Francis Heating Cooling & Roofing | Local HVAC Services in West Newton, PA

Uneven radiator heat is common in older West Newton homes, often caused by trapped air, sludge buildup in the pipes, or a faulty zone valve. We start by bleeding your radiators to release air pockets. If that doesn't solve it, we may need to flush the system to remove sludge or inspect and replace malfunctioning valves. Our goal is to balance your system so every room gets consistent, comfortable heat.

In our area, a frequent culprit for ignition failure is a dirty or faulty flame sensor. Over time, the sensor gets coated and can't confirm a flame, causing the furnace to shut down for safety. Other common issues include a worn-out igniter or a problem with the gas valve. We can typically diagnose and clean or replace these components during one visit, restoring heat to your home promptly.

First, check your thermostat batteries and ensure it's set to 'Heat.' Next, check your home's circuit breaker or the furnace's power switch to ensure it hasn't tripped or been turned off. Also, verify your furnace filter is clean; a severely clogged filter can cause the system to overheat and shut down. If these simple steps don't resolve the issue, give us a call for a professional diagnosis to prevent further damage.
