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.

Skelton’s performs proper load calculations, evaluates airflow and duct conditions, and recommends equipment configured for steady, even warmth and efficient performance.

Heating System Replacement: When It’s the Right Move

Sometimes replacement is the most practical way to restore comfort and reliability. If you’re facing repeated breakdowns, uneven temperatures, rising utility bills, or your current system is past its typical lifespan, our team will compare repair versus replacement options and help you decide with confidence.

Signs It May Be Time to Replace Heater

  • Frequent or costly repair history over recent seasons
  • Noticeable decline in comfort or rooms that won’t stay warm
  • Higher energy bills compared to prior years for similar usage
  • Outdated or mismatched equipment that struggles to keep up

We’ll walk you through compatible system choices, efficiency ratings, noise levels, and total cost considerations so you get the right heating system for your home and budget.

Heating FAQs

How do I know if I should repair or replace my heating system?

Load calculation, equipment selection, airflow and duct review, safe removal of old equipment (if applicable), precise installation, startup testing, and guidance on system operation.

What Our Customers Are Saying

We had a great experience with Skelton’s!

We had a great experience with Skelton’s! Our dog damaged the wiring on our A/C condenser, and it stopped working while the highs were still in the 80’s. Skelton’s came out the next day and got our condenser working again. Would recommend them and use them again!

Very Professional and Responsive

Skelton’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing is very professional and responsive. I was able to request service via an online service request form one evening and was called promptly the next morning. I was subsequently able to have service performed within 2 hours. When your AC is not working this is like finding gold! I highly recommend them.
