Heating repair in a city that runs its furnaces half the year
Spokane furnaces carry the house from November through March. In the federal 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Spokane International Airport, the normal overnight low sits below freezing in each of those five months, and an average year brings about 132 nights at 32 °F or colder.
A system that coughs through October rarely improves once those nights pile up. Burners that light on the third try, a blower that squeals, or rooms that never reach the set temperature are worth a look before the first long freeze, when every contractor in town is busy.
For HVAC repair in Spokane that covers cooling too, the same call works. Central air in a furnace home runs through the furnace blower and ducts, so one contractor can look at both.

Smell gas or hear a CO alarm? Get out first
Avista, the utility that supplies natural gas and electricity across eastern Washington, says to move everyone upwind and away from the area if you smell gas, avoid anything that could make a spark, and then call 911 and Avista at (800) 227-9187 from a safe distance.
Carbon monoxide gives no smell at all. If an alarm sounds, get everyone into fresh air and call 911. A furnace repair call comes after the emergency responders say the house is safe. The carbon monoxide guide covers Washington's alarm law.

Summer cooling, from the same furnace
Spokane summers are short but warm. The same climate normals put July's average high at 84.4 °F and count about 21 days a year at 90 °F or above, most of them in July and August.
Central AC in a furnace home shares the blower, filter and ductwork. When cooling fails, the fault can sit in the outdoor unit or inside at the furnace. See AC repair and central AC replacement.
