Furnace repair in Lantana typically costs between $150 and $700, with most ignitor replacements or flame sensor cleanings landing around $180 – $340. When a furnace quits on a January night in Lantana, you need someone who knows the difference between a coastal condo unit and a 1972 ranch off Lantana Road. That’s us. We’re Brandt HVAC Co West Palm Beach, and we answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day. Call us at (728) 220-0996 any time you need heat back.
Lantana’s furnace problems aren’t the same as West Palm Beach’s or Boynton Beach’s. Salt-laden air near the Intracoastal corrodes heat exchangers and ignitors faster than you’d think. Inland, homes built in the 1960s and 70s run original undersized ductwork that strains blower motors until they fail. We fix both, and we quote a written price before any work starts.
Why Brandt HVAC Co West Palm Beach Is Lantana’s Preferred Furnace Repair Company
Lantana homeowners call us because we tell them exactly who’s walking through the door. Before every visit, you get the technician’s name and photo sent to your phone. When they arrive, they wear a branded uniform and hold up a photo ID badge at the threshold. That’s the Threshold Verified standard we work under, and it matters in a town where many residents are home alone, raising young kids, or simply want to know who’s standing in their doorway.
We’ve earned a strong local reputation in Lantana through one thing: showing up when we say we will and standing behind the work. Every furnace repair we do carries a written guarantee. If that repair fails within 365 days, we come back and make it right at no charge, no argument. That’s our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Response time to Lantana is fast. We dispatch crews from our South Florida operations, and our techs know Lantana’s streets: the condos along the barrier island side, the ranch neighborhoods near Lantana Road, the mobile home parks tucked off Dixie Highway. You won’t have to explain where you are twice.
Devin Marlowe leads our team, and the standard he sets is simple: a written price before work starts, a live person on the phone, and a technician you can identify before they ever knock. No surprises, no strangers.
Styles & brands we work with
Heating Repair in Lantana
Heating repair in Lantana means diagnosing and fixing what’s stopped your furnace from producing or moving warm air. It could be a failed ignitor, a cracked heat exchanger, a seized blower motor, or a gas valve that won’t open. Most heating repairs in Lantana run between $150 and $700, depending on what’s failed and how accessible the unit is. In older Lantana homes, especially 1960s – 70s ranches, we often find the root problem isn’t the furnace itself but the ductwork choking airflow into it. We diagnose first, quote in writing, then fix it right.
Ignitor and Flame Sensor Replacement
An ignitor that won’t glow or a flame sensor caked in residue is the most common cause of a furnace that tries to start but won’t stay lit. On Lantana’s coastal side, salt in the air accelerates the buildup on flame sensors. This repair is usually on the lower end of the range, often $150 – $300 with parts and labor included.
Gas Valve and Control Board Diagnosis
When the furnace clicks but never fires, the gas valve or control board may have failed. Humidity near the Intracoastal can corrode connections over time. We test before we replace, and you’ll see the written price before any part is ordered or installed.
Boiler Repair in Lantana
Boiler repair in Lantana covers systems that heat water and circulate it through radiators or baseboards. While less common than forced-air furnaces in Florida, some older Lantana buildings, including a handful of 1950s structures near the water, still run boilers. Repairs typically range from $150 to $700, depending on whether it’s a circulator pump, an expansion tank, a zone valve, or a pressure issue. We work on boilers in Lantana with the same written-price rule: you approve the cost before we turn a wrench.
Circulator Pump and Zone Valve Work
A boiler that runs but won’t move hot water often has a failed circulator pump or a stuck zone valve. In Lantana’s older buildings, mineral buildup in the water can bind these components. We identify which zone is down and replace only what’s failed.
Pressure and Expansion Tank Service
Boilers that overpressurize or leak at the relief valve usually point to a waterlogged expansion tank. This is a straightforward fix but one that needs a trained hand, since boilers operate under pressure. We’ll diagnose it and quote the repair in writing before doing the work.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We service and repair furnaces from Carrier, Trane, Bryant, and American Standard, among other major residential brands. For Lantana customers, that means we can usually source the ignitor, gas valve, or blower motor your system needs without waiting days for a part to ship. Older Carrier and Bryant furnaces are common in Lantana’s ranch homes, and we know their quirks: which models crack heat exchangers, which control boards fail intermittently, and which ones are worth repairing versus replacing. If you’re unsure what brand you have, we’ll identify it the moment we open the panel.
Common Furnace Repair Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Salt-corroded heat exchangers near the Intracoastal. Furnaces in condos and homes on the barrier island side of Lantana rust from the outside in. Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on the heat exchanger, leading to cracks that can’t be repaired, only replaced.
- Failed blower motors in 1960s – 70s ranch homes. Undersized original ductwork creates high static pressure that forces blower motors to work harder than they were designed to. The motor overheats, the bearings wear out, and the furnace stops moving air.
- Collapsed flex duct choking airflow. In Lantana’s older homes, we regularly find flex duct that’s pinched, collapsed, or disconnected in the attic. That starves the furnace of return air and overheats the heat exchanger.
- Ignitor failures in mobile home parks. Mobile homes in Lantana often have smaller, horizontal furnaces with ignitors that fail sooner under high humidity and tight mechanical closets. The good news: it’s usually a quick, inexpensive repair.
Pricing for Furnace Repair in Lantana, FL
Here’s what Lantana homeowners can expect to pay, in real dollars, before they call us:

What moves the price on a Lantana furnace repair? Access, mostly. A furnace in a tight condo closet near the Intracoastal takes longer to work on than one in a garage. The brand matters too: some Trane and Carrier parts cost more than others. And age plays a role. A 30-year-old furnace with a cracked heat exchanger is often a replace, not a repair, and we’ll tell you that straight. Estimates are free. Call (728) 220-0996 for an exact written quote.

AfterThe Problem With a Like-for-Like Swap in Lantana’s Older Homes
Here’s a conversation we have often in Lantana, and it’s one most HVAC companies won’t start. Homeowner in a 1968 ranch off Lantana Road says, “The furnace died, just put in another one the same size.” We understand the instinct. But in a town split by the Intracoastal, where inland homes run undersized original ductwork and coastal condos fight salt-air corrosion, a like-for-like swap often disappoints.
The old furnace was sized for a house that may have had no insulation in the walls, single-pane windows, and a floor plan that was never balanced. Slapping in a new unit with the same BTU rating doesn’t fix the collapsed flex duct in the attic or the heat exchanger that rusted through from years of humidity. It just puts a new piece of equipment on top of an old problem.
Our tech pulled the blower motor from a 1972 ranch off Lantana Road and found the evaporator coil crusted with salt, even a mile inland. Static pressure was off the charts from collapsed flex duct, and the heat exchanger on the Carrier furnace was rusted through from years of humidity. We replaced the coil, re-ran the duct, and got the system back to proper airflow. Had we just swapped the furnace, that homeowner would’ve been calling us again within a year.
We do it differently. Before recommending a replacement in Lantana, we look at the ductwork, the static pressure, and the actual heat load of the house. Sometimes a smaller unit with better airflow outperforms the old oversized one. That’s the kind of honest assessment that saves you money and keeps your home warm for years.
Furnace Tune-Up and Maintenance in Lantana
A furnace tune-up in Lantana runs $80 – $200 and is the cheapest insurance you’ll buy for your heating system. During a tune-up, we check the heat exchanger for cracks, clean or replace the flame sensor, test the ignitor, inspect the gas valve, and measure temperature rise across the system. In Lantana’s humid, salt-tinged air, a yearly check catches corrosion early, before a $200 repair becomes a $2,000 replacement. Our technicians are not paid on what they sell. You’ll get a written report of what we found, what we fixed, and what to watch.

FAQs About Furnace Repair in Lantana
The short answer is salt. Lantana sits right on the Intracoastal Waterway, and the sea breeze carries fine salt particles inland, even a mile or more. That salt settles on your furnace’s metal components, accelerating corrosion on the heat exchanger. West Palm Beach has more buildings set back from the coast, so the salt load is lower. In Lantana, we recommend annual heat exchanger inspections, especially if you’re within a half-mile of the water. Call (728) 220-0996 to schedule a check.
You need a load calculation, and we’ll be blunt about why. Lantana’s older homes often have original ductwork that’s undersized, and a furnace that was “right-sized” in 1970 may be wrong for the house as it sits today. Same-size swaps in these ranches frequently disappoint because the ductwork can’t deliver the air the new unit needs. We measure static pressure and run a proper Manual J load calculation before recommending any replacement. It’s the only way to avoid buying a furnace that never heats evenly.
Twice a year, and that’s specific to the barrier island side. Salt spray from the ocean breeze coats coils quickly, and a dirty coil cuts efficiency and strains the whole system. Inland Lantana homes can usually get by with once-a-year coil cleaning. If you’re east of the Intracoastal, call (728) 220-0996 and ask about twice-yearly coil cleaning for your furnace or heat pump.
Because the ductwork is working against it. 1960s – 70s ranch homes in Lantana were often built with ducts sized for cooling only, not for the static pressure of a modern furnace blower. The motor runs hot, the bearings wear, and you’re replacing it every few years. We see this constantly along Lantana Road and in the neighborhoods off Hypoluxo Road. The real fix is often duct repair or replacement, not another blower motor. We’ll measure static pressure and show you the numbers before recommending anything.
Ignitor failure, by a wide margin. Mobile home furnaces in Lantana are smaller, horizontal units installed in tight mechanical closets with poor ventilation. Combined with Lantana’s humidity, the ignitor and flame sensor foul faster than in a full-size home furnace. It’s usually a $150 – $300 fix, and we stock ignitors for the common mobile home furnace brands. If yours won’t light, call us at (728) 220-0996 and we’ll have a technician out quickly.
