February 03, 2015

We have discussed common air conditioning problems, now we’d like to share problems related to heating that Kingston homeowners often call Kingston Home Services by Enercare about. Although there are quite possibly hundreds of explanations why your Kingston home’s furnace or heating system may need to be repaired. Below is a list of the top five issues that may cause your furnace or heating equipment to break down:

1. Thermostat breaks causing no heat, fan spinning or comfort problems

2. Airflow problems from fan motors, belts and bearings, causing furnace overload or poor heating control

3. Flithy and clogged filters which develops airflow and comfort problems

4. Pilot light or furnace ignition issues, resulting in sporadic or no heat

5. Lack of maintenance may cause unanticipated breakdowns, poor comfort or increased energy costs (in addition to emmense homeowner frustration!)


Each of these common issues can be resolved by a professionally qualified, ACE-certified technician. Technicians from Kingston Home Services by Enercare can quickly diagnose the problem area and make the needed repairs. Getting a
precision tune-up or maintenance plan could protect you from almost all heating problems that leaves your home with no heat or low comfort levels. When you get a tune-up, all the components are checked and serviced so they operate correctly and at top efficiency during the heating season. Important items like Carbon Monoxide checks, adequate combustion air, equipment clearances, and equipment safety are also top elements to the tune-up process. Don’t forget – safety first! Never forget that furnaces of any age may pose safety hazards from combustion or gases, this is particularly the case if a ACE-certified technician has not maintained the equipment regularly.
