Why Immediate Heating Repair Is in Your Best Interest

Monday, February 24th, 2020

old-furnaceAs much as we would love to tell you the secret of keeping your heater in perfect working condition at all times, we simply cannot do that. Why not? Simple. No heater can do that. Heaters are mechanical systems, meaning that even the best heaters installed and serviced by the best technicians will run into operational problems from time to time. What we can tell you is that prompt heating repair is always going to benefit you.

All too often, homeowners will wait for very serious problems, or even a complete breakdown, to develop with their heating systems before they schedule service. Don’t do this!

It Might Be Your Thermostat Making You Cold

Monday, December 30th, 2019

smart-thermostatBefore you reach for the phone to call for yet another furnace repair, have you considered that maybe your heater isn’t the source of the problem? All too often, we have encountered people who are struggling through winter and are sure their heater is broken only to discover that the real culprit is their thermostat.

If there is an issue with your thermostat it can actually be the main cause of a seemingly malfunctioning heater. This is because your thermostat is responsible for detecting the temperature difference in the room and letting your heater know when it is time to turn on. Problems with the connection between your heater and your thermostat, or with your thermostat’s ability to gauge the temperature of the room, can result in a very chilly, or very stuffy, home.

Learn more about this issue below and contact Collier’s Comfort when you are in need of thermostat repair in Fort Wayne, IN.

The fastest way to identify a contractor that you don’t want to work with is to find the one that tells you they can promise a completely problem-free home heating experience.  Why is that?

Yes, even the best furnaces on the market.  Yes, even when trained professionals install and service them.

Investing in good equipment and scheduling your furnace services with qualified professionals is certainly the best way in which to get the most reliable and effective performance possible from your home heating system, but nothing can guarantee 100% dependability. Learning some of the warning signs that your heater is in trouble is the next best thing, though.
