Frequently Asked Heating Questions
We asked our HVAC technicians for some of the most common questions homeowners ask -- oh yeah, we asked them to answer them too. Click on the questions below to reveal their answers.
To figure out just what the blinking red light on your furnace is trying to tell you, you can consult a chart that's located somewhere on your furnace. The number of blinks should correspond to a similar number on the chart and that can help you begin to understand and solve the problem. If the manufacturer's suggested fix does not work, consult an HVAC specialist.
This points to an ignition system malfunction which is an issue that should be seen to by an HVAC specialist.
If your furnace is blowing cold air, it might be a sign that your furnace light is out. If it is, try relighting it to see if it remains lit. If it doesn't contact a professional for further assistance.

Doug's Story
"I'm retired Army. The house was built in 1950 and a lot of improvements have needed to be done. I have never met a group of finer young people that were super qualified in every area -- whether it was heating, plumbing, electrical or whatever -- they would be the type of team that I would want to put together myself if I were running a company, and I have nothing but praise. I know I can trust their work."

We had Mike L come help us with some plumbing. He was so kind and helpful and answered my questions without making me feel dumb. Really good experience with him! Edited 5/16/23: Just had Herbert K come help us with another plumbing issue that arose after we were helped before (unrelated). He was super helpful and did a quick, efficient service! Highly recommend.— McKay

Plumber clean my drain and my toilet after. My daughter was excited that he cleaned it after . I was so impressed by my plumber he was able to unclog one drain and by magic another one unclogged itself by him flushing . He also took the time to make it safe for me to dispose things . He also mentioned the monthly to save me money on much needed electrical and water pressure. I wish I could give him 10 stars , my service was all around amazing . They tried to save me so much . This plumber went above and beyond w/ any plumbing service I had . Wish I would have got his name ans would recommend him anytime , the co should definitely look at promoting him to mgmt to help keep the co running in superb care .not to mention was so kind and nice to talk to.— Marilyn Huang

Great experience with Mike and Eduardo. Mike and Eduardo were absolutely professional, respectful and always keeping my husband and I up to date on what was happening. Mike explained each step and why they were doing the job a certain way. We could tell that these guys were really concerned about our situation and trying to complete the job as fast as possible. Mike and Eduardo went above and beyond, they stayed really late to make sure we had water to use before they left to come back the next day. That was just above and beyond, something that was very appreciated. These men are hard workers and are people my husband and I trust. Thanks guys Curtis and Ashley— Curtis Powell

First experience hiring a plumber. I called Wednesday though no immediate availability until Friday, but got lucky. By Wednesday around 4pm, Todd, and another Technician arrived on time to check the drain backing up horribly. Very professional in explaining the problem, and providing excellent services. Todd called Reagan. He took his time to explain my options with the broken sewer pipes. Am going with the liner with appointment and finances setup. I can't wait to get it all done. Extra bonus in fixing my bathtub clogging issues. You got a customer. Am telling my neighbors about the excellent customer service.— YAA AWUAH

Victor was great! He came to look at the fan on our furnace and ended up finding a gas leak! He was able to have someone scheduled to come fix the gas leak that same day! He also helped us find some solutions for our fan motor running too high. We really appreciated how knowledgeable and helpful he was!— Kat Barton

Dane came to my home to complete a water heater flush and plumbing maintenance tuneup. He found we had a bad pressure regulator which caused the thermal expansion tank to fail. Also found that our water softener is no longer working properly and a failed flapper in a toilet. He completed all the work and repairs, including replacing and installing water softener. Dane was very polite and respectful in explaining the issues and in completing the work to be done. He was great to work with.— Suzanne Wadsworth
