Heating Repair
No-heat, short cycling, odd smells, or safety lockouts—we track down the root cause and make reliable, code-safe repairs for gas/electric furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps across Wayne and nearby towns.
Signs Your Heater Needs Service
- No heat or weak airflow
- System starts then shuts off (short cycling)
- Cold spots or poor humidity control
- Unusual noises: banging, whistling, grinding
- Burning or gas smell (shut down immediately)
- Higher bills vs. prior winters
- Thermostat unresponsive or inaccurate
- Frequent breaker trips
How We Diagnose Heating Problems
We begin with safety checks (combustion air, venting, CO risk), then verify airflow and electrical supply. For furnaces we inspect the ignition sequence, inducer/pressure switch, flame sensing, gas valve operation, blower speed and limit controls. Boilers get circulator/zone/expansion checks and venting review. Heat pumps get defrost/charge and refrigerant circuit tests. You’ll get clear findings and options before any work proceeds.
Common Repairs & What They Mean
Hot surface igniter / flame sensor — worn parts that cause failed ignition or nuisance trips.
Pressure switch / inducer — venting issues that prevent safe firing.
Limit/rollout switches — safety trips from overheating or flame misdirection.
Blower & ECM motors — airflow failures, noise, or no-heat with burner on.
Control boards/thermostats — logic or communication faults.
Boiler pumps/air in system — no-heat on zones, noisy radiators, or uneven temps.
Cost Drivers You Should Know
- Part type (sensor vs. motor/board)
- System age & availability of parts
- Accessibility (attic/crawlspace)
- After-hours or storm demand
- Boiler complexity (zoning, valves)
- Heat pump refrigerant/defrost issues
Safety Comes First
If you smell gas, suspect a cracked heat exchanger, see scorch marks, or your CO alarm sounds, shut the system down and ventilate the area. Contact emergency services if needed—we’ll follow with safe repairs.
Heating Repair FAQs
What systems do you repair?
Gas/electric furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps.
Do you offer same-day service?
Often, especially for no-heat and safety issues during cold snaps.
Could maintenance prevent this?
Yes—filters, combustion checks, and annual inspections reduce failures and improve safety.
Repair or replace?
Repair first whenever practical. Replacement is recommended for cracked heat exchangers, obsolete parts, or repeated major failures.
