Identifying Common Heating System Problems

Your heater will often show signs of distress before it breaks down completely. Recognizing these symptoms can help you seek timely repairs and avoid a complete system failure. Our technicians are experts at resolving a wide range of issues across all types of heating systems.

Common Furnace Issues We Address:

A furnace that isn't working correctly can lead to inconsistent heat, high energy bills, and potential safety hazards. We specialize in diagnosing the root cause of these problems to provide lasting solutions.

• No Heat or Insufficient Heat: This can stem from a malfunctioning thermostat, a faulty ignitor or pilot light, or a problem with the gas supply. Our team will systematically check each component to pinpoint the exact failure.
• Strange Noises: Banging, popping, or squealing sounds often indicate mechanical problems. A banging noise could be an issue with your ductwork, while squealing may point to a worn-out belt or motor bearing.
• Frequent Cycling: If your furnace turns on and off more frequently than usual, it could be a sign of a clogged filter, improper airflow, or a faulty thermostat.
• The Blower is Always Running: A blower that won’t shut off could be caused by a faulty limit switch or an issue with your thermostat settings.

For dedicated diagnostics and solutions for your furnace, we offer specialized Furnace Repair services to restore its performance and efficiency.

Common Heat Pump Problems:

Heat pumps are complex systems that provide both heating and cooling. When they malfunction in the winter, you need a technician who understands their unique operation.

• Not Heating Adequately: This can be caused by low refrigerant levels, a malfunctioning reversing valve, or an issue with the outdoor unit’s defrost cycle.
• Icing Up: While a thin layer of frost is normal, a heat pump completely covered in ice indicates a problem with airflow or refrigerant charge that needs immediate attention.
• Stuck in Cooling Mode: If your heat pump won't switch over to heating, the reversing valve is often the culprit.
• Loud or Unusual Operation: Grinding or rattling sounds can signal a serious mechanical issue with the compressor or fan motor.

Our technicians are proficient in all aspects of Heat Pump Repair, ensuring your system operates effectively throughout the heating season.

When Is It Time for a Heater Replacement?

While we always strive to repair your system, sometimes a replacement is the more sensible and cost-effective long-term solution. An older, inefficient unit may require frequent and expensive repairs that only offer a temporary fix. Our technicians will provide an honest assessment to help you make an informed decision. Consider a replacement if:

• Your furnace or heat pump is over 15 years old.
• The cost of the repair is 50% or more of the cost of a new system.
• Your system has experienced multiple breakdowns in the last two years.
• Your energy bills have been steadily increasing despite regular use.

Should a new system be the best path forward, we can guide you through our seamless Heater Replacement process. We also offer flexible Financing options to help make this important home investment more manageable.

A well-maintained system runs more efficiently, lasts longer, and is far less likely to break down during the coldest months.
