DIY Heater Repairs

Here at Island Airco, we take the relationships we build with our customers seriously. We operate on the strict understanding that without the homeowners and businesses that choose to trust us with their HVAC services, there would be no operating at all. That’s why we do everything in our power to provide them with all of the resources they need to be in the most control over their HVAC needs.

We take an immense amount of pride in the level of HVAC service we can consistently provide, and we also strive to be a consistent and reliable source of information. To build a customer base that knows they can trust us for the long term, we do our best to give all of the Eureka Springs heater repair tips we can think of. That’s why we’ve put together this list of easy heater fixes so you can stay warm and save money!

Thermostat Troubleshooting

It might sound silly, but the average homeowner might be surprised by how many of our service calls are concluded by the simple flip of a switch or turn of a knob. While this may not represent all thermostat issues, our first suggestion when facing heater issues is to always double-check the settings.

Aside from that, it’s important to check things like batteries, if your thermostat uses them, and your breakers and fuses.

Filter Checks

One of the most common causes of sudden furnace issues is related to the filter. Without proper airflow, it becomes impossible for a heater to work at optimal efficiency — and in rare circumstances can even lead to potentially dangerous circumstances. We recommend that you change your filters at least once a year, and in some circumstances, twice.

Pilot Light Problems

First, we must stress, if you are unsure about something when dealing with an issue involving gas, immediately contact a professional. However, issues with the gas and pilot light can be addressed by the homeowner with a little bit of know-how. Your entire heating system depends on this tiny flame, so knowing how to light it in case it goes out can prove to be very beneficial.

Almost every furnace has instructions near the base that tell you the proper procedure for lighting the pilot light, and it’s generally a simple process that only requires a long lighter or match.

We highly suggest that all homeowners that utilize gas learn the locations of all gas shut-off valves. This information can be valuable if you ever smell gas and can’t locate the source.
