When your heater stops running, you know it’s time to schedule a service. But, unfortunately, some other heater issues are not as obvious. For this reason, it pays to familiarize yourself with common heating-related problems. These can include:

• Decreased Warmth: If some areas of your home receive less warm air than others, it may be due to duct issues or a failing unit.
• Unusual Noises: Pay attention to grinding, squealing, or banging sounds emanating from your heating system. These noises could be a sign of worn-out components or loose parts that require a full boiler, heat pump, or furnace repair.
• Increased Energy Bills: A sudden rise in your energy bills, without a corresponding increase in heating usage, can be a clear indicator of an inefficient boiler, hydronic heating system, or heat pump. This inefficiency can be addressed through regular HVAC services.
• Frequent Cycling: An unusually frequent on-and-off cycling of your heating system may indicate a problem. It could be due to a malfunctioning thermostat or other internal issues that need professional attention.
• Gas Smells: If you smell gas, evacuate your home immediately and contact a professional to check for a gas leak.
• Aging Equipment: If your system is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, it’s a good idea to schedule a boiler replacement to prevent further issues.

Our dedicated team of technicians takes pride in their meticulous approach to keeping your heating system in optimal condition. Here’s a glimpse into how our technicians ensure your warmth and comfort:

• Visual Inspection: We begin by visually inspecting your entire heating system, looking for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
• Cleanliness: Dust and debris can accumulate in your heater, reducing its efficiency. We meticulously clean all components, including filters, ducts, and vents.
• Thermostat Calibration: We ensure your thermostat is accurately calibrated to maintain a consistent and comfortable temperature in your home.
• Safety Checks: Safety is our priority. Our expert technicians test all safety controls to ensure your system shuts down in case of emergencies.
• Combustion Analysis: For gas heating systems, we perform a combustion analysis to ensure the system is burning fuel efficiently and not producing harmful gases.
• Inspect Electrical Components: We examine wiring and electrical connections to prevent potential fire hazards and system malfunctions.
• Lubrication: Proper lubrication of moving parts reduces friction and extends the life of your system. Our HVAC contractors apply lubricants where necessary.
• Airflow Assessment: We check for any blockages or obstructions that might impede airflow, which can lead to uneven heating.
• Testing and Calibration: Finally, we run a series of tests to ensure your heating equipment is operating at peak performance and calibrate it as needed.

Our technicians’ meticulous attention to detail ensures that your unit is not only efficient but also safe. Trust us to keep your home warm and cozy, no matter how cold it gets outside.

Key factors to consider include energy efficiency, size of your space, climate, and preferred fuel source. The most important thing to remember when it comes to new installations is to choose a system that meets your needs and aligns with your budgetary goals. Our team can help you find the best solution for your home.

We recommend scheduling routine maintenance every single year for your heating system. This ensures optimal performance, efficiency, and safety. It also prevents costly breakdowns.

The lifespan of your heater will depend on factors like maintenance, usage, and brand. On average, modern heaters can last 15 to 20 years. Proper care and timely maintenance can significantly extend their longevity, providing reliable warmth and cost savings over time.

Deciding between a boiler repair and installation depends on your heating system’s age, efficiency, and the cost of repairs. If your system is old and inefficient, investing in a new installation may be more cost-effective in the long run, providing better energy efficiency, comfort, and reliability compared to continued repairs.
