Experienced HVAC Services in Somerset, MA 02726 - Souza’s Heating and Cooling

Common warning signs include a yellow, flickering burner flame (instead of steady blue), excessive condensation on windows near the furnace, a stale or stuffy smell in the air, and flu-like symptoms like headaches or nausea among household members. If you suspect a leak, leave the house immediately and call us for an emergency safety inspection. We perform thorough combustion analysis and CO testing to identify and resolve the source.

Yes, consistently low boiler pressure can indicate a leak in the system or a failing pressure relief valve, which can lead to inefficient heating, higher energy bills, and potential system failure. It's a common issue we see in local homes. We recommend calling for service to diagnose the cause—whether it's a small leak in the radiators, the expansion tank, or the pressure gauge itself—before it escalates into a costly repair or leaves you without heat.

For optimal safety and efficiency, we recommend an annual professional tune-up for your furnace or boiler, ideally in the fall before the cold Somerset winter sets in. This service includes cleaning critical components, checking for carbon monoxide leaks, testing system pressure and safety controls, and ensuring everything operates as designed. This preventive care is the best way to avoid unexpected breakdowns and protect your family from safety hazards.
