Carpinteria 24 Hour Heating Repair Service
We may not get the extreme winters in Carpinteria like people up north, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t get downright chilly during winter nights. Since you rely on your furnace to keep you and your family comfortable, it’s good to know that you have a reliable heating repair company ready to help when you need them.
But, how do you know when your problem warrants calling for repairs now or when it’s safe to wait to book an appointment?
Here are the most common heating problems you should consider calling for emergency repairs.
Unresponsive Thermostat
Do you have a thermostat displaying a temperature different from the room temperature? Or is it not responding to your inputs? Before calling for help, check that the settings are correct and that the system is set to “auto.” If everything checks out and you’re still unable to get it to respond, call for help.
Strange Noises
Your furnace will make noise when it’s running, but if you hear something you’re not used to, like loud buzzing, grinding, or squealing, it could mean you have a loose component that can cause significant damage if you don’t deal with it as quickly as possible.
Gas Leak
Homeowners that use gas furnaces must be aware of gas leaks. When you smell the telltale rotten egg odor, shut off the furnace, evacuate the house, and call for emergency furnace repair as soon as possible.
Lukewarm or Cold Air
It goes without saying, but there’s a problem if your heater functions more like an air conditioner than a heater. This situation won’t fix itself and requires calling a professional HVAC technician to diagnose the problem.
Call the experts at Jerry’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning when facing a heater or furnace breakdown, and you can’t wait for an appointment.
Furnace Replacement & Maintenance
Whether your furnace was in place when you moved in or you purchased a new one, it’s essential to keep it well-maintained, so it runs efficiently and lasts for as long as possible. Sadly, however, many homeowners either put off this chore or dismiss it as a waste of money. But, as we’ll see, annual furnace and heater maintenance protects your investment and so much more.
A typical furnace maintenance service call includes:
- Checking the unit and the wiring
- Cleaning and lubricating the components
- Checking fuel lines and levels
- Testing the pilot light and calibrating fuel line pressure
- Cleaning pilot light mechanism
- Furnace calibration
- Identifying potential mechanical problems
Routine maintenance helps keep your energy bills low because your system runs more efficiently. Also, keeping your furnace in good condition extends its lifespan and reduces the chance of a sudden breakdown.
Lastly, annual cleaning and maintenance improve indoor air quality, which is essential for family members who suffer from allergies or breathing problems.
