Heating Repair Services
Keeping your home comfortable during the winter months requires a reliable heating system. Hamilton Mechanical HVAC provides comprehensive services, including heater repairs, installation, and replacements. We can get your heating system operating smoothly when you need it most.
How Does a Heater Work?
Most residential heating systems use a furnace, heat pump, or boiler to distribute warmth. These systems either generate heat directly or transfer it from one area to another. Regular maintenance is essential to guarantee your heater runs efficiently and lasts longer.
An inefficient heater can lead to unnecessary increases in energy bills. It is best to call us for repairs and replacements as soon as possible.
How Do I Know When to Repair My Heating System?
A malfunctioning heater can show several warning signs before it breaks down completely. Here are some key indicators that your heater may need repair:
- Unusual Noises: Rattling, banging, or squealing sounds can signal mechanical issues.
- Uneven Heating: If some rooms are colder than others, there may be airflow or thermostat problems.
- Rising Energy Bills: A sudden increase in energy usage can indicate your heater is working harder than it should.
- Short Cycling: If your heater turns on and off frequently, it may be struggling to maintain temperature.
- Poor Air Quality: Dust, debris, or a burning smell coming from your vents may suggest your heater needs cleaning or repair.
- Constant Running: A heater that runs non-stop could point to a malfunctioning thermostat or internal issue.
- Yellow Pilot Light: For gas heaters, a pilot light that burns yellow instead of blue could indicate a carbon monoxide problem and should be addressed immediately.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to schedule a professional inspection to avoid more costly repairs or breakdowns. Don’t make repairs yourself, as this can be dangerous and result in injury or further damage.
Heat Pump Repair
One type of heater that may need attention is a heat pump. The main benefit of heat pumps is that they offer year-round heating and cooling by transferring warm air to areas of cool air. If your heat pump isn’t running efficiently, our team offers expert heat pump repair to resolve performance issues and make you comfortable again. For those considering a new system, we also handle heat pump installation. Proper installation and maintenance makes sure your system operates effectively.
How Do Heat Pumps Work?
Heat pumps transfer heat rather than generating it. In heating mode, they extract heat from the outside air—even in cold temperatures—and release it inside your home. In cooling mode, the process reverses, removing heat from indoors and releasing it outside. This makes heat pumps an energy-efficient alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems.
How Often Should a Heat Pump Be Serviced?
A heat pump should be serviced at least once a year, preferably before the start of the heating season. Regular heat pump maintenance helps extend the lifespan of your system and improves its energy efficiency.
Boiler Repair
Boilers are a common heater for many homes. Proper care is essential to keeping them reliable. Our team specializes in both boiler heater repair and boiler installations, addressing issues as they arise for optimal performance for new systems. If you need a new boiler or repairs to an existing one, we’re here to help.
How Do Boilers Work?
Boilers heat water using a fuel source—natural gas, oil, or electricity. The hot water or steam is then distributed through a network of pipes to radiators or radiant floor systems. As the water cools, it returns to the boiler to be reheated, creating a continuous loop. This method provides even heat distribution and can improve indoor air quality since it doesn’t circulate dust or allergens.
How Long Do Boilers Last?
On average, a boiler can last as long as 30 years with proper maintenance. Regular checkups can prevent major breakdowns and keep it running efficiently. Generally, boilers last a lot longer than alternatives like gas heaters.
Furnace Repairs
If your furnace isn’t operating as it should, we also handle furnace repairs, addressing issues like airflow problems, thermostat malfunctions, and irregular heating.
For homes requiring more than a repair, we offer furnace installation services tailored to your household needs. We’ll help you choose the right model based on factors like energy efficiency, home size, and budget. Proper installation is critical for long-term performance and reliability, and our team sets up everything correctly to maximize your furnace’s lifespan.
How Do Furnaces Work?
Furnaces heat air by burning fuel—either gas or oil—and then distributes the heated air through ducts. Furnaces are particularly effective in colder climates, where they can consistently provide strong, reliable heat during the winter months.
Gas Heater Repair
Gas heaters are an efficient way to warm your home by burning natural gas to produce heat. For homeowners experiencing issues with their existing unit, we provide comprehensive gas heater repair services. Common problems like ignition issues, burner problems, or irregular heating can be addressed quickly by a professional. We can restore your system’s performance in no-time.
If you’re considering upgrading to a more energy-efficient model, we also offer professional gas heater installation to ensure a seamless fit for your home’s heating needs. Our technicians will assess your current HVAC systems, recommend a suitable unit, and handle the full installation process to guarantee safe and reliable operation.
How Do Gas Heaters Work?
Gas heaters generate heat by burning natural gas, which warms the air. The warm air is then circulated throughout your home via ducts. These systems are known for providing fast, consistent heat and generally cost less to run than electric systems.
Is a Gas Furnace Better Than an Electric Furnace?
A gas furnace typically heats faster and costs less to operate than an electric one. However, electric furnaces may last longer and require less maintenance.
Electric Furnace Repair
We also offer electric furnace repair services for homes with existing electric furnaces. Common issues like thermostat malfunctions, faulty heating elements, or blower problems can affect your furnace’s ability to heat effectively.
Although they may have higher operating costs compared to gas furnaces, electric furnaces are generally more affordable to install and require less maintenance. If you’re considering switching to an electric system or need a replacement, our electric furnace installation services will fit it properly for efficient operation. Our technicians help you choose the right unit for your home and handle every aspect of the installation.
How Do Electric Furnaces Work?
Electric furnaces provide a reliable heating option for homes without access to natural gas. Electric furnaces use heating elements, much like a space heater, to warm air. Warm air is then circulated throughout your home via ducts. They tend to last longer than gas furnaces and have fewer parts that wear out, making them a low-maintenance option for heating.
Rooftop Unit (RTU) Repair
Rooftop units, or RTUs, are self-contained HVAC systems installed on the roofs of commercial buildings or apartment complexes. They handle heating, cooling, and ventilation by conditioning outdoor air and distributing it through the building’s ductwork. We offer RTU installation which saves indoor space since all components are housed in one unit on the roof. Rooftop units are also easy to access for repair or maintenance without disturbing indoor activities. Because RTUs combine all necessary parts—like compressors, fans, and filters—they offer an efficient solution for large spaces that require consistent climate control.
