How can a defective heater affect my home?

Malfunctioning heaters can result in an uncomfortable home environment and poor air quality. Poor air quality can pose health risks to your family and can even increase your energy bill.

Why is my heating system making strange noises?

Strange noises (whistling, banging, squealing, or rattling) can indicate several issues. Whistling can indicate gaps or holes in your air ducts as well as a dirty filter. Squealing can indicate a worn-out motor, belt, or bearing. Rattling indicates your heater’s internal components are loose. Banging sounds can mean that your ductwork is experiencing issues.

When should I have my heating system inspected and tuned up?

The best time to schedule heating system maintenance is in the fall, right before winter.
