Watch Out for a Residential Heating Emergency

Posted on: December 2, 2017

Heating Emergency

There is nothing worse than waking up on a cold winter morning to find out that heat is not pumping through the home and that residential heating repair is necessary. We get these calls on a regular basis and understand how alarming it is for families, especially those who have children or elderly persons living in the home. Fortunately, we are here and ready to help.

Call us right away

We encourage people to call our office as soon as there is an emergency. There is truly no need to wait even if the heating goes out on the weekend. We understand that there is absolutely no way to predict when something like this will happen and so we offer service calls at off hours and times. If that means coming out on a Saturday, that is okay. Our goal is to help our customers to be comfortable regardless of what day it is.

Affordability

In most cases, the repair is rather simple. It can be something like switching out an old part, re-lighting the pilot light or switching out something that was installed incorrectly by the homeowner. In other words, most residential heating repair jobs can be completed quickly and affordably. We hear from a lot of people that they are concerned about calling because of the cost.

While it is certainly true that completely replacing a heating unit could be pricey, most of the time this is absolutely not necessary. Simple repairs can be done sometimes in under an hour which means that they are very affordable. Since we complete these repairs on a daily basis, our crew knows what to look for and moves with speed and efficiency which reduces the amount of time it takes and makes a call even more affordable than hiring a less experienced company.

We are always transparent with our pricing, work to be fair and get the job done in an efficient manner so that our customers can be as comfortable as possible and afford the service.

Reasons to call

Some of the reasons people call our office and schedule a residential heating repair are:

  • Inconsistent temperature
  • Heat not coming on
  • Strange smells or noises coming from the HVAC unit
  • Thermostat not appearing to work

These are the most common reasons that people call us for a service appointment. However, we invite homeowners to call us regardless of what the problem is with their heat. We can come out, assess the problem and determine what will be necessary to fix it. We will then explain what we want to do and can prepare a bid at that point. We can usually complete the repair immediately.

New unit

In most cases, it is not necessary to replace the heating unit. Simple repairs all that is required. However, if the repair work would be more extensive or costly than simply replacing the unit, we will let a homeowner know that they have both options to consider. In that situation, we can repair or replace the unit, based on the wishes a homeowner.

Call immediately

Do not live with inconsistent temperatures in your home or a heating unit that is not working properly. We can help and encourage you to call today so that we can.
