Columbia Emergency Heater Repair & Installation

When you’re experiencing a heating problem during winter, you might wonder whether you should call for emergency repairs or whether it’s safe to wait to schedule an appointment.

Here are the most common scenarios when you should call for help immediately.

Unresponsive Thermostat: If your thermostat is stuck displaying a temperature that doesn’t reflect the actual temperature in the house, check the settings and the battery to rule them out as the cause. If everything looks like it’s functioning properly, but the system still won’t respond, call for emergency help as soon as possible.
The System Makes Loud Noises: Your heater shouldn’t make loud noises when it’s running. If you suddenly hear grinding, squealing, or rattling, shut it off and call a professional HVAC technician to diagnose the problem and prevent further damage.
Your Heater Blows Cold or Lukewarm Air: A variety of issues could cause your heater to blow cold or lukewarm air, so if this happens and you can’t get the desired temperature via the thermostat, call a certified technician for help.

Our Heat Pump Services

Heat pumps are ideal for many homeowners because they provide heating and cooling in a single system. And while heat pumps generally require less maintenance than their traditional HVAC counterparts, it doesn’t mean they’re not subject to problems and failure.

Our heat pump specialists are highly trained, licensed, and certified to provide heat pump repair when you need it, even during an emergency.

Here are the most common heat pump problems that warrant calling a technician.

Iced Coil

Ice forming on the outdoor coil during heating mode isn’t usually cause for concern. However, if the ice becomes too thick and fails to defrost, something is wrong, and you should have the system inspected by a trained professional.

Poor Airflow

Your heat pump needs proper airflow to function at peak capacity. So, if ice buildup, dust, and debris block the airflow, your heat pump won’t be able to provide you with the comfort you need. Also, restricted airflow causes the system to work harder than necessary, which can cause it to fail prematurely.

Clicking Noises

It’s normal to hear clicking noises as the system shifts from heating to cooling mode; however, if the system continuously shifts between modes and you can’t get it to stop by altering the thermostat setting, call a certified technician to diagnose the problem.
