Furnace and heat pump repair in Hermitage
Heat out in Hermitage? We repair furnaces and heat pumps day or night, from our Lebanon office on I-40.
Hermitage heating repairs follow the weather. A mild December can lull a house into thinking its system is fine, and then a hard freeze or an ice storm arrives and the equipment that has been idling is suddenly asked to run for 18 hours straight. That is when ignitors crack, flame sensors fail and heat pumps ice over.
Heavenly Air repairs furnaces, heat pumps and dual-fuel systems in Hermitage and the surrounding area, with technicians available 24 hours a day. We work on all makes and models and explain what we find before we touch anything.
Which heating systems we see in Hermitage
The mix of housing means a mix of equipment:
- Gas furnaces in many established neighborhoods, from older standard-efficiency units to newer condensing models.
- Heat pumps in condos, townhomes and many replacement installations, sometimes with electric auxiliary heat.
- Electric furnaces and air handlers in some homes where gas never reached.
- Dual-fuel systems where a heat pump and a gas furnace share the work.
Ice storms and hard freezes
Middle Tennessee gets freezing rain several times in most winters, and every neighborhood loses power or runs equipment hard at the same time. If your heat fails in an ice event, check the thermostat and the breaker first. If the power is out, no heating system can run until it returns. If power is on and the system is not responding, call us. Heat pumps need a clear outdoor coil, so keep ice from building up around the unit and never chip at it with a tool that could puncture the coil.
Typical furnace and heat pump problems
These are the repairs we make most often:
- Failed ignitors and dirty flame sensors that shut burners down
- Inducer motor and pressure switch faults
- Blower motors, capacitors and control boards
- Clogged filters that cause overheating and short cycling
- Heat pump defrost control, reversing valve and refrigerant problems
- Failed electric auxiliary heat strips or sequencers
Safety on every gas furnace call
We check the heat exchanger, flue and combustion as part of any serious furnace diagnosis. A cracked exchanger or a blocked vent can release carbon monoxide into the house. If we find an unsafe condition, we explain what has to be fixed before the furnace is safe to run. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility and 911 from outside, and keep working carbon monoxide detectors on every level.
Repair or replace
Gas furnaces commonly last 15 to 20 years and heat pumps 10 to 15. A cracked heat exchanger or an expensive component failure on an older system is a good time to ask for a free replacement estimate. See heating installation in Hermitage.
Furnace & Heat Pump Repair in Hermitage: common questions
Do you offer emergency heating repair in Hermitage?
Yes. Our technicians are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including nights, weekends and holidays.
Why is there ice on my heat pump?
Light frost is normal in cold, damp weather, and the unit clears it with a defrost cycle. A heavy buildup that does not clear needs service. Call us before running it for long.
Should I use emergency heat?
Only if the heat pump has stopped working. It uses expensive electric strips alone, so call us so we can find out why.
Can you repair an older furnace?
Yes. We repair all makes and models, and we will tell you if a repair is not worth making.
