Heating Repair & Maintenance in Tempe, AZ

Diagnosing a Heater Issue

Heating systems can show signs of wear and tear all the time. Our team can accurately diagnose and fix these problems, while also providing routine maintenance on a yearly basis to keep them away.

Furnace Problems

Furnaces often experience issues such as:

• Dirty filters
• Malfunctioning thermostats
• Pilot light problems
• Dirty ignition
• Electrical failures

Dirty filters restrict airflow, forcing the system to work harder and reducing efficiency. Thermostat issues can lead to uneven heating or complete system failure, while ignition or pilot light problems can prevent the furnace from starting at all. Worn-out belts and bearings can also create strange noises or hinder blower operation. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, call our team today.

Heat Pump Issues

You should call us for immediate repair if you notice problems like

• Refrigerant leaks
• Strange noises
• Frozen coils
• Faulty reversing valves (the system is stuck in cooling or heating mode)
• A foul odor coming from the system

Low refrigerant levels can cause inadequate heating or cooling and damage the compressor. In cold weather, outdoor coils can freeze, especially if the defrost cycle malfunctions. Reversing valves, which switch the system between heating and cooling, may fail and cause the unit to get stuck in one mode.

Ductless Mini Split Troubles

Ductless mini splits, while efficient and flexible, can run into issues such as:

• Sensor malfunctions
• Dirty coils
• Condensate drain clogs

Sensors that are misaligned or defective can cause erratic operation. Remember, having multiple air handlers in your home means having multiple points of failure. Dirty coils can reduce efficiency and increase energy consumption, while clogged drains can lead to water leakage and even mold growth around the unit.

Why Professional Repairs Are Crucial

Attempting DIY repairs on these systems can be risky and often leads to more costly damage. HVAC systems are complex and require specialized knowledge, tools, and training. A licensed technician from our team can accurately diagnose and repair issues, ensuring safe and effective operation. Moreover, prompt professional repairs help prevent minor issues from escalating into major system failures.

Preventive maintenance is key to avoiding many of these common problems. Regular servicing includes cleaning components, checking system pressures, lubricating moving parts, and verifying overall operation. It enhances efficiency, extends equipment lifespan, and reduces the likelihood of sudden breakdowns. Ideally, maintenance should be scheduled at least once a year, typically before the heating or cooling season begins.
