Common Heating Problems and How We Solve Them

When you’ve worked with as many different properties as our team has over the years, you get very familiar with how to solve problems efficiently. Here’s how we help people deal with some of the most frequent challenges…

No Heat or Insufficient Heat

The issue may be a faulty thermostat, pilot light problems, or clogged air filters. Our technicians diagnose the root cause and work towards immediate solutions, such as replacing malfunctioning components or cleaning essential system parts to restore efficient heating.

Frequent Cycling 

When your heating system short cycles, it may indicate problems, including dirty filters, improper thermostat placement, or even an oversized furnace. Short cycling puts undue stress on the system and raises your energy costs. We handle everything from filter replacements to thermostat calibration to resolve this issue efficiently.

Uneven Heating Between Zones 

Multi-zone systems are great, but they can experience uneven heating if zone dampers malfunction or your ducts become blocked. Our team knows how to identify the cause of the imbalance and repair or adjust dampers and duct systems for even, consistent warmth throughout your home.

Pilot Light or Ignition Problems

If your furnace’s pilot light won’t stay lit or your ignition system fails, it can prevent your heating system from functioning altogether. Our technicians inspect and repair ignition systems, enabling your furnace to operate safely and effectively.

Unusual Noises 

Banging, whistling, or clanking noises are often caused by loose parts, worn-out belts, or expansion within the ductwork. These sounds should never be ignored, as they can signal significant underlying issues. 

Heating System Doesn’t Start

Electrical problems can often leave your heating system unresponsive. Issues like damaged wiring, tripped circuit breakers, or worn-out capacitors are common culprits. We skillfully troubleshoot and repair electrical components to get your heating system running again.

Excessive Energy Costs

A sudden jump in your heating costs that can’t be explained any other way often signals an inefficient or aging system. Worn parts, poor insulation, or incorrect settings can all contribute. Our team conducts comprehensive energy evaluations, cleans the system for better efficiency, and recommends upgrades where needed. 

Clogged Air Filters

Dirty or clogged air filters restrict airflow and make your heating system work harder than necessary. This not only reduces efficiency but can shorten the lifespan of your equipment. We’ll replace the filters. 

Water Leaks Around the System

Boilers and other heating systems may develop leaks that lead to water damage and inefficiencies. Our technicians inspect the seals, valves, and other components to repair leaks and maintain the overall integrity of your system.

We believe regular maintenance is the key to avoiding unexpected breakdowns and getting efficient system performance. Our professional maintenance program is designed to catch potential problems early, extend the life of your heating system, and save you money on energy costs. With routine inspections and tune-ups customized to your specific system, we want to give you consistent comfort and peace of mind throughout the colder months.
