Restore Warmth and Safety to Your Home
A broken furnace during a cold snap is a serious problem for your family's comfort and safety. Whether your system isn't producing heat, cycling on and off, or has a faulty pilot light, you need immediate professional help. LocalXR connects you with certified HVAC technicians who can diagnose and repair furnaces, heat pumps, and boilers to restore warmth to your home.
Signs Your Heating System Needs Repair
Addressing these issues promptly can prevent a complete system failure.
No Heat or Insufficient Heat
The most obvious sign, which could be caused by a thermostat, pilot light, or furnace component failure.
Unusual Noises
Rattling, banging, or squealing sounds can indicate mechanical problems with the blower or motor.
Yellow Pilot Light
A pilot light on a gas furnace should be blue. A yellow or flickering flame can indicate a ventilation problem or excess carbon monoxide.
Frequent Cycling
If your furnace turns on and off more frequently than usual, it could be a sign of a clogged filter or improper airflow.
When to Call a Professional
For safety and to prevent costly damage, most water heater issues require a licensed plumber. Call immediately if you suspect a gas leak (smell of rotten eggs). Otherwise, schedule a service for any of the signs listed above, especially for leaks or if you are not comfortable performing maintenance yourself.

Heating Repair FAQs
How often should I change my furnace filter?
For most standard 1-inch filters, you should change them every 1-3 months. A clean filter is the easiest way to improve efficiency and prevent problems.
What is a heat exchanger and why is it important?
The heat exchanger is the part of your furnace that heats the air. A crack in the heat exchanger can leak dangerous carbon monoxide into your home, which is why regular professional inspections are crucial.
