While there are plenty of DIY projects you can tackle on your own around the house, furnace repair should never be one of them! Our HVAC team is located conveniently in the Piedmont Triad area and can visit your home in Kernersville, Winston Salem, Greensboro, and the surrounding areas to repair your furnace. You can, however, try to find out what the problem may be based on what the furnace is (or isn’t) doing.
Start With Your Thermostat
Oftentimes, furnace problems start with a thermostat that could be malfunctioning. If your furnace isn’t working, check the settings and/or the battery in your unit — you may need to replace it. There could also be corrosion or dirt causing problems. If the unit itself needs to be replaced, that’s a job for an HVAC pro.
Is It Overheating?
Dirty HVAC filters can get clogged with dust and debris, making your furnace work harder and putting undue stress on it. This could lead to overheating and long-term damage to your system, and may end up requiring replacement if left for too long without repair. Take this as a seasonal reminder to change your air filter, which is an easy task for homeowners to do, but don’t try to take apart or repair your actual furnace; that’s for us to do.
Damaged Ducts
The heated air that the furnace produces is distributed throughout your home via ductwork. If those ducts are dirty or in disrepair, air can escape through cracks or even fail to reach other rooms in the first place. This is definitely a repair that HVAC pros need to tackle; the average homeowner likely doesn’t have the skills or expertise to pinpoint and repair ductwork.
Preventing Furnace Damage
The first option for preventing furnace issues in the first place is to have one of our trained professionals perform a Seasonal Tuneup. This will help to prevent a heater repair at the most inopportune time. In addition to Seasonal Tuneups, Fire and Ice Heating and Cooling is also very skilled and highly trained in heater repair. Whether it is as complicated as a broken capacitor, condenser or compressor or as simple as a frozen coil, we can fix any problem you may have.
If your system breaks down, let us professionally repair it for you and get it back to normal. We can repair any model and any style of heater. Call us if your heating system needs to be maintained or repaired!
