Boiler Installation & Repair

What are Common Heater Problems?

1. Neglecting regular maintenance for your gas heater or furnace can lead to issues in your home. At Sunnyside Plumbing, we understand that HVAC systems are often overlooked during routine chores. Without proper care, you may face reduced comfort, unexpected repairs, early replacements, and higher energy costs. Serving the Long Island area, our expert technicians provide thorough maintenance to ensure your heating system operates efficiently.
2. Issues with your furnace's pilot light or ignition system can disrupt your home's heating. Most modern heating systems use either a hot surface ignition or an intermittent pilot, and a malfunction in the ignition control can lead to inconsistent or no heat. Serving the Long Island area, Sunnyside Plumbing's expert technicians diagnose and repair these issues to restore warmth and comfort to your home efficiently.
3. Dirty or clogged air filters can restrict airflow, causing your heating system to overwork and reducing indoor air quality. A blocked filter may also trigger the limit switch controlling the fan. Sunnyside Plumbing suggests replacing your air filter monthly to fix this issue, boost efficiency, and prolong your heating system's lifespan in your home.
4. Poor circulation and airflow in your home's heating system can result from worn-out fan motors, belts, bearings, or ductwork. Without regular maintenance or timely repairs, these issues may cause your system to overheat. Sunnyside Plumbing, serving the Long Island area, offers expert services to keep your heating system's airflow optimal and efficient.
5. Is your heat pump running constantly? This might be due to environmental conditions or system issues. Designed for climates consistently below 35°F, heat pumps can overwork if equipment or ductwork is undersized, refrigerant is low, or reversing/compressor valves are faulty. Sunnyside Plumbing's skilled technicians provide expert diagnostics and repairs to ensure your heat pump operates efficiently.
6. A malfunctioning thermostat, whether smart or traditional, can disrupt your home's heating system. Issues like low battery, incorrect settings, inaccurate temperature readings, or incompatibility with your heating system can lead to discomfort and inefficiencies. Serving the Long Island area, Sunnyside Plumbing's expert technicians diagnose and fix thermostat problems to restore comfort and optimal performance.
7. Moisture buildup from poor insulation or faulty ductwork can create a breeding ground for mold in your furnace. If you notice an unusual odor, it's time to call in experts. Sunnyside Plumbing's skilled technicians can diagnose and address mold issues.
8. Your furnace, whether powered by gas, electric, or oil, needs a consistent fuel supply to operate effectively. Low fuel or delivery issues can cause suboptimal performance, leading to cold air, unusual smells, or other heating problems. Sunnyside Plumbing's skilled technicians are ready to diagnose and fix fuel-related issues to ensure your heating system runs efficiently.
9. Noticing a spike in your energy bills with your heat pump? While higher bills are expected during colder months, a sudden increase may point to issues. Minor problems like a tripped breaker in the outdoor unit or a clogged air filter, or more serious concerns such as an iced-over unit, refrigerant leaks, or a damaged compressor, could be the cause. Sunnyside Plumbing's expert technicians are here to diagnose and resolve these issues, helping you save on energy costs
