Electric Furnace Repair in Lakeway
In most cases, the signs that your electric furnace has problems will be obvious. Dealing with things like your heater constantly shutting on and off while failing to heat your home to your desired temperature should prompt a service call. Frequent cycling can result from a malfunctioning thermostat or electrical issues within the system. Addressing short cycling or other problems early will restore your furnace’s performance and reduce your utility bills.
Another important reason to address heater issues promptly is to avoid a complete furnace failure, which could result in costly emergency repairs. Rather than viewing furnace problems as minor inconveniences, it’s essential to prioritize them and have any issues resolved as quickly as possible.
Several signs can let you know that you need electric furnace repair.
- Cold spots in your home
- Insufficient heating
- Increased utility bills
- Banging, rattling, or other strange sounds
- Unusual odors
- Weak airflow from vents
Our knowledgeable HVAC technicians will thoroughly inspect your furnace to identify the issue, explain the problem, and complete the necessary repairs to restore its proper function. For example, if a clogged or damaged blower fan restricts airflow, we’ll clean or repair it to restore proper airflow. Similarly, if a faulty thermostat is causing your furnace to cycle on and off too frequently, we’ll recalibrate or replace it. By addressing your worn or failed HVAC system components, we can improve your furnace’s performance and efficiency, ensuring it operates effectively to meet your heating needs. However, before performing repairs on an older furnace, we will help you determine whether a new electric furnace installation is a better financial decision.
Electric furnaces generally outlast other types of heaters, with a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. However, the need for frequent repairs can indicate it’s time to consider an electric furnace replacement. If your furnace is nearing the end of its lifespan and you’re calling for repairs frequently, replacing it could save you money in the long run by reducing ongoing repair costs and improving energy efficiency. During our visit, we can help assess your furnace’s condition and discuss whether a replacement might be a more cost-effective solution. This is usually the case if the upcoming repairs will cost more than half what a new heater would.
