Ewald M D Heating & Air Conditioning: Top-Rated HVAC Services Serving Camillus 13031

Key warning signs include a yellow, flickering burner flame (it should be blue and steady), soot or rust on the furnace or venting, excessive moisture on windows near the unit, and a persistent, stale, or burning odor. Most importantly, if anyone in the home experiences flu-like symptoms (headaches, nausea, dizziness) that improve when leaving the house, evacuate immediately and call 911, then contact us. We perform thorough safety inspections and CO testing to identify and resolve these risks.

First, check that your thermostat is set to 'Heat' and the temperature is set higher than the current room temperature. Ensure the furnace's power switch is on and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If you have a gas furnace, confirm the gas valve to the unit is open. If these basics are correct and the furnace still fails to start, it's time to call us. Forced ignition attempts on a malfunctioning system can be dangerous. Our technicians can quickly diagnose and repair common ignition issues like faulty flame sensors, igniters, or gas valves to get your heat back on safely.

We recommend an annual professional tune-up, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins. This proactive maintenance is crucial for our local climate. Our service includes cleaning critical components, checking for gas leaks and carbon monoxide risks, testing system performance, and identifying worn parts before they fail. This not only helps prevent inconvenient and costly no-heat emergencies in the middle of a Syracuse winter but also improves efficiency, safety, and the lifespan of your equipment.
