We’ll Fix Your Heater
While summers may be hot, winters in Winston-Salem are mild at best. Temperatures get down near freezing at night, which means you’ll want a reliable heater to warm you up. Space heaters are insufficient, since it’s not advisable to sleep with one on or leave one on when you leave the room due to fire and health risks. It’s better to make sure your home heating system is working properly, and the best time to do that is before winter arrives.
Blaze Heating, Cooling, Electrical & Plumbing provides heating repair in Winston-Salem, NC, including heater maintenance services. We’ll fix any issues that are causing your heater to malfunction and we’ll take preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of running into worse issues in the future.

Signs You Need Heater Repair
You may be curious to know how to tell when your heating system needs professional repair services. Don’t worry—we’ve put together a list of symptoms you might experience if heating repair is something you should schedule. Sometimes your heater is beyond repair, in which case we do offer heating replacement. Contact Blaze Heating, Cooling, Electrical & Plumbing if you are experiencing any of the following.
Cool Air
If your heater is on, but the air coming out of your vents is cold, that is a problem that requires repair from a professional HVAC technician.
Pilot Light Not Blue
Your pilot light should always be blue. If it’s burning yellow or orange, contact us immediately.
Strange Sounds
Other than a light blowing noise, you shouldn’t hear your heater. If you hear banging or other concerning noises, that means something is broken.
Higher-than-Expected Utility Bills
When your heat usage doesn’t match how high your utility bills are, that’s cause for concern. Have one of our HVAC specialists look into the issue and see if your heater is working properly.
Running Continuously
Your heater should cycle occasionally, turning off when it’s not needed. If it’s always on no matter what, that means something is going wrong with your heater that needs to be addressed.
Cycling Frequently
Similar to above, if your heating system is cycling but it’s doing it more than three times per hour, you should get your heater checked.
Inefficient Heating
If your heater is blowing warm air, but your home isn’t heating up to the temperature you’re requesting, that could be an issue with your thermostat or another problem with your system.
Why Heating Maintenance Matters
In order to get the most out of your heating system, regular heater maintenance is paramount. We recommend getting heating maintenance performed at least once per year to keep your heater in tip-top shape. Here are a few reasons why you should invent in routine maintenance for your heating system:
- Increased Longevity: When a heating system is well maintained, it will last longer. This means you can delay getting a costly replacement for more years.
