Question Answers
My furnace turns on and off too frequently (short cycles). Could this be a plumbing or HVAC issue?
Short cycling is often an HVAC issue related to overheating, a clogged filter, or an incorrect thermostat setting. However, in homes with hydronic (hot water) heating systems, it can also stem from problems like low water pressure or a failing circulator pump. Our team at Rardin can perform a full system inspection to pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's your furnace, boiler, or associated plumbing components, and provide the right repair to restore steady, efficient heat.
Why is one radiator in my Mattoon home cold while others are hot?
An imbalance in your radiator heating system is a common local issue, usually caused by trapped air in the lines or a problem with the zone valves or circulator pump. This prevents hot water from reaching all radiators evenly. Rardin's plumbing and heating experts can bleed your radiators to remove air pockets, inspect and service the recirculation pump, and balance your entire system to ensure consistent, comfortable heat in every room of your house.
Can installing a hot water recirculation pump help with both plumbing and heating problems?
Absolutely. While a recirculation pump's main job is to provide instant hot water at your taps—saving water and time—it's also a key component in many hydronic heating systems. A properly functioning pump ensures hot water circulates efficiently for both your faucets and your radiators or baseboards. If you're experiencing slow hot water delivery or uneven heating, our technicians can assess if a new pump installation or repair is the solution to improve your home's overall comfort and efficiency.
