Los Angeles Heating Repair

Our Diagnostic Process

Efficiently pinpointing the problem is the key to effective and lasting repair work. While every property and challenge is a little bit different, our approach to the repair process follows these general lines: 

Visual Inspection 

We look for cracks, rust, or wear that could affect performance or longevity. Identifying these issues early allows us to understand the physical state of your system before deeper analysis begins. We check your vents, ducts, and filters for obstructions that may reduce airflow or cause uneven heating. 

Removing or addressing these blockages helps restore proper system function. Gas leaks, frayed wiring, and improper venting are carefully assessed. Addressing these hazards promptly protects both the system and your home’s safety.

Airflow Measurement and System Cycling

Measuring how air moves through your system to detect low or excessive airflow can indicate duct leaks or blockages. Correct airflow is critical for both efficiency and comfort. Our team observes how your heating system cycles on and off during operation. Frequent or irregular cycling can reveal thermostat issues, clogged filters, or mechanical problems that affect performance.

Electrical Testing 

We test voltage and continuity in your system’s electrical components using multimeters. This step uncovers problems such as shorted wiring, worn-out capacitors, or faulty connections that could cause system shutdowns.

Combustion Analysis

For gas or propane systems, we measure how efficiently fuel is burning and check carbon monoxide levels. Incomplete combustion or improper fuel-to-air ratios can lead to higher energy costs and potential safety risks, so identifying these issues is vital.

Pressure and Diagnostic Monitoring

Manometers and pressure gauges allow us to measure airflow and system pressures, which helps detect duct leaks, refrigerant imbalances, or other inefficiencies. By reviewing manufacturer charts and error codes, we can identify sensor failures, component malfunctions, or other system irregularities. This data-driven approach enables precise repair recommendations.
