Heating Repair

Many people in the Valley of the Sun take their furnace or heater for granted. With the many days that we never have to worry about them, we are often caught off guard when the cold winter nights arrive and we have no heat. Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating will immediately come to your home and repair your heater.

Homes throughout the Valley have two types of heaters. There are traditional furnace and heat pumps which utilize your homes air conditioning system running in reverse. The heater technicians at Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating are fully trained to repair both types of heaters quickly in order to keep your home comfortable and cozy.

Furnaces

Most furnaces are gas fired, but there are some electric ones. The furnace professionals at Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating will perform a complete diagnostic of your furnace to ensure that all problems are properly addresses. Here is a checklist of potential problems that we look for:

• Look for Any Gas Leaks
• Inspect Motors and Capacitors
• Check Pilot Light
• Inspect Furnace Filters
• Analyze Thermostat for Proper Operation
• Inspection of Heating Anticipator
• Check for Carbon Monoxide
• Ensure Proper Sequence of Operation
• Retest the Flame Sensors
  
• Check for Proper Flue Venting
• Ensure Adequate Make-Up Air
  

Once these have all been examined and repairs are made, our furnace technicians will turn the system on to make sure there is no “poof” lighting on the pilot light and make sure that the ignition is smooth. We also test to make sure that no carbon monoxide is leaking into your home. Finally, we check the temperature that is coming out of the vents to ensure that your home's furnace is operating optimally.

Some of the common parts that we may replace in your furnace include motors, control boards, hot surface ignitors, flame sensors, faulty sensors, and gas valves. All of the furnace technicians at Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating carry many of these parts on their trucks. Some parts are unique and may require locating, but we have the resources to get them very fast.

Heat Pumps

Repairing a heat pump follows the same process as repairing an air conditioning unit. That is because a heat pump is an air conditioning unit running in reverse. The heat-pump professionals at Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating are fully trained in all aspects of heat pumps and can make repairs and have heat back in your home quickly.

The most common problems that we face with a heat-pump are blower motors, condenser fan motors, capacitors, and contacts. All of the heat-pump technicians at Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating are equipped to handle any of these problems. Here is a list of other common malfunctions that we inspect for:

• Malfunctioning Thermostats
• Analysis of Control and Circuit Boards
• Inspection of Control Sensors
• Inspection of Blower Motors and Wheels
• Inspection of the Compressor
• Make Sure There are no Clogged Coils
• Inspection of the Defrost Control
