Signs You Need Heating Repair

Aside from your heat not working at all, there are some signs to watch for if you suspect that your furnace, boiler, heat pump, or hybrid heating system is on the fritz:

  • There are sounds such as banging, whistling, or groaning from your heater.
  • Your heater is on but not providing enough heat.
  • Your heater turns on and off more often than usual, known as short-cycling.
  • Strange smells indicate an issue, especially a burning or musty odor.
  • Your energy bills are suddenly much higher than usual, which could mean your heater is not running efficiently.
  • A yellow or flickering pilot light means poor combustion, and it could mean the presence of carbon monoxide. This is an immediate safety concern, so call us immediately if your pilot light isn’t blue!

Common Causes of Heating Breakdowns

There are various reasons why central heating systems break down. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • Clogged air filter: Overly dirty or dusted air filters will block the furnace’s or heat pump’s airflow. Be sure to change or clean the filter at least every three months.
  • Ignition failure or fuel supply problems: Your furnace or boiler may be experiencing ignition issues if the gas line to the system is shut off, interrupted, or leaking. If the ignition sensor or pilot light doesn’t work, the system will shut down as a safety measure to stop releasing flammable gas.
  • Tripped circuit breaker: If your heater shuts off suddenly, check your home’s circuit breaker panel to see if it is tripped. If so, you need to switch it back into position to restore power to your heating system. If this issue only occurs on occasion, it isn’t something to worry about. However, if the breaker trips frequently, you should consult the Genz-Ryan team.
  • Thermostat failure: The thermostat could be your problem if the system is set to “cool” or “on” when instead it should be set to “heat.” If the thermostat is unresponsive or incorrect, you may need thermostat repair or replacement.

How long will my heating system last?

Furnaces and heat pumps will typically last 12 to 15 years before they need to be replaced. Proper furnace maintenance can maximize the service life of your system, as can quality repairs, when required.

How much do furnace repairs cost?

It will depend on the nature of the problem and the parts required to repair it. At Genz-Ryan, we will recommend the most cost-effective furnace repair options for your budget, and we will provide detailed estimates before work begins. All our services are backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

What are your most common furnace problems?

At Genz-Ryan, our most common heating problems that we encounter include faulty thermostats, igniter failures, thermocouple failures, dirty flame sensors, sooty burners, faulty fan limiters, faulty capacitors, and clogged filters. All of these are relatively minor and inexpensive to repair.

Can a cracked heat exchanger be repaired?

Because of the constant heat cycling that a heat exchanger must endure, once it’s damaged, it often cannot be repaired due to the deterioration of the surrounding metal. Installing a new heating system is often the most cost-effective option.
