Northern Heating Co: Local HVAC Services Serving Lewiston, ME 04243

Yes, this is a common symptom of a thermostat malfunction, a frequent issue we see in Lewiston homes. A faulty thermostat can misread the temperature, causing your system to run inefficiently. Our technicians can test your thermostat's calibration and wiring. Often, a recalibration or replacement with a modern, programmable model resolves the issue, improving both comfort and energy efficiency.

Signs include weak airflow from vents, unusual screeching or grinding noises, or the system frequently overheating and shutting off. Blower motor failures are a common repair need in our area due to system strain during cold snaps. Northern Heating Co prioritizes these calls, and we typically carry common motor parts on our trucks. We aim to diagnose and complete most blower motor repairs on the same day to restore heat to your Lewiston home quickly.

Regular professional maintenance is key. Our preventative tune-ups include cleaning the blower assembly to prevent motor strain, checking electrical connections at the thermostat, and testing system operation. We also recommend keeping vents unobstructed and replacing your air filter monthly to reduce strain on the blower motor. For thermostats, ensure they are away from heat sources or drafts for accurate readings. These simple steps, combined with our expert annual service, can prevent many common local breakdowns.
