Furnace Repair in Pomona
A malfunctioning furnace can quickly turn a comfortable home into a cold one. If your furnace is showing signs of trouble, prompt professional repair is crucial. Ignoring issues can lead to more significant problems, higher energy bills, and potential safety hazards like carbon monoxide leaks.
Signs that your furnace may need repair include:
- No heat or insufficient heat being produced.
- The furnace is making strange noises (grinding, whining, rattling, or banging).
- Unpleasant odors coming from the system (burning, musty, or sulfur-like).
- Your energy bills are unusually high compared to previous months or years.
- The furnace cycles on and off frequently.
- The pilot light is out or is a different color than expected.
- The thermostat is not accurately controlling the temperature.
Our furnace repair process begins with a thorough diagnostic assessment to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. Our technicians are trained to quickly identify and resolve common furnace issues, ensuring your heat is restored safely and efficiently. We arrive with well-stocked vehicles, ready to perform most repairs on the spot, minimizing downtime and restoring comfort to your Pomona home quickly.
Furnace Installation and Replacement in Pomona
Installing a new furnace is a significant investment in your home's comfort, efficiency, and value. Whether you're building a new home, replacing an old, inefficient system, or converting to a different fuel source, choosing the right furnace and ensuring proper installation are key.
Deciding when to replace your furnace involves several factors:
- Age: Furnaces typically last 15-20 years. If yours is approaching or exceeds this age, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
- Frequent Repairs: If your furnace requires frequent and costly repairs, the expense may outweigh the cost of a new, reliable system.
- Decreasing Efficiency: Older furnaces are significantly less energy-efficient than modern units, leading to higher utility bills.
- Uneven Heating: If some rooms in your home are consistently colder than others, it could indicate that your furnace is no longer able to adequately heat your entire home.
- Safety Concerns: Cracks in the heat exchanger can lead to dangerous carbon monoxide leaks.
We offer expert furnace installation and replacement services. We help you select the right size and type of furnace for your home's specific needs, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency. We handle the entire process, from removing the old unit to installing the new one, ensuring all connections are secure and the system is tested for safe and efficient operation. Investing in a new, high-efficiency furnace can lead to significant savings on energy bills over time and provide more consistent, reliable heat.
Understanding Furnace Efficiency (AFUE)
When considering a new furnace, you'll often encounter the term AFUE, which stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. This rating measures how efficiently a furnace converts fuel into usable heat over the course of a year. A higher AFUE percentage means the furnace is more efficient, wasting less energy and costing you less on your heating bills. Older furnaces might have AFUE ratings as low as 60-70%, while modern high-efficiency furnaces can reach 90% AFUE or higher. In Pomona, choosing a more efficient furnace can lead to noticeable savings, especially during colder periods.
Furnace Maintenance and Tune-Ups in Pomona
Regular maintenance is the best way to ensure your furnace operates reliably, efficiently, and safely throughout the heating season. Neglecting routine service can lead to unexpected breakdowns, reduced performance, and a shorter lifespan for your system.
Our furnace maintenance or tune-up service is a thorough inspection and cleaning of your heating system. This service typically includes:
- Checking and cleaning the burner and heat exchanger.
- Inspecting the ignition system (pilot light or electronic igniter).
- Testing safety controls.
- Checking electrical connections and components.
- Lubricating moving parts.
- Checking and tightening belts (if applicable).
- Examining the flue pipe for blockages or leaks.
- Checking the thermostat calibration.
- Testing airflow and system performance.
- Replacing or cleaning the air filter.
Scheduling an annual furnace tune-up helps prevent potential problems before they cause a breakdown, improves energy efficiency, extends the life of your equipment, and ensures safe operation by detecting issues like carbon monoxide leaks. Consider joining our Power Club maintenance plan for regular tune-ups and additional benefits.
Other Heating System Services
While furnaces are common, we also service other types of heating systems found in Pomona homes, including heat pumps. If your home uses a heat pump for heating, our technicians have the expertise to diagnose, repair, maintain, and install these systems as well, ensuring efficient year-round comfort.
Repair or Replace Your Furnace? A Pomona Homeowner's Dilemma
It's a common question: should I repair my aging furnace or invest in a new one? While a repair might offer a short-term fix, it's important to consider the long-term implications, especially if your furnace is older than 15 years or requires increasingly frequent and expensive repairs.
A helpful guideline is the ""5,000 rule."" Multiply the cost of the repair by the age of your furnace. If the total is over $5,000, replacement is likely the more economical decision in the long run. However, even if the repair cost is below this threshold, the increasing inefficiency of an older system, potential for future breakdowns, and improved comfort of a new unit should factor into your decision. Our technicians can provide an honest assessment of your current system's condition and efficiency, helping you make an informed choice that's best for your Pomona home and budget.
Understanding Heating Service Costs in Pomona
The cost of heating and furnace services in Pomona can vary depending on several factors. For repairs, the cost depends on the nature and complexity of the issue and the parts required. More complex problems or the need for major component replacement will naturally cost more.
For furnace installation or replacement, costs are influenced by the type and size of the new system, its energy efficiency rating (AFUE), the complexity of the installation (e.g., ductwork modifications), and any necessary code upgrades.
We believe in transparent, upfront pricing. After diagnosing a repair issue or assessing your needs for installation, we will provide a clear explanation of the work required and the associated costs before any work begins. To help manage the investment in a new heating system, we also offer flexible financing options.
