Trusted HVAC Services in Manitowoc, WI 54220.0 - Kretsch Heating & Air Conditioning

This is a very common issue during our Wisconsin winters. Often, a pilot light failure is due to a faulty thermocouple, a draft, or a dirty sensor—all of which are typically repairable. Our technicians will diagnose the exact cause. If your furnace is also old and inefficient, we might discuss replacement options to improve reliability and lower your heating bills, but we always recommend the most cost-effective solution first.

Our preventative maintenance tune-up is designed specifically for local conditions. We thoroughly clean the burner assembly and pilot light orifice, check the thermocouple and flame sensor for proper operation, test the ignition system, and ensure all safety controls are working. This proactive service is the best way to prevent those frustrating and cold no-heat calls on a freezing Manitowoc morning.

For our cold winters, we recommend systems with high-efficiency ratings (AFUE) and reliable ignition systems, like hot surface ignitors, which are more dependable than traditional pilot lights. We'll assess your home's size, insulation, and existing ductwork to recommend a properly sized and robust system that can handle Lake Michigan's lake-effect weather and keep your home consistently warm.
