FAQs About Heating Repairs
Just like your car, even with routine maintenance, your furnace will eventually need repair services and replacement due to wear and tear. Here’s what you need to know when something goes wrong.
How Much Does It Cost To Fix A Heater In Your House?
You can find a number of credible sites online that indicate a range of costs to repair your heating unit. Homeguide.com indicates repair costs that range from $125 and $355 for most home owners.
Homeadvisor.com indicates a range from $131 and $486 to repair and clean a furnace, with an average cost of $309.
When it comes to electric heaters, depending on what is wrong with them, it can cost as little as $50 according to Forbes.com. While they also indicate a range of prices, the amount provided was to indicate that typical electric heaters are typically a less expensive repair for homeowners.
The State of Florida offers a Weatherization Assistance Program with grants for energy-saving repairs. You can check details and eligibility on their government website.
Why Did My Central Heating Stop Working?
The most common reason for heating systems to fail is poor maintenance. We recommend an annual tune-up by an HVAC contractor to keep your furnace in top shape for years to come. Your central heating might stop working if:
- The thermostat has problems. With Tampa’s warm weather, it’s easy to leave on the cooling system and forget to turn on the heat! Make sure that your thermostat is switched to “heat” or “automatic,” or the heat will not switch on. The thermostat may also need a new battery.
- The furnace filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. Dirty filters can damage your furnace’s electrical systems and restrict air flow, which keeps the furnace from blowing warm air.
- The blower capacitor or motor needs replacement. The blower motor moves warm air from the furnace and cool air from the air conditioning system throughout the house.
- The heat pump is leaking. Leaks cause your heat pump to lose refrigerant, which is the chemical that heats your home with the heat pump, and cools it with the air conditioning system.
- Ducts are blocked or leaking. If the furnace comes on but some of your rooms are cold, make sure that the duct room registers are open. The duct work in your home could also need sealing.
How Often Do Heating Systems Need To Be Replaced?
Electric furnaces can last over 20 years, while gas furnaces have a lifespan between 15 and 20 years. We recommend replacing your furnace every 15 years to ensure your family is always kept cozy.
You might want to consider replacing your furnace sooner if:
- Your furnace needs frequent expensive repairs
- Unusual noises are coming from the furnace, like crackling, humming, or buzzing
- Indoor air quality is poor when the furnace is running
- Rooms are heated unevenly
- Heating bills are rising even though you are not using your furnace any more frequently
What Our Clients Say
Erin B.
St. Pete, Florida
We contacted 3H Contracting after learning that one of our two units needed to be replaced. Due to the age of the functioning unit, we decided to replace both units and are very impressed with 3H's responsiveness and workmanship. From choosing the units to performing the work, the folks at 3H are professionals all the way.
Donna G.
Bradenton, Florida
We have used 3H Contracting for the last 2 years to baby our old A/C unit along. Well, our old unit decided to retire, right at the beginning of our Florida heat season! We called 3H Contracting first for an estimate and also called a few other companies to decide which one would offer us the best price. As no surprise to us, 3H Contracting won our business again!
