Heating Repair Colorado Springs

Sometimes it’s hard to know if you need professional heating repair in Colorado Springs. Common signs include uneven heating, unusual noises, a sudden spike in energy bills and inconsistent and unreliable performance. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to call Big Cat!

While you can handle simple tasks like changing the air filter, we always recommend leaving major repairs to a trained and licensed technician. DIY repairs can lead to more significant issues and can pose a safety hazard for yourself and your home.

If your heating system is older, needs to be repaired frequently or repairs are costing a lot, or if it has a low energy efficiency rating, it may be more cost-effective to replace it instead of repairing it. If you call us at Big Cat, we can help you decide which is best for your specific situation.

Regular heating maintenance and addressing minor issues as soon as they come up can help prevent major problems while also extending the life of your heating system.

Colorado heating repair costs can vary depending on the issue. A simple fix, like replacing a clogged filter, will cost less than a repair requiring disassembly or part replacements. At Big Cat, our technicians provide an upfront estimate for your heating repair before starting any work, so you’ll always know what to expect.

A burning smell from your heater can be alarming. Often, it’s harmless and caused by dust burning off when you first turn on the heater for the season. However, if the smell persists, it could indicate an issue with electrical components, the motor, or wiring. Contact Big Cat for a professional inspection to ensure your system is safe and there are no fire hazards.

This issue, called “short cycling,” can result from a clogged air filter, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a heating system that’s not properly sized for your home. Short cycling reduces your system’s efficiency and increases energy costs. The experts at Big Cat can diagnose and repair the issue to restore normal operation.

If your heater is blowing cold air, first check the thermostat settings to make sure it’s set to “heat” and the fan is on “auto.” If those settings are correct and the problem continues, it could be due to a malfunctioning furnace component or another issue. Call Big Cat to inspect your system and find the root cause.

Unusual noises like banging, rattling, or squealing from your heating system often indicate mechanical problems, such as a loose part, a failing motor, or airflow issues. Ignoring these sounds can lead to more serious damage. Contact Big Cat for prompt repairs to resolve the issue and keep your system running smoothly.

Uneven heating is often caused by blocked vents, leaky ductwork, or a malfunctioning thermostat. In some cases, your heating system may not be properly sized for your home. Big Cat can assess your system and ductwork to pinpoint the issue and help ensure even heating throughout your Colorado Springs home.

A heater that runs nonstop could have a thermostat issue, clogged air filters, or ductwork leaks causing it to work harder than necessary. This not only wastes energy but also increases wear and tear on your system. Let Big Cat diagnose and repair the problem to prevent further strain and restore efficiency.

If your heating system won’t turn on, check the thermostat to ensure it’s set to “heat” and the temperature is higher than the current room temperature. Then, check the circuit breaker to ensure the system has power. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, there could be a more serious problem, like a faulty ignition system or motor. Call Big Cat for professional troubleshooting and repairs.
