What’s Included In Heating Services
No matter the heating issue, our team has you covered and can guarantee a solution to restore your home comfort. We service all brands and types of heating unit, including:
- Boilers: Boilers are efficient heating solutions for large buildings and older homes. They’re more expensive to install than furnaces but run more efficiently. We can service and install all types of boilers, but gas and oil are the most common.
- Furnaces: Furnaces are more reliable than boilers and can use the same infrastructure as your air conditioner. They’re also easier to install than boilers. Whether your furnace runs on gas, oil, or electricity, we can fix, maintain, and install it.
- Heat Pumps: Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling for your home. We love installing heat pumps, because they provide a comprehensive HVAC solution in a single unit!
- Fan Coils: Fan coils are common in larger buildings, and you can even find them in some single-family homes.
Heating Repair
Unfortunately, your heating system will require repair at times. The Ward team is prepared to quickly arrive at your home, identify the problem, and provide heating repairs to restore your home comfort. However, heating systems often show signs the unit needs repair. Being able to identify warning signs can avoid an uncomfortable situation this winter. Below are signs your heating unit needs repair in Leicester, NC and surrounding areas.
- Unusual Noises: While it is normal for your heating system to make occasional noises from time-to-time, it should not be constant. Rattling and squealing noises indicate something is wrong with your unit.
- High Energy Bills: If you notice your utility bill is unusually high,it could be due to an internal malfunction or heating obstruction. Schedule a repair soon and return your bill to normal.
- Little to No Heat: A tell-tale sign you need heating repair is little to no heat coming from your air vents. Call a Ward technician immediately if you notice this problem, because it could be due to a variety of causes such as leaky ductwork.
Heating Maintenance
Heating maintenance is a preventative service that allows a professional to inspect your system for malfunctions or obstructions. Heating units can operate with broken components or dirty air filters, which cause the whole system to function inefficiently until it breaks down. Heating maintenance is an essential service for your HVAC system, because it can provide the following benefits:
- Avoid Severe Problems: Minor problems often go unnoticed and unfixed. When you schedule regular maintenance, your HVAC professional catches these problems before they become severe.
- Maintain Efficiency: Both age and minor issues make your furnace run less efficiently. With regular maintenance, you can keep your utility bill low by ensuring your heater runs at peak performance.
- Extended Unit Lifespan: Your furnace could last up to 20 years (15 years for boilers and heat pumps) with regular maintenance. If you take care of your heater, it will take care of you.
Heating Replacement and Installation
When the time comes to replace your heating unit, Ward Plumbing, Heating, & Air technicians have you covered. We understand a new heating system is an investment for your home, which is why our team will carefully help select the perfect system. Factors such as size, budget, and heating needs should be considered when selecting a heating unit.
Most heating units last 15-20 years. If your heater is nearing its expected lifespan, it is time to start considering heating replacement to avoid an uncomfortable breakdown. Additionally, if your heating system needs frequent repairs, it’s time to consider an upgrade. Over time, these repairs cost more than you’d spend on installing a new model.
