Lennox furnace repair in Torrance typically costs between $150 and $700, with most jobs completed the same day we diagnose the problem. As an independent Lennox service provider, we repair every major Lennox furnace line, from older G-series units to current SLP98 and EL296 models. You’ll get a written price before we open a single panel, and every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
This page is for Torrance homeowners who own a Lennox furnace that’s acting up, throwing an error code, or refusing to start. If you’re in that situation right now, call (424) 358-3791 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail tree.
How Lennox Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
- S
G51 and G61 series: pressure switch error code (E228 / E229).
These mid-2000s workhorses are all over Torrance homes, especially in the ranch-style tracts near Old Town. When the exhaust vent gets partially blocked or the condensate trap clogs, the pressure switch trips and the board throws a code. We don’t just clear the code – we inspect the vent run, clean the trap, and verify the switch actually closes before we call it fixed. - SLP98 and SLP99 modulating gas valves: short-cycling and uneven heat. The fully modulating burners on these high-efficiency units are great when they work, but a dirty flame sensor confuses the control board and makes the burner fire on and off. This is the single most common Lennox call we run in Torrance from December through February. Cleaning or replacing the flame sensor, then verifying gas pressure at the manifold, usually restores true modulation.
- ML193 and ML195 series: failed ignitors. Len
nox uses silicon nitride hot-surface ignitors on most modern furnaces, and they’re a known wear item, typically lasting seven to ten years. When they crack, you get a furnace that tries to start, runs the draft inducer, then gives up without lighting. We stock both OEM Lennox ignitors and high-grade aftermarket equivalents, and we’ll tell you the price difference before we order anything.
- EL296 and EL195 two-stage units: airflow restriction from plugged secondary heat exchangers. This one’s specific to high-efficiency Lennox condensing furnaces. The secondary heat exchanger sits in the condensate stream, and over years, mineral buildup from Torrance’s hard water slows airflow and drops efficiency. A homeowner can’t easily see this happening without opening the cabinet, which is exactly why an annual tune-up on these models pays for itself. We measure temperature rise and static pressure to catch it before it trips the high-limit switch.
- G40 and G50 legacy series: failing blower motors and run capacitors. The
se 20-plus-year-old units still pop up in some of Torrance’s older post-war homes, and the most common failure is the PSC blower motor or its capacitor. Symptom: the burners light fine, but weak airflow means the furnace overheats and shuts down after a few minutes. We can usually save the motor with a new capacitor, but if the bearings are shot, we’ll show you the worn part and give you a written price to replace just the motor rather than the whole furnace.

Our Lennox Furnace Repair Process
- 1
You call or book online, and you get a live arrival time you can track. No four-hour windows. You’ll see your technician’s name, photo, and ETA before we pull up.
- 2
We diagnose h
onestly, with the actual problem in plain English.
Andre grew up in LA and trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and he teaches every tech the same rule: tell the homeowner what’s actually wrong before anything else. We’ll show you the failed part, explain what it does, and why it failed. - 3
You get a written price before any work starts. This is non-negotiable at Halden Heating and Air Torrance. No surprises at the door, no “while we’re in there” add-ons unless we get your explicit approval first.
- 4
We make the parts decision with you. OEM Lennox parts keep everything factory-spec and warranty-clean, but quality aftermarket parts from trusted manufacturers often cost 20-40% less and work just as well for older out-of-warranty units. We’ll give you both numbers and let you choose.
- 5
We repair, then we test. The furnace runs through at least two full heating cycles with the panels on, not just a blip of the burner. We check gas pressure, temperature rise, and airflow before we pack up.
- 6
You get the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Every repair is covered for a full year. If the same issue comes back within 365 days, our second visit is free. No arguing, no “well actually” clauses.

Why Torrance Homeowners Call Halden Heating and Air Torrance for Lennox Work
Because we treat your Lennox furnace the way we’d treat our own, and we put that in writing before we touch it. You get a written price before the first tool comes out, a written guarantee on every repair, and a free second visit if the fix doesn’t hold. That’s the Relay Standard, and it’s how every Halden Heating and Air Torrance job runs.
Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Lennox systems specifically, but if your home has a Carrier or Trane unit too, we handle those as well. Torrance homeowners don’t have time for phone tag, so we answer live 24/7 and give you a real arrival window you can track. Andre Fuller and the team know these furnaces from years of South Bay service calls, from the hills above Palos Verdes to the coastal flats near the refinery.
FAQs
In most cases, yes. Common repairs like flame sensor cleaning, ignitor replacement, and pressure switch swaps are same-day jobs in Torrance. If we need to order a specific OEM Lennox part, we’ll tell you exactly when it arrives and lock in a return visit time before we leave. Call (424) 358-3791 and we’ll tell you straight up what kind of turnaround you’re looking at.
No.
Using an independent contractor for repairs does not void a Lennox manufacturer’s warranty, provided we use OEM Lennox parts for any warranty-covered components. We stay warranty-safe on every job, and we’ll tell you if you’re better off going through Lennox’s warranty channel for a specific part before you spend a dollar. Our written guarantee covers our work separately.
Most repairs run between $150 and $700 in the Torrance market. Simple fixes like a dirty flame sensor are on the low end. A heat exchanger replacement on an older unit can push past $700, and at that point we’ll be honest about whether a new furnace makes more financial sense. You’ll always get a written price before we start, and estimates are free. Call (424) 358-3791 for a real number on your specific Lennox model.
If your Lennox furnace is under 12 years old and the repair is under $500, repair almost always wins. If it’s a G-series from the early 2000s with a cracked heat exchanger, or if you’re looking at multiple failed components, replacement often saves you money within three to five years thanks to efficiency gains alone. We’ll walk you through the math on your exact model on-site, and we’ll
give you both the repair price and a replacement quote in writing before you decide.
Dirty flame sensors on modulating and two-stage Lennox models, hands down. Torrance’s ocean air carries moisture and salt, and that film builds up on the sensor until the furnace won’t stay lit. It’s a $150-$250 fix, and it’s one of the first things we check when a Lennox unit is short-cycling. If your furnace fires up and then shuts off within a minute, there’s a good chance this is your issue.
