5 Signs You Need Central Heating Repair Services

You may not know much about fixing your indoor heating equipment, but you can tell when something is wrong with it. Here are some of the most common signs that you need to call a professional for heating repair in Las Vegas Valley, NV:

  • No heat: Don’t panic if your heater is not blowing warm air. First, check the thermostat setting and the power source. If you have a gas furnace, look at the pilot light. If everything seems to be fine and your heater still doesn’t work, call us anytime.
  • Not enough heat: Your heater may be running non-stop, but the house is still cold. Try changing the filter and opening the vents. If that doesn’t work, you may need to call us for heating repair.
  • Strange noises: Your heater should never make any weird noises. If it does, something may be loose, worn out, or broken altogether. To avoid more damage, turn off the system and call us as soon as you hear any squealing, banging, or rattling sounds from it.
  • Short-cycling: If your heater is turning on and off too often, it may be getting too hot and shutting down. This could also indicate a problem with your thermostat or some other component. Our heating repair technicians can figure out what’s wrong and fix it for you.
  • Increased energy bills: Your heating bills may go up a bit when it’s cold outside, but if they skyrocket for no reason, your heater may need some TLC or more serious repairs to run more efficiently.

Types of Central Heating Equipment We Repair

The pros at Active Plumbing & Air Conditioning repairs are well-versed with every kind of indoor heating system out there and all types of unique or common heating problems:

If your furnace is having a problem starting or staying or if the ignition or pilot light fails, it may not heat your home properly. The unit may also lose efficiency over time or cause health issues if the air filter is clogged with dust and debris. If you notice any of these issues, don’t hesitate to call us for heating repair.

Heat pumps are versatile systems that provide both heating and cooling. But if there is a refrigerant leak or the compressor is malfunctioning, the pump may not heat your home sufficiently. Maybe the reversing valve is faulty and you’re having trouble switching between modes, or the coils are dirty or frozen which is resulting in low airflow or poor performance. We can address any of these breakdowns within one visit to ensure your home’s heating pump is running the right way all year round.

Boilers use water or steam to distribute heat throughout your home, but if your boiler is subjected to low water pressure or a leaky pipe, it may not produce enough heat or hot water. Some other issues Las Vegas Valley homeowners frequently face with their boilers are unusually loud noises. If your boiler has a problem with scaling or overheating, it could be making a rumbling or whistling noise commonly known as “kettling” (to describe the sound of a boiling kettle).

The thing with boilers is, it’s not just the heating unit itself that could be responsible for the problem – it could be your radiator or even the baseboards. Give us a call and we will check what’s wrong, swiftly identifying and resolving any issues to prevent further damage. If you live in an area where hard water and limescale formation are common, we could install a water softener as well.

All gas heating systems, whether space heaters, wall heaters, or unit heaters, require proper maintenance and occasional repairs. If you suspect there’s something wrong with the vents or the gas valve, contact professionals to prevent the risk of gas or carbon monoxide leaks. A less serious issue with gas heaters tends to be the fan or blower not working. Whatever the sign, we can check and repair it the same day in most cases.

We love ductless mini-split systems as they offer both heating and cooling solutions for separate rooms or zones. We also know all the different ways these heaters can break down and how to fix them: malfunctioning sensors, refrigerant leaks, worn-out compressor, frozen coils, dirty filters, and more.

While central air conditioners primarily focus on cooling, they also play a crucial role in heating during transitional seasons. Your central AC may not effectively provide heat if the thermostat is faulty or the motor, air handler or fan is not working. At the same time, your monthly electric bill may rise. 

If you don’t routinely get the ductwork and filters cleaned out, they could cause your air conditioning system to start working twice as hard. Not to mention all the health issues and allergies that can come with having contaminated indoor air quality or poor air supply due to clogged up filters.

Let our HVAC experts have a look at the air conditioner system to ensure the air supply and the cooling systems are working right. If it’s not, we have to expertise to restore its efficiency and comfort as well as help improve indoor air quality. As leading Las Vegas Valley HVAC contractors, we also offer AC installation when you need a new system, AC maintenance to ensure your air conditioner working stays in order, AC repair and emergency services to homeowners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Are HVAC Units on Top of Houses in Las Vegas Valley?

That depends on what’s wrong with your heating system. Some problems are easy to fix, like changing a dirty filter or resetting a thermostat; others are more complicated, like fixing a refrigerant leak or replacing a compressor. In the majority of cases, we are able to turn the heat back on within 1-4 hours.

Yes, we do. We have the experience installing, repairing, and maintaining all brands and models of gas furnaces, including Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Rheem, and more. Whether you need a routine tune-up, a major overhaul, or an emergency fix, we can help.

The average lifespan is about 15 to 20 years, but it can vary depending on the quality of the furnace and how you take care of it. Gas furnaces tend to last longer than electric furnaces, but they also need more regular maintenance and inspections. The harsh climate and hard water in Las Vegas Valley can also affect the performance and longevity of your furnace.

What Temperature Should I Set My HVAC System to?

There are several possible reasons why your furnace is leaking water. If you have a conventional furnace that has a metal heat exchanger, it may leak water if the heat exchanger is cracked or rusted. Or if there is a humidifier attached to your furnace, it may leak water if it is not installed or maintained properly. Whenever you see water leaking from the unit, turn off the furnace and call us ASAP.

It could be that the air is escaping through a hole or gap in your ductwork or vents, and creating that hissing noise. Sometimes when there is a crack or loose connection in your gas line or valve, that may also create this type of sound. Another reason is too much pressure in your boiler system due to overheating or blockage, and the pressure relief valve is opening to release the excess pressure and prevent damage to the boiler.

Reach out to us today if:
  • The system is not heating at all or is heating very poorly
  • It is making loud or unusual noises, such as banging, clanging, screeching, or hissing
  • It is leaking water, gas, or carbon monoxide
  • It is showing signs of overheating, like smoke, steam, or flames
  • It is tripping the circuit breaker or blowing fuses repeatedly
If you encounter any of these situations, turn off your furnace, boiler, or heat pump and call us immediately. We will give you a fixed repair price in advance so you won’t be surprised with the final bill. If you are afraid that you may need a possible replacement for your home’s heating equipment – know that our technicians always lean towards repairing it if it is a cost-effective proposition. Schedule your service visit online or call us at (702) 887-1971.
