Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the frequently asked questions we get about heating repair in White Plains include:
You risk voiding the manufacturer’s warranties, could hurt yourself or others, and your insurance can deny coverage if your DIY heating repair leads to property damage. It’s not worth the risks. Trust a professional to ensure your system is repaired correctly.
Your heating unit is an expensive appliance. With regular HVAC or
furnace maintenance, your system will last longer and lower your monthly energy bills. Causes could be:
- Clogged or blocked air ducts
- Dead or dying blower capacitor
- Clogged exhaust flue
- Dirty drain lines
- Poorly installed ductwork
- Dirty filters
- Pilot ignitor broken or clogged
- Power supply or gas – make sure the gas is on and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped
- Refrigerant levels
- Thermostat or thermostat batteries
There are several reasons why some rooms have little or no heat and others do:
- Age of the unit
- Air filters are dirty
- Air duct leak
- Slow fan speed
- Kinks in the ductwork
- Wrong size unit
- Insulation problems
- Closed or blocked air vents
- Open windows or shades
There are several troubleshooting steps you can take if you have little or no heat throughout the house:
- Change dirty filters
- Check for odors — if you smell gas or burning wires, shut down the system and call us immediately
- Clean your outside HVAC system if it’s dirty
- Ensure the furnace switch is on heat setting
- Inspect your circuit breakers and power supplies to your furnace or HVAC
- Look at the furnace safety switch. If it’s off, your local heating repair professional will check several factors before turning it back on
- Look for blocked vents and ducts
- Make sure dampers are open
- Make sure the gas is on and the flame is blue
- Review the thermostat’s temperature setting. Set it slightly higher to see if the heat kicks on. Check your thermostat’s batteries and remove any dust, etc.
