A heat pump is a conglomeration of a lot of different smaller components. We’ve touched on HVAC sounds on this blog numerous times, but we’d like to talk about a specific sound in regards to a specific system. A rattling heat pump is a problem that many homeowners might ignore due to budgeting or the fact that the heat pump still works, but just because a system still works doesn’t mean it’s working well.
The components of your system could be unhinged, misaligned, or running into serious problems that could be quickly fixed when you call our team for heater repair in Orinda, CA. We are experts in heat pump problem diagnosis, as well as the targeted repairs of issues that plague homeowners.
If your heat pump is rattling when you run it, be sure to read the rest of this blog. Ignoring the issue could lead to expensive repairs down the road. If you’re unsure about your next steps, it might be helpful to learn why your heat pump is running for so long, as that could also signal underlying mechanical issues that need attention.
Don’t think we forgot about all the heat pump and furnace owners in our area. If you’re the owner of a forced-air heating system, then this blog post is specifically designed to help target a problem that we see all the time. We’re going to focus on issues with a blower motor, one of the integral components of a heating system that uses hot air to heat a home.
That’s a very good question, and something that we’re honestly trying to get homeowners to think about more. Heaters aren’t meant to last forever, but we would never want you to replace your heating system before it actually needs to be replaced, right? After all, you want to have your heating system run for as long as possible, just like you would a car or a phone. If it’s worth over a thousand dollars to install, then you really should try to get your money’s worth.
This is a question we get from homeowners pretty often. If it’s not a question you’ve asked a professional before, then you might want to add it to your list of questions. And, if you’re one of the many homeowners who doesn’t even know what the heat exchanger is, then you’re in the right place!

Furnaces aren’t supposed to have safety issues. While people might think because combustion is occuring, that gas furnaces are dangerous pieces of equipment, it’s simply not as true as you’d think. It’s true that furnaces burn natural gas to heat your air, but they’re built with the durability and resilience to go their entire lifespan without a safety issue—if they’re maintained or repaired correctly.
Think about all the blog posts you see, the ads on your computer, and the commercials on TV that talk about how to tell you that you need to see a doctor. While it might sound like a silly question, it’s 100% serious. How can you tell that you need help from a professional? This is a point that we want to address head-on in today’s blog post regarding your home comfort system.
Bills are bills, we pay them no matter what they cost. It’s just the nature of being a homeowner. Your monthly fuel bill isn’t like a parking ticket that you can try to get reduced with a plea deal, or that you’ve got any luck trying to fight against. Bills represent the amount of fuel and energy we consume, and that’s that.
Temperatures are finally warming up a bit in our area, which means it’s just about time to shut our heaters down for the season, schedule an AC tune-up, and start enjoying the comfort an effective cooling system can deliver. But wait, before we talk about shutting our heaters down—how did yours perform this past winter? Did it show any signs of struggle? Were you told it needed repairs, but have yet to take care of them?
We may not experience the frigid temperatures that our friends in the Midwest do, particularly lately, but our winters still necessitate the use of a fully functioning, efficiently operating, heating system. So if your heating system is experiencing problems right now, we understand the concern! Fortunately, though, if you can detect problems with your furnace early enough, you can have them repaired before they develop into a complete system breakdown.
