Understanding Common Heating System Problems

Emergency calls often stem from predictable issues. Understanding these can help you identify a problem quickly and communicate effectively with our team. Common causes include:

• Furnace won’t start: Often due to ignition issues, a faulty thermostat, or tripped breakers.
• Intermittent heating: Systems turning off randomly may indicate a safety switch issue or airflow restriction.
• Cold air from vents: Could result from dirty filters, duct issues, or mechanical problems.
• Strange noises or smells: Rattling, whistling, or burning odors can signal worn components or safety hazards.
• Rapidly cooling home: A warning sign during extreme weather that calls for immediate attention.

Recognizing these symptoms early ensures faster response times and minimizes the risk of further damage.

What To Do When Heat Stops

Finding out that your furnace or heating system has stopped working is stressful, especially when it happens at night or on a cold day. While we handle a wide range of urgent issues, there are a few simple steps you can take that may help you stay safe and prepared before our team arrives in the Spokane area.

Here are a few safe checks you can consider before you call:

• Make sure your thermostat is set to “heat” and that the temperature is higher than the current room reading.
• Look for obvious issues like a tripped breaker for your heating system, only if your panel is easy to reach and you feel safe checking it.
• Listen for any unusual sounds or smells from your furnace, then turn the system off if you suspect a safety concern.
• Check whether other parts of your home still have power so you can describe the situation clearly when you call.

If your home is losing heat quickly, if the temperatures outside are freezing, or if you smell gas or suspect a carbon monoxide issue, treat it as an emergency. Move your family to a safe area if needed, and contact appropriate emergency services if you suspect a gas leak. Then, reach out to us so we can help address the heating side of the problem.

Even if you are not sure whether your situation counts as an emergency, you can still call (509) 790-3987. We can talk through what you are experiencing and help you decide on the right next step. Our team would rather you reach out with questions than sit at home worrying while the house gets colder.
