HVAC Maintenance and Design Tips for Swimming Pools and Gyms

Every home has different types of heating needs, and the systems installed in these homes are different. Therefore, there are specific needs that you might want to consider when it comes to the heating problems that cause your system to stop working during the winter months. Problems with the different types of heating systems that are installed in modern homes include:

Heat Pump HVAC System Heating Problems 

A heat pump HVAC system is a popular choice for homeowners because it provides both heating and air conditioning. Unfortunately, it also can have some problems that other systems don't have.

Because the outside unit for a heat pump HVAC system works by pulling in cool air from the outside, it's likely to make some noise as it operates. It will turn on and off as the temperature fluctuates, which will be noticeable even if you don't notice the actual temperature fluctuation in your home.

If you don't like the noise of your heat pump while it's on, consider turning down the thermostat on your heating system or setting up a programmable thermostat so that it only runs at certain times of the day.

If you're trying to sleep at night and your heat pump is making too much noise, call a professional. They can also help with other issues, such as low refrigerant due to leaks or issues with the compressor.

Issues with Oil and Gas Furnaces 

A common issue with oil and gas furnaces is a pilot light that is out. If the pilot light goes out, the furnace will not work properly. Gas and oil furnaces require a pilot light to ignite the burners appropriately. In most cases, the pilot light can be relit or replaced quickly.

If there is a problem with the thermostat on your gas or oil furnace, then it will not heat properly. You should check that the thermostat is set at the correct temperature and that it is linked to the burner properly. If there seems to be no problem with the thermostat and your furnace still will not turn on, then it could be a problem with the electric wiring or thermocouple of your furnace.

Problems with Your Electric Furnace 

Electric furnaces are usually installed in a house during construction, but they can be added to an existing structure as well. These heating units fail for many reasons, so it's important to know how to identify different types of problems.

A full-blown furnace failure can occur when the furnace completely stops working and does not generate any heat at all. A defective thermostat or freon leak can lead to this type of failure if the problem is not remedied quickly. After a week of continuous use, you will notice that your home is steadily becoming colder. This is the time when you should contact your furnace repair contractors immediately.

If your furnace does not generate enough heat, then there might be a problem with the thermostat or blower system. The thermostat may be malfunctioning and incorrectly sensing the temperature or preventing the furnace from turning on. The blower motor may also need maintenance or repairs if it continues to run after the thermostat says that it's too cool in your home. In addition to these issues, there could also be some other problems with the wiring or electrical circuits of the furnace itself.

The problems with your heating are issues that you want to solve quickly for the safety of your family. Contact a local heating repair service to get the help you need fixing your heating when it goes out this winter.
