Common Heating Problems We Repair

Throughout our years serving Garfield, Hackensack, Hasbrough, Lodi, Passaic, Saddlebrook, Edison Township, Hasbrouck Heights, Highland Park, and Woodbridge, NJ, we’ve diagnosed and repaired virtually every heating issue imaginable. Ignition system failures remain one of the most frequent problems we encounter, whether dealing with older pilot light systems or modern electronic ignition components. These failures can stem from dirty flame sensors, faulty thermocouples, or electrical issues that prevent proper ignition sequence initiation. Our senior technicians possess the expertise to quickly diagnose these problems and implement lasting solutions that restore reliable operation.

Heat exchanger cracks represent a more serious concern that demands immediate professional attention. These critical components separate combustion gases from the air circulating through your home, and when compromised, they can pose significant safety risks including carbon monoxide exposure. We utilize advanced diagnostic equipment to detect even hairline cracks that might escape visual inspection. Blower motor failures, clogged filters restricting airflow, and malfunctioning thermostats round out the most common issues we address daily. Each repair begins with our comprehensive evaluation process, ensuring we identify not just the immediate problem but any underlying issues that might cause future failures.
