Upper St. Clair Furnace Service Crew
If you have a gas furnace and it’s not working, double-check the pilot light. This light should always be blue. If it’s not, then set up a furnace repair with Coleman Mitchell Heating & Air Conditioning immediately. Gas furnace problems can be serious since some issues can lead to gas leaks and carbon monoxide poisoning.
When your heating unit turns off before it reaches the end of its regular cycle, this is short cycling. Causes of short cycling vary from a malfunctioning thermostat, flame sensor issues, or blocked filters. You can address the latter by swapping out the dirty air filter for a new one. However, if this doesn’t take care of the short cycling, then the problem requires further investigation. This is where we’ll come in, diagnosing the source of the problem to get you the heating repair you need in Upper St. Clair.
Your heating system will make a gentle humming sound while it cycles. Beyond this, it should not make any other sounds, so if it does, schedule service. Listen for rattling, banging, thwapping, or buzzing, to name just a few.
Buzzing can mean an electrical problem while banging could indicate an issue with the combustion process. Also pay attention to odors emanating from the system. A rotten egg smell means a gas leak. Burning smells might indicate electrical malfunction, which is a potential fire hazard. Reach out to us right away if you notice any of these.
