Reliable Furnace Repair in Troy, MI
Your furnace works hard to meet the heating demands during our colder winter months, and it can be scary knowing it’s headed for a breakdown. Trust the team at Hoover to help keep your system running at its best with our fast, reliable heating repairs.
If your furnace shows any of the following signs, call us and we’ll send out a certified technician to troubleshoot and repair your system.
Strange noises
While it’s normal for your furnace to make some noise during operation, new and loud noises usually signal a bigger issue that needs furnace repair. Clanging, banging, popping, grinding, hissing, squealing, and other noises can indicate poor lubrication, slipped belts, blocked vents, a faulty combustion system, or other heating issues. Our expert technicians get to the root of the problem and ensure the safety of your home and the efficiency of your furnace.
Gas smells
Natural gas is odorless until the company adds a smelly chemical. They do this to ensure you can smell it when you have a dangerous leak. If you smell a rotten egg or sulfur odor, you likely have a natural gas leak. Evacuate everyone from your home as quickly as possible, contact your gas provider, and then call us.
Inefficient heating
If you notice cold spots in your home, weak airflow, or cool air coming from your furnace, the issue is usually one of three culprits: a poorly sized system, blocked vents, or an issue with your blower motor. We’ll assess the cold zones and inspect your system to determine the best strategy. To optimize your system, you may need a combination of insulation upgrades and a furnace tune-up.
Unexplained high energy bills
It’s normal for your energy bills to go up slightly during the winter, but an unexplained hike can indicate your heating system is working too hard. As components wear down, the system struggles to keep up, operating for longer and harder than it should.
Discolored or flickering pilot light
Your pilot light should be blue, steady, and thin. An orange or yellow light indicates improper burning, and flickering usually means poor gas flow or excess airflow. Too much airflow can also blow out your pilot light. Clear the area around your furnace and seal any high-airflow areas.
