When the heat goes out in Rochester Hills, MI, the clock starts running, and the diagnosis depends entirely on what kind of system is doing the failing. On a gas furnace, the most common no-heat call we run is a flame sensor coated in oxide: the burners light, the sensor cannot prove the flame, and the board shuts the gas down after the third attempt and locks out. Close behind come cracked hot surface igniters, stuck pressure switches, clogged condensate traps on high-efficiency models, and blower motors that have quietly worn out. Heat pumps fail differently: a weak defrost cycle leaves the outdoor coil buried under frost, a failed reversing valve strands the system in cooling, and a dead outdoor unit leaves the electric backup strips carrying the whole house at several times the operating cost.
Most of our service calls are for Furnace Repair. That's the place to start if you need a fix today.
When to Call for Heating Repair in Rochester Hills
Catching these issues early helps you avoid costly problems. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- Cold air, or no air at all, when the thermostat calls for heat
- Some rooms warm while others stay stubbornly cold
- A furnace that tries to light, clicks, and then quits
- An outdoor heat pump coil that stays iced over
- Short cycling every few minutes while the house stays cold
- Higher heating bills with less comfort to show for them
- Burning, musty, or rotten-egg odors when the heat runs
- A loud boom when the burners light, which points to delayed ignition
