Professional Denham Springs Furnace Repairs

While Louisiana can be warm and humid in the summer, this does not mean that the winter season is any less brutal. Depending on the area, sleet and near freezing temperatures can be extremely common during this time of year. If your furnace or heating system is not functioning properly, this weather can make you feel miserable. Fortunately, our EPA-certified technicians can diagnose your heating problem and conduct lasting heating repairs.

The average lifespan of a well-maintained furnace is typically between 15 and 20 years. Repairs can extend the current lifespan of your heating system, allowing you to enjoy a warm, toasty home for nearly two decades. When you schedule furnace repairs with UBA Heating and Cooling, our contractors will inspect your air vents, ductwork, and compressor to diagnose your issue.

Common Heating Repairs

Whether the repair is as simple as replacing the batteries in your thermostat or something more complex, our professionals are here to help find and repair the issue. Some of the common heating repairs we encounter include the following:

  • Clogged Furnace Filters: Similar to air filters for air conditioners, furnace filters can become clogged with dust, pet dander, and debris. During furnace maintenance, our technicians will replace dirty furnace filters, restoring system efficiency and functionality.
  • Strange Noises Or Smells: Abnormal odors or sounds coming from your heater is never a good sign. If you notice a change in smell or noise when your furnace is on, turn off your heating system immediately. It could be the result of a gas leak or electrical issues.
  • Carbon Monoxide Is Detected: Carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless, making it extremely difficult to detect. A carbon monoxide detector may be the only way to notice the presence of this gas in the air. Leave your house immediately and contact UBA Heating and Cooling if you suspect a carbon monoxide leak.
  • Pilot Light Changed Color: Pilot lights should always be blue. If it is yellow, it means that your furnace is in need of repair. Our contractors can safely relight pilot lights.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, it’s important to contact us as soon as possible so we can help repair the problem and get your furnace back up and running efficiently. Our experienced technicians will quickly assess the situation and provide the necessary repairs to ensure your home stays comfortable and your system operates at its best. Don’t wait until the problem worsens—reach out to us today for prompt, reliable service.

      Frequently Asked Questions About Heating Repairs

      If your heating system stops working, don’t fret. First, ensure your thermostat is set to ‘heat’ mode and not ‘cool.’ Wait a few minutes to see if the unit turns on. If it doesn’t, check the system’s power source to make sure it’s on. You should also clean the air filters and clear any obstructions from the vents. If none of these fixes work, contact our expert technicians for professional assistance.

      In Louisiana, furnace repairs often focus on issues with the heating elements or ignition system, especially during the colder months, when more strain is placed on the unit. Another common issue is clogged filters caused by dust and debris, which can restrict airflow and lower efficiency, putting more significant strain on the furnace. Wear and tear on components like thermostats and motors can also lead to system malfunctions. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are the key to optimal furnace performance in Louisiana’s diverse weather.

      If your heating system has a leak, it is important to act quickly to help minimize damage. First, we recommend turning off the system to prevent further damage and inspecting the area for visible leaks around any pipes, radiators, or the boiler. Then, place towels down to absorb any excess moisture and place a bucket under the leak if necessary. Contact one of our licensed HVAC technicians immediately to help diagnose the problem.
