Heater & Furnace Repair in Agua Dulce, CA

Furnace repair in Agua Dulce: rural homes, cold nights

Agua Dulce sits higher than the valley floor, and winter nights here get noticeably colder than in Santa Clarita. That makes furnace repair in Agua Dulce urgent when it happens. Most homes heat with propane furnaces or heat pumps, and many properties have more than one building: a main house, a guest house, a barn or a workshop, each with its own heater. Some owners live in manufactured homes with their own furnace type.

Heating problems we fix in Agua Dulce

• Propane furnace will not light. Low tank, a regulator problem, or a furnace that was never set up correctly for propane. We check gas pressure at the furnace and the burner setup.
• Ignition faults. Dust and wind carry fine dirt into everything. Dirty flame sensors and worn igniters are common.
• Heat pump iced up or running on backup heat. On a cold morning a heat pump will defrost now and then. A thick layer of ice that stays, or a system that never shuts off, needs service. See heat pump repair.
• Rodent damage. On rural lots, rodents chew wiring and nest in furnaces and ducts. We check for it on every visit.
• Vent caps blown loose by wind. A damaged or missing cap lets wind and rain into the flue.

Wall heaters and guest houses

Guest houses, studios and older homes often use a propane wall heater. We repair pilots, thermocouples and gas valves, and check the vent every time. If you want heat and cooling in a detached building, a ductless heat pump is often a better fit than a new furnace. More on wall and floor heaters.

Repair or replace?

Most no heat calls are repairs. When a propane furnace is old, has a cracked heat exchanger, or the AC is failing too, it is worth comparing a new furnace with a heat pump, since a heat pump can lower propane use. You get written prices for both. See furnace repair.

Carbon monoxide: what to do

If your CO alarm goes off, do not look for the cause. Get everyone out of the house, call 911, then call SoCalGas or your propane supplier. Call us once the fire department or the gas company says it is safe to go back in. Every heater repair we do includes a carbon monoxide test and a look at the flue and gas connections.

Safe checks before you call

1. Thermostat set to Heat, a few degrees above room temperature, with fresh batteries if it has them.
2. Look at the filter. If it is gray and packed, replace it.
3. Check the breaker and the service switch next to the furnace (it looks like a light switch).
4. Make sure the furnace door or panel is closed tight. Most furnaces will not run with it loose.
5. Check the propane tank gauge and make sure the tank valve is open. Do not try to relight anything if you smell gas.
