Heating Repair in Jonesboro, GA

Twenty years of other people’s repairs

Older houses hold on to their heating systems, and a system that has been in place two decades has a history: the original install, everything done to it since, and whatever somebody improvised in 2011 that nobody wrote down anywhere. You inherit all of it the moment you open the panel, and none of it is in the manual.

So we start by finding out what is actually in front of us rather than what ought to be. One of the reviews on our listing mentions birds nesting in an exhaust spout. That is the job, honestly — it is rarely the thing on the brochure, and it is never the thing you would have guessed from the phone call.

If your system is old enough to have a standing pilot light rather than an electronic ignition, mention that when you call. It changes what we bring and it changes what is likely to be wrong. It usually also means we are looking at something that has been keeping a house warm for longer than some of the people living in it have been alive — which is a decent argument for taking it seriously rather than writing it off on age alone.

The calls we get all winter

• The heat pump is blowing cool air on a cold morning
• Emergency heat is stuck on and the power bill is climbing
• The furnace runs but nothing warm comes out
• The burner won’t light, or lights and drops straight out
• A bang or a rattle every time it starts
• One room roasts and the next one freezes
