That means having a heater that is capable of heating your house in an effective and dependable manner. But the truth is that no heating system is ever going to be 100% reliable. If and when your heater needs repairs, contact a member of our team right away.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you&#8217;ll have your heater repaired before it really suffers any major damages or breaks down entirely. Not every repair need is going to be something\u00a0<em>major<\/em>, but all repairs do need to be handled promptly. Here are a few of the more common issues that homeowners encounter. Let us know if you require <a href=\"\/heating\/heater-repair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">heating repair in Washington, DC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Low Airflow<\/h3>\n<p>Does it seem like your forced air heating system just isn&#8217;t pumping out the heated air like it usually does? You could simply have a dirty air filter, which is a problem that you can resolve on your own. The air filter in most systems should be changed every 1\u20133 months, but many factors will influence this. Check in\u00a0on your filter frequently. If that&#8217;s not the problem, you could also have leaky ductwork. This\u00a0<em>will\u00a0<\/em>require professional <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\/ductwork-sheet-metal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">duct repair\/duct sealing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Pilot\/Ignition Issues<\/h3>\n<p>Is your heater not heating at all?\u00a0The problem may be with the combustion of the fuel that it uses. More specifically, you may be experiencing problems with a pilot that won&#8217;t spark the fuel into combustion, or a hot surface ignition system that is not heating enough to ignite the gas. Whatever the case, you really don&#8217;t want to sit on such problems. Not only will you be cold and uncomfortable, but\u00a0<em>any<\/em> issues with fuel and combustion have the potential to create unsafe operating conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>Short-Cycling<\/h3>\n<p>Is your heater starting up just fine, but shutting back down in a rapid fashion? This is called short-cycling, and it can do real damage to your system over time. It also decimates energy efficiency. A heat pump with a refrigerant leak or a heater that is overheating for any reason may experience short cycling.
