Common Heating Repairs

Whether the repair is as simple as replacing the batteries in your thermostat or something more complex, our professionals are here to help find and repair the issue. Some of the common heating repairs we encounter in Denham Springs and nearby areas include the following:

  • Clogged Furnace Filters: Similar to air filters for air conditioners, furnace filters can become clogged with dust, pet dander, and debris. During furnace maintenance, our technicians will replace dirty furnace filters, restoring system efficiency and functionality.
  • Strange Noises or Smells: Abnormal odors or sounds coming from your heater are never a good sign. If you notice a change in smell or noise when your furnace is on, turn off your heating system immediately. It could be the result of a gas leak or electrical issues.
  • Carbon Monoxide Is Detected: Carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless, making it extremely difficult to detect. A carbon monoxide detector may be the only way to notice the presence of this gas in the air. Leave your house immediately and contact UBA Heating and Cooling if you suspect a carbon monoxide leak.
  • Pilot Light Changed Color: Pilot lights should always be blue. If it is yellow, it indicates that your furnace requires repair. Our contractors can safely relight pilot lights.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, it’s essential to contact us as soon as possible so we can assist in repairing the problem and get your furnace back up and running efficiently. Our experienced technicians will quickly assess the situation and provide the necessary repairs to ensure your home stays comfortable and your system operates at its best.

Key Factors for New Heater Installation

Heating your Denham Springs home requires a system that is correctly sized for your Louisiana climate and installed with maximum efficiency. Choosing a new heater is a significant investment, making it essential to look beyond the initial purchase price and consider long-term operating costs and system suitability.

  • Accurate System Sizing (BTU Load Calculation): Never rely only on square footage; a professional load calculation is required to account for insulation, windows, and air tightness. Correct sizing prevents a unit from short-cycling or running constantly, which wastes energy and leads to premature wear on the system. 
  • Energy Efficiency Rating (AFUE): Always prioritize a high Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating for gas furnaces to guarantee maximum energy savings. High efficiency means less fuel is wasted, providing the best long-term return on your significant investment.
  • Ductwork Condition and Sealing: Thoroughly inspect and air-seal your existing ductwork for leaks or improper sizing before installing a new heater. A high-efficiency unit cannot perform optimally if damaged ducts leak conditioned air into unheated spaces, such as the attic. 
  • Type of System and Fuel Source: Select the optimal system—gas furnace, electric furnace, or heat pump—based on your home’s infrastructure and efficiency goals. Heat pumps are ideal for mild Louisiana weather, offering dual heating and cooling functions with excellent efficiency.
  • Warranty, Licensing, and Permitting: Always verify that your HVAC contractor is fully licensed and will obtain all necessary local permits from the relevant building authorities. 

Making a careful, informed decision on these factors ensures that you select a heating system that provides quiet, reliable, and energy-efficient comfort tailored to your home. Trust the heater installation company Denham Springs homeowners rely on.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature and are often found in paints, cleaning products, and adhesives. These compounds can be harmful as they contribute to indoor air pollution and can cause short-tern health effects, such as headaches, dizziness, and respiratory issues. Long-term exposure to these pollutants can lead to chronic health problems, such as liver and kidney damage. We recommend using low-VOC or VOC-free products to maintain a healthy indoor air quality.
Yes, a whole-house air purifier can effectively address odors and smoke. These systems are designed to filter out a variety of airborne particles, such as smoke, pet odors, cooking smells, and other household odors. They usually feature activated carbon filters that absorb and neutralize odors, along with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that trap smoke particles. By continuously circulating and purifying the air throughout your home, a whole-house air purifier can greatly enhance indoor air quality, creating a fresher and healthier environment for you and your family.
When deciding which air cleaners are right for you, it’s essential to consider their effectiveness in reducing indoor air pollutants and potential health risks. We recommend looking for HEPA filters, which are designed to capture fine particles from the air, along with assessing the MERV rating, which indicates how efficient an air filter is. Guidelines for comparison include evaluating the cleaner’s ability to remove pollutants, its suitability for your space, energy efficiency, and noise levels.
Your heat pump should be serviced annually at a minimum. Bi-annual service is usually recommended, as heat pumps operate year-round. We recommend scheduling service in the early spring and early fall to help ensure the system is ready for the scalding Louisiana summers and harsh winters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is "Short Cycling"?

Short cycling occurs when your heating system turns on for a very short period, quickly satisfies the thermostat, and then shuts down prematurely. This rapid on-and-off pattern prevents your home from reaching the desired temperature evenly or efficiently. Common causes include an oversized furnace that heats the space too quickly, or a malfunctioning thermostat or flame sensor. Short cycling places excessive wear and tear on the unit’s components and often leads to higher energy bills. If you notice your heater cycling on and off more frequently than normal, you should call a professional for a diagnosis.

Should I Repair or Replace My Old Heater?

The decision to repair or replace your heater often comes down to the $5,000 rule and the age of your unit. If the repair cost exceeds 50% of the cost of a new replacement, or if your heater is older than 15 years, replacement is usually the more financially prudent choice. Older units will continue to experience frequent breakdowns and operate with low energy efficiency, leading to higher utility bills. A replacement guarantees reliable performance, lower energy costs, and includes a full warranty. Our technicians can provide a thorough assessment to help you make the most informed and economical decision for your Denham Springs home.

How Long Does a New Heater Installation Take?

A standard new heater installation or replacement, such as for a furnace or heat pump, typically takes a professional HVAC team between four and eight hours. This timeframe accounts for removing the old unit, installing the new one, and testing the system for proper operation. More complex installations, such as installing new ductwork or making significant modifications to the existing gas or electrical lines, may extend the process to a full day or more. Our installers work efficiently to minimize disruption, ensuring your home’s heat is fully restored the same day.

What Is the Lifespan of a Typical Heating System?

Maintaining your new AC system is simple and crucial for maximizing its energy efficiency and lifespan. The single most important homeowner task is changing the air filter every one to three months, especially during the peak cooling season, to ensure optimal airflow. You must also keep the outdoor condenser unit clean by clearing away leaves, grass clippings, and other debris, ensuring two feet of clearance on all sides. Periodically check the condensate drain line to ensure it is clear, preventing water backup and potential indoor moisture issues. Finally, schedule a professional tune-up every spring to check refrigerant levels, clean the coils, and verify the system’s overall function.

How Often Should I Get Heater Maintenance?

You should schedule professional heater maintenance, often referred to as a tune-up, once a year, ideally in the fall before the cold season begins. Annual maintenance is crucial for ensuring your system operates at peak efficiency, which in turn lowers your energy bills throughout the winter. A tune-up allows technicians to clean internal components, check for dangerous gas or electrical issues, and catch small problems like worn belts before they cause a major breakdown. This preventative service is the best way to extend your heater’s lifespan and ensure reliable warmth all season long.
