Going without heat during a cold winter month is no one’s idea of a good time. Unfortunately, heaters break and, usually, at the most inopportune time. When your heater isn’t working properly or at all, you need to call a reliable emergency heating company. You need to call Sky HVAC. What makes us so reliable? Well, we actually answer the phones, which means we are able to send a technician to your home quickly. We also practice flat-rate pricing, so you know what the repair will cost before any work is done.
Not repairing your heater when you need to can have severe consequences. What can have equally dangerous consequences is not knowing when your heater needs repair.
Here are a few things to look out for that will tell you it’s time to call for heater repair:
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night cold? Probably. It’s likely you grabbed a blanket, pulled it tight, and went right back to sleep. However, in the dead of winter, an extra blanket may not be enough, and if your heater isn’t working or isn’t working properly, it will only become colder inside. Young children and the elderly are especially susceptible to cold temperatures.
Some signs of frostbite include:
Some signs of hypothermia include:
We mention these signs of frostbite and hypothermia not to scare you but to make you aware of the importance of acting immediately when your heater breaks or isn’t warming your home properly. There is also a very real possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning if the heater is malfunctioning. Aside from health risks, it is simply uncomfortable to have to bundle up inside your own home!
Proper heating system maintenance can prevent or postpone the need for heater repairs. That’s why your heater must be inspected and tuned up by a trusted heating contractor at least once a year.
Here’s an idea of what you can expect from a regular heater maintenance service call:
A big problem with heaters is the fact that they are only used in the winter months. This means that for the rest of the year these appliances sit and collect dust as well as electrical problems. Before the weather gets to be too cold, consider having us inspect your heater. This will alert you to any problems before the temperature drops and will give you peace of mind that your family is safe.
