Glendale, Arizona is an area well known for its hot summers and its comfortable temperatures during the winter months. That doesn’t mean, however, that it never gets cold in Glendale during the winter. Winter temperatures between October and April have been known to fall below freezing, even as low as 19 degrees. Because of this, homeowners need to keep their heating systems in good working order.
Kinds of Heating Maintenance Services a Homeowner Needs
Whether a home is heated using a gas furnace or a heat pump, there are some maintenance tasks that should be done annually, preferably before the temperatures drop. The thermostat, filters, and motors should be inspected in a gas furnace. A heat pump’s thermostat, the motor that powers its blower and its compressor, need to be checked.
Furnaces specifically need to be checked to ensure there are no gas leaks. The pilot light also needs to be inspected. Heat pump circuit boards, coils and defrost controls must also be in good working order to assure that the home will be heated effectively and safely. Control boards and sensors for both gas furnaces and heat pumps should be evaluated to make sure they’re working properly.
Signs a Heating System Needs to be Replaced
Eventually, Heating Replacement in Glendale AZ will be necessary for either the heating system’s components or the entire system itself. The age of the system has an impact on its effectiveness.
However, even if a heat pump or gas furnace doesn’t seem to be that old, frequent repairs and “cold spots” or inefficient heating in certain areas of the home likely mean that at least important components of the system aren’t working properly. Additionally, a gas furnace flame that burns primarily yellow means that dangerous carbon monoxide is present.
