Reliable Heating Repairs

When you notice a potential problem with your heating, it’s important to call us right away. In the meantime, your energy costs can skyrocket, and the problem can affect other components. For homes with fuel-fired furnaces, there’s also the added concern of CO poisoning. Cracked heat exchangers, gaps in combustion chambers, and leaky exhaust systems can all let toxic gases seep into your home.

Heating Installation & Replacement

If you need an expensive repair and have an older heater, replacement may be the better path forward. It will cost more now, but save you money in the years to come. Our team installs high-efficiency solutions, including condensing furnaces and dual-fuel heat pumps.

Heat Pump Services

We provide a full range of services for heat pumps, which are increasingly popular in our region. Traditional furnaces and boilers provide heating by generating it directly. Heat pumps transfer heat energy, just like an air conditioner does. Our team services stand-alone air-source heat pumps and those paired with auxiliary furnaces in a hybrid configuration.

Signs You Need Professional Heating Service

A sudden increase in energy use can be one of the first signs that your heating system is working harder than it should. During the winter, it helps to compare your monthly fuel or electric bills to past seasons so you can spot unusual changes. If your usage rises without a clear reason, your furnace may have airflow problems, worn parts, thermostat issues, or another concern affecting efficiency. A professional diagnostic visit can help identify the cause before the problem leads to higher costs or reduced comfort.

• Unusual noises
• Uneven heating
• Short or long cycling
• Tripped circuit breakers
• Carbon monoxide alarms
• Pilot light keeps going out
• Inconsistent temperatures
• Excessive dust accumulation
• Pilot light is difficult to relight
• Pilot light burns a color other than blue

Benefits of Regular Heating Maintenance

A common mistake homeowners make is not scheduling us for service until they’re dealing with an emergency heating situation. A better approach is to schedule an annual heating tune-up. The ideal time to schedule is early in the fall before the colder weather arrives. That said, it’s better to schedule late than not at all.

During that service, we’ll perform a multipoint inspection and comprehensive cleaning of your heating equipment. We’ll correct any normal wear and tear and, if necessary, recommend proactive repairs. Replacing a worn ball bearing now, for instance, is more economical and convenient than waiting for it to fail.

• Better indoor air quality
• Valid warranty protection
• Safer and quieter operation
• Longer equipment lifespans
• Less likelihood of major repairs
• Faster and more consistent heating
• Smaller household carbon footprint
• Lower month-to-month heating bills
