How Can Berkeley Heights Homeowners Avoid Heating System Breakdowns and Expensive Repairs?
When your home is suddenly without heat the first thing you often fear is your furnace or boiler has broken down. But that’s usually not the case. Stashluk has helped Union, Morris and Essex County area homeowners with heating repairs for over 70 years, saving them time and money by avoiding serious heating problems with our annual safety check plans. Here we’ve outlined some common heating issues that range from easy fixes to others that require the services of a Stashluk professional.
Clogged and dusty air filters that decrease performance.
If your furnace isn’t producing heat like it should, check to make sure the air filter isn’t clogged with dirt. Filters should be changed on a regular basis to help avoid much bigger problems to your furnace and HVAC system, such as a cracked heat exchanger, which is one of the leading causes of carbon monoxide poisoning. For other maintenance tasks it’s best to call a professional like Stashluk. If your home is heated by a steam system, we can flush and clean the system so that it runs at peak performance. We can also make sure that your exhaust or vent piping is clear and not blocked or clogged, which can pose a great danger to your family.
“Is there anything I can do to fix my heating system?”
Plenty! Some things are simple to fix. For example, if the heat’s not coming up the heating system simply may not be turned on. Check the service switch that is usually located on the side or just above the furnace to see that is in the “on” position. Or, the main red emergency off switch may have been turned off in the house (frequently found at the top of your staircase, also called a firemen switch). If the heating system seems to be turned on, then maybe one of the following is the culprit:
- Your thermostat is still set to “Cool” mode, thus your heat will not turn on.
- Are all of your heating zones turned on? You may have more than one thermostat.
- Make sure your circuit breaker in the main electrical panel isn’t tripped.
- Your thermostat battery is dead. This is a simple fix as long as you know where your battery is located. Refer to your thermostat’s owner’s manual. A blank or dark panel on your thermostat may indicate your backup battery in the thermostat is dead. The backup battery is for memory on certain models and a low or dead battery will not turn on your heat.
Problems of a more serious nature include equipment failures that require the expertise of an experienced technician who is highly trained in working with furnaces and heating systems. True equipment failures can be big or small. A shut-down caused by a safety switch usually means something more serious is wrong and needs to be addressed by a licensed certified technician like Stashluk. When this happens do not attempt to reset your system.
If the problem seems to be connected to any of these issues, call Stashluk and we’ll send a service technician to take a look at your heating system. Even better, to make sure your heating system is operating at optimum efficiency schedule an annual safety check. Stashluk’s annual heating inspection includes:
- Inspection of chimney base and flue piping
- Inspection of all electric connections and components
- Inspection of heat exchanger and burners
- Inspection and test of operation of all safety components
