Types of Heating Systems We Repair

Our technicians are trained and certified to repair all types of heating systems, including:

Gas Furnaces

Gas furnaces are among the most common heating systems in Los Angeles homes. These systems heat air by burning natural gas and then distribute the warmed air throughout your home via ductwork. Our technicians are experts in diagnosing and repairing issues specific to gas furnaces, including problems with ignition systems, gas valves, heat exchangers, and blower motors. We prioritize safety when working with gas furnaces, ensuring that all repairs comply with industry standards and local regulations.

Electric Furnaces

Electric furnaces use heating elements to warm air, which is then circulated through your home. While these systems typically have fewer mechanical components than gas furnaces, they can still experience issues with heating elements, sequencers, blower motors, and control boards. Our technicians have extensive experience repairing electric furnaces of all makes and models, ensuring that your system operates efficiently and reliably.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are versatile systems that provide both heating and cooling by transferring heat between indoor and outdoor air. These systems can experience unique issues related to refrigerant levels, reversing valves, compressors, and defrost controls. Our team is well-versed in the complexities of heat pump repair, providing comprehensive solutions that address both the heating and cooling functions of these systems.

Ductless Mini-Split Systems

These systems can experience issues with indoor air handlers, outdoor compressor units, refrigerant lines, and electronic controls. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair problems specific to ductless systems, ensuring that each zone in your home maintains the desired temperature.

Hydronic Heating Systems

Hydronic systems use hot water or steam to distribute heat through radiators, baseboard heaters, or in-floor radiant heating systems. These systems can experience issues with boilers, circulation pumps, zone valves, and distribution pipes. Our team has the specialized knowledge required to repair these complex systems, ensuring that heat is distributed evenly and efficiently throughout your home.
