Question Answers
My furnace pilot light keeps going out. Is this a serious issue?
Yes, a frequently failing pilot light can indicate a clogged orifice, a faulty thermocouple, or a draft issue, which affects safety and efficiency. For propane systems, it's especially important to have a Dead River technician diagnose the problem. We'll check for proper gas pressure, clean components, and ensure your heating system is operating safely and reliably for the Farmington winter.
Why is there ice on my outdoor AC unit, and how can I fix it?
Ice buildup on your outdoor HVAC unit in Farmington's humid climate is often a sign of low refrigerant, restricted airflow from a dirty filter, or a failing component. Don't try to chip the ice off, as this can damage the coils. Turn the system off and call us. Our HVAC repair specialists will safely thaw the unit, diagnose the root cause, and perform the necessary repair to restore efficient cooling.
When should I consider a full HVAC system replacement instead of a repair?
If your system is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has skyrocketing energy bills, a replacement is often more cost-effective. For Farmington homes dealing with persistent issues like ice buildup or pilot light failures in an aging system, a new, high-efficiency HVAC installation from Dead River can provide greater reliability, lower operating costs, and improved comfort year-round.
