controls and tell you what to watch for.
Kalamazoo winters do not wait for business hours, so neither does our phone.
A furnace that quits at 2 a.m. in January is a different problem than the same failure on a mild October afternoon. That is why the line stays open, and why our trucks carry igniters, flame sensors, inducer motors and capacitors through the season.

Comfort Guides
Plain answers from our technicians
Short guides on the questions we hear on service calls, plus a price guide covering every service.
What your furnace flame color is telling you
A gas burner flame is a quick window into how well your furnace is burning fuel. This guide explains what each color and flame shape means, what you can safely look at, and which signs mean you should leave the house and call for help.
Read the guideWhy your furnace is blowing cold air and what to check first
Cold air from the vents on a January night usually traces back to a short list of causes, and several of them take a homeowner five minutes to rule out. Here is the order we would check them in, plus the point where you should stop and call.
Read the guideWhy your furnace short cycles and how it gets fixed
A furnace that starts, runs for a couple of minutes and shuts off again is wearing itself out and probably leaving rooms uneven. Here is how to recognize short cycling, the usual causes, and what a homeowner can safely check.

Questions Kalamazoo homeowners ask first
Does someone really answer the phone at 3 a.m.?
Yes. The line at (269) 360-5258 is answered around the clock, every day of the year, holidays included. A person takes down your address and what the system is doing, and you hear back about timing on that same call rather than waiting for an office to open.
Which areas does each Teed office cover?
The S Rose Street office in downtown Kalamazoo covers Kalamazoo, Portage, Oshtemo, Texas and Comstock townships, Battle Creek and the inland counties. The Washington Street office in Coloma covers the Berrien County side, including St. Joseph, Stevensville, Benton Harbor, Coloma, Watervliet and Niles.
Can you work on boilers and radiators in older Kalamazoo houses?
Yes. Many homes in Stuart, Vine, West Main Hill and other older parts of the city still run on steam or hot-water boilers. We repair and replace boilers, service radiator valves and vents, and can add ductless units for summer cooling without tearing into plaster walls.
Do you service propane furnaces out in the country?
We do. Rural homes across Kalamazoo, Van Buren, Cass and St. Joseph counties often heat with propane. Our technicians work on propane furnaces, boilers and garage heaters, and know how the burner setup differs from a natural gas unit.
How will I know what a repair costs before the work starts?
The technician finds the cause first, then gives you a written price for the repair before touching anything. You decide whether to go ahead. Typical ranges for common jobs are listed on our price guide so you have a rough idea before you call.
Do you take care of small business heating and cooling too?
Yes. We repair and maintain rooftop units, commercial furnaces and split systems for restaurants, offices, shops and churches across Southwest Michigan, and we can set up a maintenance schedule so equipment is checked before each heating and cooling season.
