Heater Repair Service

The state of Georgia isn’t normally associated with cold weather, but winter temps can drop down to the 20s and 30s without warning. To stay warm and cozy during Georgian winters, your home will need a reliable, energy-efficient heating system.

Unfortunately, all heating systems, whether they use oil, gas, or electricity, will eventually wear out and break down. And, it goes without saying that broken heaters can make winter uncomfortable and even dangerous. That’s why it’s important to have your heating system regularly inspected, maintained, and repaired.

At Young’s Mechanical, LLC, our heating repair experts have been helping Georgians since 1993. Indeed, we’ve been working in the industry for so long that our team can fix nearly every kind of home heating system. So if your heater needs repair, call us. We’ll be there in no time, examine it, figure out what’s wrong, and fix it.

We Can Repair Any Type Heating System

Our technicians are experienced in repairing all types of heating systems, from homes to commercial buildings, so you can rest assured that you’ll be ready for the winters ahead.

Among the heating systems we repair include (but are not limited to):

1. Furnaces

In a furnace (usually powered by gas), air is forced through ducts to distribute heat throughout the house. Although furnaces can heat with electricity or oil, most homes in the US use gas. One benefit of gas furnaces is that you can use the same ductwork to distribute cold air from your air conditioner during the summer months.

2. Heat Pumps

Heat pumps use outside air to heat a home in winter and cool it in summer as part of a central heating and cooling system. Although heat pumps work differently than furnaces, they still accomplish the same purpose. A heat pump uses electricity and refrigerant to draw heat from the outside air. They are more energy efficient than furnaces but don’t heat as well in areas where the temperature can drop below freezing.

3. Boilers

A boiler, which is another common heating system, heats water and distributes it through pipes to a radiator or a similar device. Unlike the heated air distributed by furnaces, boilers distribute hot water, passing it through pipes throughout the house. When the water cools, it goes back into the boiler to be reheated.

4. Hybrid Heating Systems

Many homes and businesses use hybrid systems that combine the best features of a furnace and a heat pump. To put it simply, a heat pump is used for milder temperatures while a furnace is used when the outside temperature is too cold for a heat pump to handle.

5. Ductless HVAC Systems

Ductless HVAC systems (or mini-split systems) provide consistent room comfort and are incredibly efficient. They function like an air conditioner and allow homeowners to create separate HVAC zones with separate thermostats. Ductless HVAC systems are a good option for big houses without existing ductwork.

Signs Your Heater Needs Repair

Because heaters are very delicate, they need regular maintenance. To help you determine whether your heater needs repair, below are some signs to watch out for.

High Energy Bills

Have your energy bills skyrocketed? It could be your heater. This is because when your heating system becomes less efficient over time, it may take longer to reach the right temperature in your home. It may also mean that your heating system is too old to handle the load. You should compare your current energy bill to last year's from the same period. If it's significantly higher despite having had no changes in energy consumption, give us a call.

Wonky Thermostat

Another sign that you need your heater repaired is if you constantly need to adjust the thermostat to maintain a comfortable temperature. This indicates your heater isn't working efficiently. The likely result is that you'll be paying higher utility bills during the winter.

Odd Smells

If the odd smell that you notice after turning on your heater doesn’t go away, you might have an electrical or mechanical problem. A damaged part in your heater system will typically smell like burnt plastic or rubber. Don't ignore it -- call us to inspect it right away. Ignoring it can result in the total breakdown of your heating system, or worse, a fire.

Weird Noises

If your heating system starts clanking, banging, or making other strange noises, it might be a sign that something's wrong. To be sure, it's common for heating systems to make noises every now and then, but if it sounds abnormal or loud, you should call a pro. It could mean a part has worn out or loosened, or a belt needs replacing. Call us to evaluate your system right away so you won't be left without heat!
