Why Meadowsweet Heating & Air Is North Fort Myers’s Preferred Furnace Repair Company
We’re part of the Cedarwell family of HVAC companies, founded in 2004, and every Meadowsweet job carries the Cedarwell Care Promise: a written price first, shoe covers and drop cloths inside your home, and a photo of the clean-up before our crew leaves. Luis Serrano leads our team, and he holds every technician to the C.A.R.E. values code: clean up like it’s their own home, ask before moving anything, respect your family’s time and quiet hours, and explain the price before the work. Those aren’t slogans. They’re the system.
North Fort Myers customers call us specifically because we understand package units, belly-pan ductwork, and propane furnaces. Those are the systems most HVAC companies in southwest Florida rarely touch. We service them daily. When a heat pump in a 1980s manufactured home off US-41 won’t switch over to heating mode, our techs have likely already fixed that same issue three times that month in your neighborhood.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. No voicemail queue. When your home is cold and your kids are sleeping in extra layers, you get a real human on the line who can dispatch a tech to North Fort Myers immediately.

Furnace Maintenance in North Fort Myers
Furnace maintenance in North Fort Myers is different from maintenance anywhere else in Lee County because most local systems are package units or propane furnaces sitting in humid, salt-adjacent air. A tune-up here runs $80 to $200, and it’s the single best way to avoid a no-heat night during a cold snap. We inspect the burner assembly, test the reversing valve on heat pumps, check airflow through belly-pan ductwork, and clean what needs cleaning. You get a written report of what we found, with photos.
What a tune-up covers on a package unit
On the self-contained package units common throughout North Fort Myers, we open the cabinet, inspect the heat exchanger and blower wheel, check the capacitor and contactor, and verify the defrost cycle works. We also look for rust and corrosion from hurricane-season moisture. That’s the kind of damage that doesn’t announce itself until the system fails at 2 a.m.
Propane furnace service
Propane furnaces need burner alignment, orifice cleaning, and gas-pressure verification. In rural North Fort Myers, where tanks sit outside through storms and humidity, burners corrode faster than they do inland. A maintenance visit catches that before it becomes a repair call.
Heat Pump Repair in North Fort Myers
Heat pump repair in North Fort Myers is the most common heating call we take, because most homes here don’t have a gas furnace at all. When a heat pump runs in cooling mode all summer but won’t produce heat in December, the issue is usually the reversing valve, the defrost control board, or a failed auxiliary heat strip. Repairs fall under our standard Furnace Repair pricing, typically $150 to $700 depending on the part and the configuration of your system.
Reversing valve and defrost faults
A heat pump heats by reversing refrigerant flow. When the reversing valve sticks, the system stays in cooling mode and blows cold air while your thermostat calls for heat. We test the valve coil, verify the 24-volt signal, and replace the valve if it’s seized. We also check the defrost sensor and board, because a system that can’t defrost in North Fort Myers humidity will ice over and lock itself out.
Auxiliary heat strip failures
On the coldest nights, your heat pump relies on electric strip heat to supplement the refrigerant cycle. Those strips burn out, or their relays fail. We replace burned strips, test the high-limit switch, and confirm the thermostat is wired to stage the heat correctly. If your home blows warm air on mild days but cold air when it drops below 45 degrees, the strip heat is almost always involved.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Fort Myers
We repair furnaces and heat pumps from Goodman, Rheem, York, and Daikin, along with five other major brands. Because North Fort Myers has so many Goodman package units and Rheem heat pumps, we keep common capacitors, ignitors, flame sensors, and reversing valve coils on our trucks. That means most repairs go from diagnosis to done in one visit, without waiting on a parts shipment. If your system is a less common Daikin or York configuration, we can still source parts quickly through our local supply network. Whatever the nameplate says, the repair process is the same: written price first, fixed price before work begins.
Common Furnace Repair Problems We See in North Fort Myers Homes
- Belly-pan duct collapse and rodent damage. Manufactured homes route ductwork through a metal belly pan beneath the floor. Moisture from high humidity and standing water after storms softens the flex duct, and rodents chew through it. Collapsed duct chokes airflow, which trips the high-limit switch and shuts the furnace down.
- Propane burner corrosion and flame sensor failure. Rural North Fort Myers properties run on propane tanks, and the burner assemblies sit in humid salt air year-round. Flame sensors corrode faster here than almost anywhere else in Lee County. The symptom is usually a furnace that lights, runs for a few seconds, then shuts off.
- Heat pump reversing valve failures during shoulder seasons. September through November and February through April are the hardest months on North Fort Myers heat pumps. The system cycles between heating and cooling daily, and the reversing valve gets more wear in three weeks than it would all winter up north.
- Post-Ian package unit corrosion. Many package units in the manufactured-home parks off Bayshore Road were partially submerged during Hurricane Ian’s storm surge in September 2022. Some were dried out and switched back on rather than replaced. Those units now show corroded heat exchangers, failing blower motors, and contaminated control boards. When they fail, they fail hard.
Pricing for Furnace Repair in North Fort Myers, FL
Here’s what furnace repair work costs in North Fort Myers right now. These are the ranges we quote on the phone before sending a technician:
| Service | Typical Cost in North Fort Myers |
|---|---|
| Furnace Repair | $150-$700 |

A failed ignitor on a Goodman package unit might run $200 to $350. A reversing valve replacement on a Rheem heat pump is closer to $500 to $700. The biggest cost driver in North Fort Myers is accessibility: if your package unit sits on a flood-elevated pad with tight clearance, or your propane furnace is in an unconditioned garage at the back of a rural acreage property, the job takes longer. We factor that into the written price before we start. You’ll never get a surprise line item.

FAQs About Furnace Repair in North Fort Myers
Yes. Most North Fort Myers homes run on propane or on the heating side of a heat pump, and those are the systems we work on most. Your furnace doesn’t need a natural gas main for us to repair it. We diagnose propane burners, gas valves, flame sensors, and heat pump reversing valves every day.
High humidity accelerates corrosion on burners, control boards, and blower wheels, especially after storm surge or flooding. That means parts that might last 15 years in a dry climate can fail in 7 to 10 years here. We look for moisture damage during every repair so you’re not surprised later.
Because North Fort Myers has one of the highest concentrations of manufactured and mobile homes in Lee County, and those homes are built around self-contained package units that sit outside or on the roof. A package unit holds the furnace, blower, and coil in one cabinet, so the repair process and failure points are different from a conventional split system.
The most likely culprits are a failed reversing valve, a bad defrost control board, or burned-out auxiliary heat strips. We test all three during a single visit. Repair cost falls within our normal $150 to $700 range depending on which component has failed.
Most repairs take 60 to 90 minutes once we’re on site. Rural acreage properties with long driveways or difficult access can add time, especially if the unit sits on a flood-elevated pad or in a detached outbuilding. We’ll give you an honest time estimate when you call. Call (747) 966-3037 and we’ll walk you through it.
