Has the Furnace in Your University District Home Stopped Working?

Your HVAC system works hard in the Winter. Unfortunately, they sometimes break or need maintenance.

And it seems like these issues never seem to occur when it’s convenient. They always seem to pop up at a bad time.

When something happens to your furnace and it isn’t keeping your house warm any longer, you want to get it fixed. Especially when that breakdown happens during one of the coldest periods of Winter.

Fast Appointments Near the University of Washington

You can find an emergency HVAC repair company that attempts to deliver quick service to every person who calls, but they prioritize service calls based on the situation.

For example, when customers call because their furnace isn’t working any longer and won’t keep their house warm, those customers get priority over service calls that are purely routine maintenance appointments. During busy times of the year, they also try to go out on as many repair appointments as they can that might be outside of normal business hours.

Obviously, most customers aren’t calling in the Summer. Almost everyone calls when it’s cold.

And for the furnace repair industry, the problem they face is many homeowners get their furnace problems all at the same time. And then they run into scheduling problems.

Most small HVAC repair shops deal with scheduling issues when a large number of property owners all call for service at the same time.

There are some Seattle repair shops that simply can’t handle a big increase in service calls. They are already busy, and they do not have additional trained technicians to handle new appointments. Or maybe they aren’t set up to go on service calls on Saturdays, Sundays or at night.

The Cost of a Typical Furnace Repair

The majority of HVAC service appointments result in the repair of the existing unit. Most property owners do not have to replace their current system.

Most service calls do not result in a very big bill. The replacement of a single bad part is the most typical end result.

That being said, during your visit, your technician will need to examine your system, clean it, replace whatever parts have stopped working, test it and make sure it is operating at its best. This all takes time.

The final bill your technician hands you when he is done is typically not too high or too small. Most jobs require a couple of hours of work and the cost of the replacement parts. Most homeowners view the bill as reasonable and are relieved to get their house warm again.

Do Annual Service Agreements Work?

You can enroll in a service maintenance agreement. Members of this program generally experience a much lower number of unexpected system problems and service visits.

It makes sense. If you arrange to have them clean and inspect your HVAC system every year, you are more likely to end up with a system that is more dependable and lasts longer than a system owned by someone who doesn’t put in any effort or time on maintenance.

Your maintenance visits will generally take place during the quite summer season. Your technician will do a complete cleaning and inspection. You will have your system all ready for the next heating season.

These seasonal appointments allow the technician plenty of extra time to look at every aspect of your system. He or she is not in a hurry at this time of year.

During one of these tune-up appointments, if your tech comes across a bad part, or even worse, a safety concern, they can go ahead and do the repair right then, while they are already there. This saves you the expense of having someone come out on an emergency appointment later.

Even systems that are annually serviced might still break down when they are under heavy stress during the Winter. A small percentage of well-maintained systems might need unexpected attention when they suddenly stop working right, but having your unit inspected and cleaned regularly is still the best advice.

Some Typical HVAC Problems

Your heat system is kind of complicated. It’s got a lot of different parts. And if one of those parts stops working, the whole operation stops working.

But many service calls relate to items in a small group of areas. Two problem areas are the thermostat or ignition system. And many of the remaining calls are due to the failure of a single mechanical part that now needs replacing.
