Common Reasons People Call for Heating Repairs

There are many reasons why your friends and neighbors call James A. Wheat & Sons for their heating repairs, but some of the most common include:

Heating system isn’t producing any heat: If you’re not getting any heat from your system, make sure the thermostat is set to HEAT mode and to the right temperature. If the thermostat is set properly, there are several other possible causes, and your best bet is to call the experts to take a look.

Heating system isn’t producing enough heat: If your system is producing some heat, but not as much as usual, the first thing you should do is check your air filters and replace them if they’re dirty. If changing the filters doesn’t fix it, call us and we can help.

Heating system cycles on and off frequently: Short-cycling can be caused by several things, from an oversized system to undersized ducts. If you’ve changed the filter and the problem persists, call Wheat & Sons.

The blower fan seems to be running constantly: If your blower fan seems to run nonstop, make sure the fan setting on the thermostat is set to AUTO instead of ON. If it is, or if your thermostat doesn’t have a fan setting, the pros at Wheat & Sons can assess your heating system and recommend the best solution.

Heating system is noisy: If your system makes a lot of noise when it runs, it could mean the pilot needs to be adjusted, or your heating system components need oil. Whatever the case may be, we can fix it.

Pilot light is burnt out: If your furnace’s pilot light is burnt out, it needs to be relit. If you don’t know how to do this, call Wheat & Sons today.
