Durst Air Conditioning Refrigeration & Heating: Licensed HVAC Repair Serving North Huntingdon, PA 15642

First, check your thermostat settings to ensure it's set to 'heat' and the temperature is above the current room reading. Next, verify the circuit breaker for the boiler hasn't tripped. If those are fine, check the pilot light on older models or the system pressure gauge on newer boilers. If the pilot is out or pressure is critically low, it's best to call a professional like Durst. Forcing a restart on a faulty boiler can be unsafe, and low pressure often indicates a leak that needs expert repair.

Common signs include reduced or no airflow from your vents, unusual humming or grinding noises from the indoor unit, and your system frequently tripping the circuit breaker. You might also notice your home isn't reaching the set temperature, or the system runs constantly. In North Huntingdon's climate, a failing fan can leave you without heat in winter or cool air in summer. If you notice these symptoms, prompt service from Durst can prevent a complete breakdown and more costly damage to other components like the heat exchanger or compressor.

This depends on the age, repair history, and efficiency of your current boiler. If your boiler is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has a low AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating below 80%, replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run. Modern, high-efficiency boilers can significantly lower your monthly heating bills, a worthwhile investment for North Huntingdon winters. Our team at Durst can provide a thorough assessment, compare repair costs versus new system benefits, and help you choose the most reliable and economical option for your home.
