Common Heating Problems We Fix
Furnace Won’t Start or Ignite
When your furnace fails to start, several components could be at fault. Thermostat issues including dead batteries, incorrect settings, or failed connections are common. Ignition system problems in modern furnaces include failed ignitors (hot surface or spark), dirty flame sensors preventing ignition, or gas valve issues. Electrical problems like tripped circuit breakers, blown fuses, or faulty wiring can prevent startup. Failed safety controls including limit switches or rollout switches may prevent operation.
Our technicians systematically diagnose the root cause testing thermostat operation and calibration, inspecting ignition components for wear or damage, verifying gas pressure and valve function, checking all electrical connections and components, and testing safety switches and controls. We carry common replacement parts for most furnace brands, enabling us to restore heat quickly.
Heat Pump Not Heating
Heat pumps operate differently than furnaces, and problems require specialized diagnosis. Common issues include reversing valve failures preventing switching to heating mode, low refrigerant from leaks reducing heating capacity, defrost control problems causing ice buildup on outdoor coil, faulty defrost board or sensors, and compressor issues preventing heat generation.
We use specialized diagnostic tools including refrigerant gauges to check charge levels, temperature probes to measure coil temperatures, electrical meters to test components, and defrost cycle monitoring. This scientific approach ensures accurate diagnosis and effective repairs.
Insufficient Heat or Uneven Heating
If your heating system runs but doesn’t heat adequately, causes include dirty air filters severely restricting airflow, blocked or closed supply vents reducing heat distribution, dirty blower wheels reducing air circulation, duct leakage losing heated air before delivery, undersized or failing equipment unable to meet demand, and thermostat location reading incorrect temperature.
We perform comprehensive diagnostics measuring temperature rise across the heat exchanger, checking airflow at all registers, inspecting ductwork for leaks or restrictions, verifying proper system operation, and assessing whether equipment is properly sized. This identifies whether you need repairs, ductwork improvements, or system replacement.
Strange Noises from Heating System
Unusual sounds indicate specific problems requiring attention. Loud booming or banging suggests delayed ignition in gas furnaces requiring cleaning or adjustment. Squealing or screeching points to blower motor bearing failure or belt problems. Rattling indicates loose components, ductwork issues, or debris in the blower. Clicking sounds suggest electrical relay problems or failing controls. Rumbling after shutdown may indicate a cracked heat exchanger, a serious safety concern.
Our technicians identify the exact source through careful listening and inspection, providing targeted repairs to eliminate noise and address underlying problems.
Short Cycling
Short cycling occurs when your heating system turns on and off rapidly without completing proper heating cycles. This wastes energy, reduces comfort, and damages components. Causes include dirty air filters causing overheating, failed limit switches, oversized equipment cooling too quickly, thermostat problems with poor location or calibration, and flame sensor issues in gas furnaces.
We diagnose the specific cause and implement solutions ranging from simple filter replacement to component repairs, ensuring efficient operation and preventing premature equipment failure
Gas Furnace Safety Concerns
Certain furnace problems require immediate professional attention for safety. Yellow or flickering flames instead of steady blue indicate incomplete combustion potentially producing carbon monoxide. Soot around the furnace suggests combustion problems. Strong gas odors indicate leaks requiring immediate shutoff and repair. Cracked heat exchangers can leak carbon monoxide into your home. Blocked venting prevents proper exhaust removal.
We treat all safety concerns with utmost seriousness, performing thorough inspections including combustion analysis, carbon monoxide testing, heat exchanger inspection, and vent system verification. We never compromise on safety.
Our Heating Repair Process
Rapid Response
When you call for heating repair, we understand you need heat restored quickly. We offer same-day service throughout Santa Clarita Valley for most calls received before 3 PM. Our service vehicles carry extensive parts inventory for common repairs. We’re available full day daily including weekends because heating emergencies don’t follow business hours.
Thorough Diagnosis
Our technicians arrive with advanced diagnostic equipment and follow systematic procedures to identify problems accurately. We don’t guess, we test. Our diagnostic process includes visual inspection of all components, electrical testing of controls and safety devices, combustion analysis for gas furnaces, refrigerant testing for heat pumps, airflow measurement and duct inspection, and safety systems verification.
We explain findings clearly using plain language, provide upfront pricing before beginning repairs, and answer all questions about necessary work.
Quality Repairs with Warranty
We use OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer parts or premium aftermarket equivalents ensuring reliability and longevity. Every repair includes our workmanship warranty, and parts carry manufacturer warranties. We test systems thoroughly after repairs verifying proper operation, safety controls function, airflow and temperature, and efficiency before leaving your home.
Repair vs. Replacement Guidance
Sometimes repair makes sense; sometimes replacement proves more economical. We help you make informed decisions based on system age with units over 15-20 years old often warranting replacement, repair cost relative to replacement following the fifty percent rule suggesting replacement if repair exceeds half the cost of new equipment, frequency of repairs with multiple repairs annually indicating declining reliability, efficiency with newer systems using significantly less energy, and safety concerns particularly with cracked heat exchangers or persistent carbon monoxide issues.
We provide honest recommendations without pressure. If your system makes financial sense to repair, we’ll fix it properly. If replacement offers better long-term value, we explain why and provide options.
Brands We Service
Our technicians have extensive experience repairing all major heating system brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Bryant, American Standard, York, Coleman, Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, and Bosch. Whether you have a gas furnace, heat pump, electric heating, or dual fuel system, we have the expertise to diagnose and repair it.
Preventive Maintenance Prevents Breakdowns
Most heating system failures are preventable with regular maintenance. Our maintenance plans include annual tune-ups before heating season, priority scheduling when you need repairs, discounted repair rates, and extended warranties on parts and labor. Regular maintenance catches problems early, improves efficiency, extends system lifespan, and dramatically reduces emergency repairs. Ask about our maintenance plans when scheduling your repair.
