Our Heating Service and Repair Process
Golden Air Conditioning follows a systematic diagnostic approach that identifies heating problems quickly and provides lasting repairs that restore reliable warmth to your home.
Complete System Diagnosis
Our heating service begins with comprehensive testing of your entire heating system including the thermostat, gas connections, electrical components, and heat distribution network. We use digital multimeters, gas leak detectors, and combustion analyzers to pinpoint problems accurately.
For heat pump systems, we test both heating and cooling modes, check refrigerant levels, and verify proper defrost operation. Gas furnaces receive combustion testing, heat exchanger inspection, and safety control verification to ensure safe, efficient operation.
Thermostat and Control Testing
Thermostat problems often cause heating issues that appear to be equipment failures. We test thermostat calibration, wiring connections, and programming to ensure proper communication between your controls and heating equipment.
Smart thermostats receive additional testing including WiFi connectivity, software updates, and schedule verification. Proper thermostat operation is essential for comfort and energy efficiency throughout Arlington’s variable winter weather.
Gas System Inspection and Safety Testing
Gas furnaces and heating systems require specialized safety testing to ensure proper combustion and prevent dangerous conditions. We inspect gas connections, test for leaks, and verify proper gas pressure throughout your heating system.
Combustion testing measures gas burn efficiency and checks for carbon monoxide production. We also inspect venting systems to ensure proper exhaust removal and prevent backdrafting that could introduce dangerous gases into your home.
Heat Exchanger and Combustion Analysis
The heat exchanger is critical for safe furnace operation. We inspect heat exchangers for cracks, corrosion, or damage that could allow combustion gases to mix with household air. This inspection includes visual examination and combustion analysis.
Cracked heat exchangers require immediate attention for safety reasons. Our inspection identifies problems early and provides clear recommendations for repair or replacement when necessary.
Blower Motor and Airflow Testing
Heating system blowers circulate warm air throughout your home. We test blower motor operation, check belt condition, and measure airflow to ensure proper heat distribution. Poor airflow reduces heating efficiency and comfort while potentially causing equipment damage. Our testing identifies restrictions, motor problems, or ductwork issues that affect system performance.
Electrical Component Testing
Heating systems rely on various electrical components including ignition systems, safety switches, and control boards. We test all electrical connections, measure voltages, and verify proper component operation.
Faulty electrical components often cause intermittent heating problems that are difficult to diagnose. Our systematic electrical testing identifies failing components before they cause complete system failure.
Heat Pump Specific Services
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling for many Arlington homes. Our heat pump service includes refrigerant system testing, defrost control verification, and auxiliary heat testing.
We check heat pump operation in both heating and cooling modes, verify proper refrigerant levels, and test the defrost cycle that prevents ice buildup on outdoor coils during cold weather.
Filter Replacement and Airflow Optimization
Dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce heating efficiency while potentially damaging equipment. We inspect and replace filters while checking for proper fit and airflow characteristics.
We also examine ductwork connections and damper positions to optimize heat distribution throughout your Arlington home. Proper airflow ensures even heating and efficient operation.
Common Heating Problems in Arlington Homes
Arlington’s mild but variable winter weather creates specific heating challenges that our technicians encounter regularly in local homes.
Pilot Light and Ignition Issues
Gas furnaces may experience pilot light problems or electronic ignition failures, especially after extended periods without use. These issues prevent the furnace from starting and require professional diagnosis and repair.
Heat Pump Defrost Problems
Heat pumps can experience defrost control issues that cause ice buildup on outdoor coils, reducing heating capacity and efficiency. Proper defrost operation is essential for reliable heat pump performance.
Thermostat Malfunctions
Faulty thermostats cause uneven heating, short cycling, or complete system failure. Programming issues with smart thermostats can also create comfort problems during winter months.
Blower Motor and Fan Problems
Worn blower motors, damaged fan belts, or dirty blower wheels reduce airflow and heating performance. These problems often develop gradually and may not be noticed until heating capacity is significantly reduced.
When to Call for Heating Service
Several warning signs indicate your heating system needs professional attention before complete failure occurs.
Inconsistent Heating or Cold Spots
Uneven temperatures throughout your home, rooms that won’t warm up, or cold spots indicate airflow problems, ductwork issues, or equipment malfunctions that require professional diagnosis.
Strange Noises or Odors
Unusual sounds including grinding, squealing, or rattling suggest mechanical problems. Gas odors, burning smells, or musty odors require immediate professional attention for safety reasons.
Increased Energy Bills
Rising heating costs without increased usage often indicate declining system efficiency caused by component wear, calibration problems, or maintenance needs.
Frequent Cycling or System Struggles
Heating systems that turn on and off frequently, struggle to reach thermostat settings, or run constantly without achieving comfortable temperatures need professional service.
Emergency Heating Service
Heating emergencies can occur during Arlington’s coldest weather when reliable warmth is essential for comfort and safety, especially for families with young children or elderly members.
Priority Response During Cold Weather
We prioritize heating service calls during cold snaps when system failures pose comfort and safety concerns. Our emergency services ensure rapid response when you need heat restored quickly.
