High Quality Furnace Repair in Houston, TX
Your furnace may run flawlessly for years without any problems. Most people don’t give it much thought until they don’t have heat, but it’s important to pay attention to your heater. Some issues don’t only lead to a lack of comfort. They can put your safety at risk, especially if there is a gas leak, ventilation problem, or damage to the pilot light or ignition system. A malfunctioning furnace can be a fire or carbon monoxide hazard.
When you need emergency furnace service, contact Village Plumbing & Air. We have technicians on staff who are on call 24/7. They arrive at your home promptly and travel with the parts and tools needed to determine what’s wrong and fix it in one visit. It’s sometimes hard to tell if your furnace problem is an emergency, but immediate repair is necessary if the furnace:
- Won’t Turn On: A power issue, problem with the gas line, or a damaged electrical heating element can prevent the unit from turning on. Major breakdowns sometimes require replacement. You can avoid breakdowns by regularly having your furnace maintained and tuned up.
- Makes Noise: Call right away if there are unusual noises. Grinding can mean motor bearings are worn, while rumbling means the fuel is still burning after a cycle is complete. If your furnace makes thumping sounds, a motor or blower wheel may be loose. Frequent popping sounds can mean the heat exchanger is cracked.
- Overheats: Typically, a sensor enables a furnace to turn off if it starts overheating. A frequent cause is a broken sensor or blockage; the unit will become too hot if it runs continuously and won’t turn off. An overheated furnace can break down and even be a fire hazard.
- Releases Unusual Odors: Furnace odors that may indicate an emergency include metallic smells, which can mean internal parts are too hot. A rotten egg smell means there’s a natural gas or potential carbon monoxide leak, while chemical odors can indicate heat exchanger damage (often a formaldehyde-like smell).
Other Signs of Heater Problems
If a furnace or heat pump isn’t working, the temperature in your home may fluctuate or be uneven from room to room. The heat may fail entirely and you may notice low air pressure from air vents. Higher energy bills can mean the system is running inefficiently. And if you smell gas or notice symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure, such as headache, dizziness, vomiting, weakness, chest pain, or confusion, leave your home immediately and call for help.
