When winter is at its worse, we all expect our furnaces to see us through and keep us warm all winter long. When they break down, we panic. Our thoughts turn to getting our furnaces back online as quickly as we can. If you are handy with tools, you might believe that you can save time and money by repairing your furnace yourself, this is usually unwise. While there are some situations where you can do it yourself, most of the time, you need professional heating repairs in Lincoln, Rhode Island.

When something strange happens 

If your heating system works fine one minute, but acts weird the next, you need heating repair services. Common irregularities include strange sounds, soot deposits near the furnace, and short cycling (turning on for less than a few minutes). These problems are often signs for more severe ones, and you want to catch them sooner rather than later.  For instance, short cycling means either your furnace is overheating or you just need to readjust your thermostat.

Irregular Flame 

Properly functioning burners have even flames. If they are uneven or point to the back of your furnace, call us right way. You might have dirty burners or a cracked heat exchanger. Either way, it is a fire hazard.

Chronic illnesses 

Gasses leaking from your furnace can cause frequent headaches or flu-like symptoms. If you have these symptoms, have your heating system checked even if your carbon monoxide alarm remains silent as soon as possible.

Decline in Performance 

If rooms seem colder than normal, while others remain hotter than usual, you should call a professional. Our technicians know how to test for the most common furnace problems and how to repair them quickly and safely.

Unexplained Bill Increases 

Heating problems can cause spikes in your heating bills. Before you complain to your utility, having a professional heating repair technician look at your furnace may get your bills back to normal.

A fully working heating system does more than just keep you warm all winter long. Your health and safety are on the line as well. If your system breaks down for any reason, only experienced heating repair professionals know how to get it working again. If you expect there is a problem with your furnace, contact us sooner rather than later. We can find and repair any problem you have before they completely break your heating system.
