If you are having issues with your furnace, heat pump, radiant heating, or geothermal heating system, the Eugene heating<\/a> technicians at Comfort Flow<\/a> can help. Many heating problems can be resolved with a minor repair, but it is important to know when it\u2019s time to call for repairs. Here are some common problems and potential causes of heating problems for the different types of systems we can repair and maintain for you.<\/p>\n

Call any time if you are experiencing these or other issues with your heater.<\/p>\n

Gas Furnace Pilot Light Won\u2019t Light<\/h3>\n

A broken pilot light is one of the more common problems with gas furnaces<\/a><\/em>, but the light may not be broken. There could be a down draft from the chimney, or another draft near the flame, that is keeping it from staying lit. There could be a clog in the valve, which should be cleaned out with a wire brush before attempting to light it again. Make sure you know how to light your pilot light on your gas furnace. Consult your owner\u2019s manual or call a technician if you aren\u2019t comfortable lighting the pilot.<\/p>\n

Heat Pump Not Turning On<\/h3>\n

Is your heat pump<\/a> not turning on in heating mode? Always first check the settings to make sure it is on the proper setting, and be sure to also check power switch. It may have been accidentally turned off, or there could be a blown fuse. Check the fuse box for a flipped switch. Also check your owner\u2019s manual for other troubleshooting tips. Call us if you cannot get your heat pump to work in heating mode.<\/p>\n

Radiant Heat Not Providing Enough Heat<\/h3>\n

If your radiant heating system isn\u2019t providing enough heat, always check the thermostat first. Make sure you understand the settings and that you have it set for the desired temperature. Try turning it up about 5 degrees and wait about ten minutes or so to see if that helped. This could mean that the accuracy of your thermostat is off and just needs to be adjusted. Check to make sure your boiler is working if this doesn\u2019t work, or call us.<\/p>\n

If everything checks out and you still can\u2019t get your heater to work properly<\/em>, call Comfort Flow<\/a>. We\u2019ll send one of our Eugene heating technicians to your home as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
