When it comes to your heaters, you would not want to be caught off-guard especially with repair and maintenance. A broken down heater or furnace can cause a lot of inconvenience and discomfort for you and your family, especially during the peak cold season.

Ideally, you should get your heater checked out just before you start using it for winter heating. The best time for this is at the tail end of the summer, so that while you still don’t have an urgent need for it, you can already get whatever issue fixed way ahead of winter. It would also be great, as an added maintenance measure, to give it one last thorough look before you shut it down for the warmer months. At least you can get any problems fixed before you shut it down, or be able to anticipate what things you’ll need to get done by way of heating repair in the future. That said, here are some of the more common issues you should keep an eye out for. Pilot Light This is the main indicator for your heater. If this does not light even after you’ve made sure there is sufficient gas for it, then it’s a job that’s best approached with expert knowledge. It could be “just” a broken light, but this is an important part of the system. There could be a more serious problem regarding your electronic ignition. Stuck on Power Sometimes, your heater will get stuck in the “On” position and it will continue blowing heated air despite turning it off. In this scenario, the possibilities could include a broken thermostat or a malfunctioning furnace blower. Depending on the finding, you may need to replace the thermostat in order to fix this problem. Faulty Fans Here’s another part that is mostly reliant on the thermostat. Sometimes, it’s just a matter of getting the filters cleaned or replaced. If that doesn’t solve it, though, it could be due to a much bigger problem inside like a broken belt or loose screws. Uneven Heat Your home should be getting an even distribution of heat all throughout. If you feel that only a particular section is getting heat, then you should call for proper heating repair from heating technicians in Myrtle Beach. The issues can be narrowed down to two things: air filters and faulty ductwork. Again, if it’s just the filters, you can easily deal with that on your own. However, ductwork issues will need a more thorough inspection by professionals, so make sure to call them ASAP if you feel any inconsistency with the heat from your unit.
