Heating Repair & Maintenance in Reno

The heating system in your home will need repairs eventually, no matter its brand, make, or model. Normal wear and tear happen, after all. The heater won’t tell you in plaintext that something is wrong, though. You might have to first notice that there is something wrong with it before you know that a repair is necessary.

Call (775) 227-0980 if you’ve noticed any of these indicators that your heating system needs to be fixed:

• No hot air: The biggest and most obvious sign that a heating system needs to be fixed might be the absence of hot or warm air. If you have centralized air in your home, put your hand up to an air vent when you have the heater running. It is probably in need of repairs if the air you feel isn’t any warmer than room temperature.
• Unusual odors: You might smell dust the first time that you turn on the heater in a while. Otherwise, it shouldn’t smell like anything. If you smell gas with a gas furnace or heater, or strange odors with an electric-based heating system, then something could be seriously wrong with it. If the smell of natural gas is strong and won’t go away, then please shut off the heating system, step outside your home, and call the fire department because it could be the first sign of a gas leak.
• New sounds: When the heater is running, it should be silent or close to it. Sometimes, you might hear a fan kick on or the furnace light itself. If you start to hear new, loud, or consistent sounds, though, it could be that a mechanical part of the heating system is damaged and needs repairs.
• Frequent cycling: Your heater should be able to reach your set temperature and maintain it without running often. If the heater cycles on and off frequently, then it might be time for an inspection from our Reno heating repair specialists.

Heating Maintenance Can Catch Problems Early

The worst heating system failures and defects don’t have to happen. With regular maintenance performed by our team at DeHart Plumbing, Heating & Air, you can help keep the chances of a heating system failure low. During a maintenance job, we might be able to spot the first signs that a part is wearing down and needs to be replaced. In other words, scheduling routine maintenance could save you money in the long run by preventing serious defects that would be more costly to repair.

Heating system maintenance should be scheduled:

• Once a year: Most home heating systems only need annual maintenance to run well.
• Twice a year: If you use the heater every day during the winter, then we recommend that you schedule maintenance before and after the season.
• More than twice a year: Households that use the heater year-round should consider three or more maintenance jobs per year.

Our Reno heating maintenance technicians are here to make sure that you get the service that you want and need. We won't pressure you into pointless upsells and upgrades. If annual maintenance is all your heating or HVAC system needs to run well, then that’s what we’ll recommend.
