When Do You Need Heating Repairs?

Some repairs are very obvious problems that need immediate attention, but other times it can be hard to determine if a heating specialist should be called or not. Here are the top heating system issues that may help you decide whether or not to call a professional.

No or Not Enough Heat

If your heater is simply not delivering warm air throughout your home, it will not resolve the issue on its own. A technician is your best bet to get your heat working properly again.

Frequent Cycling

Sometimes a heating system may cycle too often or cycle right after it has shut off. This can indicate a problem with the thermostat or restricted airflow. If you can’t find the issue or feel uncomfortable trying to find it, calling a technician is a great idea.

Abnormal Noise

All heaters some noise as part of their regular function. However, a disruptive or abnormal noise could be a mechanical problem or a combustion issue. You’ll likely need the help of experienced and specialized tools to find the problem and a solution.

Ignition Control or Pilot Light

Gas heating equipment relies on a stable ignition sequence or pilot. If the pilot or ignition control fails, you will lose heat. You may need assistance resolving this problem.

Faulty Thermostat

If your thermostat is broken you’ll have a very difficult time regulating the temperature in your Alabama home. Also, a broken thermostat can cause the fan to malfunction and lead to uncomfortable temperatures. A technician will most likely need to replace or reconfigure the control.

Blower Won’t Shut Off

A failed limit or control can cause the blower to continuously run. You don’t want to waste energy and time waiting for the problem to stop. It’s best to contact a professional to get an effective heating repair.

If your heating system shows any of these signs – or others that cause you concern – contact heating repair services sooner rather than later. While most issues are not absolute emergencies, small problems that are left unaddressed can become much bigger over time. We want to give you a quick and efficient solution instead of having to replace the entire heating system.

Signs It May Be Time to Replace Heater
