Furnace Repair in Chatham, Northern & Central, NJ

Do I Need Emergency Heating Repair Help?

In Chatham and Northern NJ, winter lows can drop to the low 20s without much warning. If your heating system needs repair, you could end up with frozen pipes and dangerous indoor temperatures. To keep your heat running, it’s important to act quickly when you think you may need heating repair. When the temperature drops, all heating repairs are emergencies, so be alert to changes in system performance and call right away if there’s a problem.

Some of the signs that can indicate you need emergency heating repair include:

Total heat loss
Unusual noises or odors
Higher than normal energy use
Inconsistent heating

Even when there’s something wrong with your heater, it may still keep your home warm, for a while. Ignoring the problem can eventually lead to a total system failure or more expensive repairs. The earlier you catch an issue, the more likely it is that you can resolve it with a minor fix. You might only need a belt tightened or a filter replaced, while waiting could mean a blown motor or other major issue.

Most Common Furnace Repairs in Chatham and Northern NJ

In most cases, furnace repairs are pretty straightforward. A Pipe Works Services technician can usually have your furnace working properly again in just a few hours. If you call as soon as you notice your system short-cycling, making strange noises, or a frozen thermostat, call in the pros to take a look.

Some of the most common issues with a furnace are also some of the most affordable heating system repairs. Call today if you think you need help with:

Airflow or filtration
Pilot light assembly
Bad flame sensor readings
Faulty thermostat readings

Most of these issues are simple to fix, but may stop your furnace from running at all. A bad pilot light means no ignition and no heat. A dirty flame sensor can mean your unit turns off just minutes after it turns on. Dirty air filters can overheat your system, but they can be replaced in seconds. If you think you might need furnace repair, don’t let fear of an expensive bill stop you from calling for a professional assessment.

Should I Repair or Replace My Boiler?

At Pipe Works Services, our heating system repair services include boilers. These older, pipe-based systems often require professional plumbing licensing for repairs. Our plumbing, HVAC, and electrical teams all work together to get your heat running again. We offer lasting repairs for boilers to keep your home warm and comfortable throughout the entire season. If repairing your boiler is too expensive or you have an older unit likely to fail again, we may recommend replacing it. Talk to our HVAC experts about your best options.

A boiler can show there’s a problem with a variety of signs, including:

Unusually high energy bills
Strange smells
Leaking
Water pressure and temperature problems

If you have an older, oil-burning boiler, it’s likely best to upgrade, given the high cost of heat with these legacy systems. At Pipe Works Services, we can install newer, higher-efficiency boilers or do an oil-to-gas conversion to give you an alternative fuel option, making your heat more affordable.

Identifying When You Need Heat Pump Repairs in Chatham and Northern NJ

Heat pumps are an energy-efficient way to keep warm in the winter. By transferring heat from the outdoor air and circulating it indoors, these systems gradually heat your home. When working well, a heat pump can save you up to $1,500 per year, or more. If your heat pump isn’t working optimally, you’ll notice your electric bill starts to creep up as temperatures in your home creep down.

Some of the most obvious signs that you need heating system repair with a heat pump include:

Sudden increase on your electric bills
Strange noises or unpleasant smells
Short cycling
Weak airflow

Since a heat pump acts as both a heater and air conditioner, it gets more use than a furnace. This can lead to the need for more frequent repairs. If you notice signs that your system is struggling, reach out to Pipe Works Services for top-notch diagnostics and reliable repairs.

Some of the most common reasons why your furnace may need to be repaired:

Thermostat Malfunction: An older thermostat can wear out or be damaged, which limits your control of the heating system. Upgrading to a programmable thermostat will solve this problem and also enable you to cut heating costs.
Mechanical Problems: The fan motor, drive belt, and bearings in a typical furnace are all worn items. When these mechanical parts become worn, they must be replaced to avoid air flow problems or total system shutdown.
Ignition Problems: Most of today’s furnaces have electronic ignition so that the burner only turns on when the thermostat calls for heat. A clogged burner nozzle or a faulty ignition will prevent the burner from working correctly.
Cracked Heat Exchanger: This furnace component separates the combustion process from the indoor air supply. With age, a heat exchanger can crack, which causes safety and performance problems.
Improper Venting: Any furnace that burns fuel requires an air supply for the combustion process, and a venting system to expel combustion gases. Your furnace technician will check for proper ventilation during regular service calls.
Outdated, Inefficient Performance: Today’s high-efficiency, sealed combustion furnaces can operate at 90% efficiency or better. Older furnaces may only reach 75% or 80% efficiency, even in perfect condition. Upgrading to an efficient, ENERGY STAR® furnace is a smart option in many cases.
Leaky, Uninsulated Ductwork: Although ducts aren’t part of the furnace, their condition has a huge impact on overall heating system performance. By sealing and insulating the ductwork system, you can improve system efficiency by 20% or more.
