Electrical System Problem Areas
You will need to call on a heating repairs service if your heater is experiencing problems with electrical components. These can include:
Fan motors, which include indoor air circulating and outdoor compressor fans. Dust buildup or outdoor weather conditions often contribute to their failure.
Capacitors, which help your HVAC motors start from being totally off. They can weaken over time, causing your motor to run hot and eventually to stop running completely
.Circuit boards, which control the operation of a furnace and monitors its safety functions. Solders can decay or be damaged by debris, which can cause a variety of problems, including a complete furnace shutdown.
Gas valves in gas furnaces, which can get stuck from sitting unused all summer. A stuck valve means no heat.
The compressor, which is the outdoor part of an HVAC system, can be damaged by electrical storms or fail due to problems with other components, such as the fan motor. It will need to be checked if it gets louder or decreases in performance.
Piping Problems
Heating systems can need repairs or replacement to various pipes in the system. Indoor and outdoor coils are heat transferring systems, which can become worn from the vibration of the compressor or spring a leak. Other problems can occur in the refrigerant metering device or the reversing valve, which switches the system from cooling to heating and back.
