The biggest problem that many people face when it comes to an issue with their heater is that there is usually little to no warning. By the time a problem is noticed, it’s too late, and you are left in the cold. Calling a trusted furnace technician is the best option for having a speedy diagnosis and repair.
Once you make the call, the technician will provide a timeframe for your appointment. It’s helpful to have someone familiar with the house or unit is there when the technician comes to your home. This allows for an explanation of the furnace’s behavior.
Many technicians carry a device that is capable of performing onboard diagnostics tests for your HVAC equipment. Onboard computer chips contain information about the unit’s performance. If your system is compatible with this kind of testing, diagnosis takes just moments.
Older units may require a more hands-on approach. The technician will manually search for a problem by examining electrical components, hoses, vents, filters, and all other pieces and parts based on the unit and its behavior.
Your technician will share the information found in their diagnosis and explain your repair options . In many cases, it can be as simple as a small electrical component like a fuse, breaker, or relay that has shorted and the repair can be performed in minutes, problem solved.
Other common problems like a cracked heat exchanger, pilot control issues, a frayed belt, and more can be a little more complex but can still be resolved quickly. While your technician should be equipped with universal replacement parts and tools for installation, unit-specific parts may need to be ordered for your unit which can cause a delay.
In some cases, your unit may have issues that are not worth the repair and call for a replacement of the entire unit. This can happen if you have an old unit or problems in which parts and labor exceed the cost of a new unit. If this is the case, you will have to do some shopping and research before you can remedy the issue. Shop around for the best price and value of anew unit and have it installed by a technician.
