Signs your heater needs repair
Call us if you notice any of these this winter:
- The heat pump blows cold air in heat mode for more than a few minutes
- The system runs but the house will not warm up
- The furnace turns on and shuts off quickly
- A strong burning, electrical or plastic smell
- Loud banging, grinding or squealing
- The heat runs constantly or will not shut off
- Your carbon monoxide detector sounds (leave the home and call 911 first)
Why heating still matters in the desert
Surprise and Sun City West are known for summer heat, but winter nights regularly drop into the 30s and 40s. When the heat goes out on a cold night, it matters, especially for seniors and families with young children.
Because heating systems sit idle for most of the year, problems often show up the first cold week of the season. Dust settles on heat strips, flame sensors get dirty and parts that were fine in spring fail after months of summer heat. A fall tune-up catches most of these before you need the heat.
Safety first
Every heating repair includes a safety check. If you have a gas furnace or any gas appliance, a cracked heat exchanger or venting problem can release carbon monoxide. Every home with gas appliances should have working carbon monoxide detectors on each level. If a detector ever sounds, get everyone outside and call 911 before calling us.
