Most of the time, a heating and furnace system only needs maintenance and repair. This is easily achieved with annual upkeep. From time to time, you will also need heating & furnace systems repair and service. This is where J Griffin Heating & Plumbing can step in and handle the more serious issues for you so that you have peace of mind that everything is working as it should and with a service warranty.
System maintenance and repair are very different in that one maintains normal operation and efficiency while the other returns the entire heating and furnace system to its original working order. Maintenance from J Griffin’s Heating & Plumbing experts can be scheduled annually so you don’t have to remember to schedule it on your own, but repairs are usually immediate and out of the ordinary, which means you’ll likely need to rely on your system warranty or pay out-of-pocket. Whether you need annual maintenance or need serious repairs, you’ll see why calling us for all your needs is well worth your bottom dollar.
- Complete Furnace Failure
Don’t panic. Complete furnace failure does not mean your unit is dead. It just means that something is not working as it should and needs a repair or part replacement. Unfortunately, it can also represent a more serious problem that only a thorough inspection will determine. It is important, especially in cold climates or expected inclement cold weather to call us immediately for service.
- Loud Noises
If you hear an unusual noise, it is best to always call for heating & furnace systems repair and service as a precaution. While it could be a loose screw or dirt or debris in the vents, it could also be something serious like an electrical problem, a failing blower motor, or aging parts. If the noise grows louder, it is time to call us for an inspection. We can do a maintenance check, too.
- Yellowish Pilot Light
Gas pilot lights are blue and lack any flickering. Yellowish pilot light or a change in flame appearance may represent a carbon monoxide leak, so take this sign very seriously and call us for immediate furnace attention. As carbon monoxide is likely leaking improperly into your home or business, a yellowish flame is a clear sign that the heat exchanger is corroded, cracked, or broken.
- Increase in Monthly Heating Bills
The easiest way to tell if you have a serious furnace problem or not is when you notice a spike in monthly utility usage. If unsure, you can call your utility provider and ask for a comparison of monthly or annual usage amounts. Inefficiency may also cause more usage, but we will check the usage for you in other ways by spot-checking equipment and checking if leakage is occurring.
- Aged Out Equipment
It isn’t unusual that consumers want the most bang for their bucks. When it comes to appliances, Americans want to get as many years as possible out of them due to buying costs. We get it. In the long run, however, outdated appliances and equipment could ultimately cost you more money. Annual maintenance can handle this for you and let you know when it is time to repair or replace it.
