If your heater is not producing any warm air or if it is producing very little warm air, then it can actually make your cold days extremely uncomfortable and unpleasant. Start by checking whether the thermostat is set to ‘heat’, whether your thermostat batteries are working, whether you have replaced the filter recently, whether the filter is excessively dirty, and whether the vents are open or not. Most of the time, changing the filter and replacing the batteries can fix the problems of a gas heater and you can easily do it on your own. But if your heater does not produce heat even after checking all these things, then you need to check the furnace of the gas heater. If there is a reset button on your furnace, then press it to switch on your heater. If your heater has pilot lights, then make sure that it is lit. If you are having a problem with the flame sensor, then the indicator would ensure that the flame is burning when the gas is turned on. But if it’s too dirty, then it may cause the furnace to shut down. In this regard, you need to call the professional gas heater repair experts for repairing the heater and its furnace system.

Overly active heater leads to wastage of energy and the heat is not able to reach the desired temperature. If you are facing this issue, try some simple fixes like checking if the thermostat is working fine, changing the filter, checking if the flame sensor is rusty or dirty, and ensuring that the heat registers are open. Apart from that, you must check the monitoring system and heat exchanger. Whatever your reason is, it is best to call professional gas heater repair experts. They have advanced tools and they can easily detect the issue of your gas heaters within few minutes.

If The Blower Keeps Running Continuously

If your blower does not stop and keeps running all the time, then you need to check the thermostat. One reason may be that your fan setting is stuck at ‘on’ position.

Only a professional gas heater repair expert would be able to fix it with expertise.

If The Furnace Is Producing Too Much Noise
