Asharoken Heating Specialists - Northport's Qualified HVAC Repair

In our area, a faulty hot surface ignitor or flame sensor is a frequent culprit for ignition failure, often due to wear from seasonal use and our humid coastal air. We carry these common parts on our service trucks for Northport calls. In many cases, our technicians can diagnose and complete a safe, permanent repair during the same visit, often within an hour, to restore your heat promptly.

Warning signs include a yellow, flickering burner flame (it should be blue and steady), soot stains around the furnace, excessive moisture on windows, or a persistent, stuffy feeling in the house. If your CO alarm sounds, evacuate immediately and call 911. For peace of mind, we strongly recommend an annual professional furnace tune-up. Our specialists perform a comprehensive safety check, testing for CO leaks, verifying proper venting, and cleaning critical components to ensure safe operation all winter.

Our thorough tune-up includes cleaning the burner assembly and heat exchanger, testing the ignitor and safety controls, checking gas pressure and connections, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting the flue system for proper venting. For Long Island homes, this is vital because our salty, humid air can accelerate corrosion in the venting system and electrical components. Regular maintenance not only prevents unexpected breakdowns on the coldest nights but also maximizes efficiency and is your first line of defense against carbon monoxide hazards.
