Pleasanton Heater, Furnace & Heat Pump Repair

If your heater’s not working on a chilly Pleasanton winter day, there are a few things you can check on your own before scheduling professional repair:

• Blocked vents: Your problem may be as simple as furniture or a rug blocking air from exiting the vents, or a closed register.
• Dirty air filter: A clogged air filter could cause your heater to work inefficiently or stop working completely. 
• Thermostat settings: Check your thermostat settings and the battery. 
• Pilot light problems: If you have a gas furnace, check that the pilot light is lit. If it’s not lit, the furnace can’t heat your home.
• No power: If your heater is electric, check for a tripped breaker that may have cut power to the heater.

Sometimes, we may recommend replacing your older heater instead of scheduling another repair in Pleasanton. Most furnaces and heat pumps have a service life of 10 to 20 years, depending on the type of heater and its overall maintenance. Some common signs it’s time to replace your aging heater include:

• Frequent breakdowns: It’s stressful living with a heater that frequently breaks down, not to mention cold and uncomfortable. 
• High repair costs: Spending money on a failing heater doesn’t make sense, especially if the costs are high. 
• Poor energy efficiency: Upgrading your older heater saves you money on your heating bills while reducing your home’s environmental impact. 
• Safety concerns: If you’ve noticed signs that your heater may develop a dangerous gas leak or electrical problems, replace it as soon as possible.
• Technology upgrades: Newer heaters have exciting new technological features, such as smart home integration, zoning capabilities, and programmable thermostats. Upgrading gives you access to these energy-saving, comfort-improving technologies.
