Dave's Hvac - Pittsburgh's Licensed HVAC Repair

In our climate, short cycling is often caused by a clogged air filter restricting airflow, an oversized furnace for your home, or a faulty flame sensor. This not only creates uneven heat but also strains the system. We'll diagnose the specific issue—often related to Pittsburgh's dust and older home layouts—and provide a reliable fix to restore steady, efficient heating.

A gradual pressure drop in your boiler is common in Pittsburgh's older homes and usually points to a small leak in the system or a failing pressure relief valve. While not always an immediate emergency, it should be addressed promptly to prevent system inefficiency or damage. We'll locate the source of the pressure loss and perform the necessary repair to keep your boiler running safely and effectively.

Before our harsh winters hit, we recommend a professional tune-up. This includes cleaning the burner assembly and heat exchanger, checking for gas leaks (common in older systems), testing safety controls, and ensuring proper ventilation. This proactive service can prevent common issues like short cycling and ignition failures, ensuring your system runs reliably and efficiently all season long.
