In Livermore, we get lots of calls from customers with furnaces that are making loud noises, blowing cold air, not producing any heat, or just not working at all. It could be a number of reasons from a dirty filter, no natural gas provided to the home or it has suffered a break down due to poor maintenance.

Our trucks are fully stocked with common repair parts so our technicians can fix your heating system on the first visit.

Here are some of the most common heating system problems and complaints:

1. Lack of Maintenance
   Regular maintenance from a licensed contractor is a must.
2. Dirty Filter
   It should be changed every 3 months.
3. Pilot Or Ignition System Failure
   Dirt and poor maintenance is the main cause of failure.
4. Thermostat Malfunction
   Check and change the batteries, thermometer with a 7-day program will save you money on utility bills.
5. Mechanical Wear and Tear
   Most systems are made to last 15 to 20 years depending on the climate. It’s always a good idea to have a safety service done every year to keep your family safe.
6. Unusual Furnace/Heater Noises
   Odd noises could be an indication of mechanical failure, motor bearing orb other. Replacing a motor, bearing, or fan blade may be needed to fix the problem. It’s not a good idea to ignore these warning signs.
7. Blown Fuses or Tripped Breakers
   The most common reason for a blown fuse or breaker is a heater or furnace that is being overworked or one that is not sized properly.
8. Dirty Heat Exchanger or Evaporator Coil
   Lack of regular maintenance is most likely the cause of this. Dirt and debris can clog the system and significantly reduced the efficiency and shorten the life span.
9. Blower Runs Continuously
   This can happen for a few reasons, a tripped and bad safety switch, fan on at the thermostat, or summer switch. Check the thermostat setting before you make a call for service.
10. Water Leaks
    If you have a high-efficiency gas furnace it could have a backed-up condensate or cracked drain line. A service technician can determine the source of the problem.
