Norwalk Furnace Repair Service
When your furnace acts up, it’s sometimes difficult to know when it’s safe for a DIY repair and when to call the experts. Here are the most common situations where it’s best to call a professional heating technician.
- Gas Odor If you have a gas-powered furnace and smell rotten eggs or sulfur, call a professional as soon as possible. A gas leak isn’t something to ignore because it can cause sickness or death in extreme cases.
- Ignition Problems Another issue that is best left to professionals is an ignition or combustion one. Today’s high-efficiency furnaces surpass everything that came before when it comes to performance; however, many of these systems suffer from combustion issues that require a trained expert to fix.
- Electrical Problems If the lights flicker or the breakers trip when your furnace starts up, call a trusted furnace repair service immediately. It may be a wiring issue or a sign of impending furnace failure, and it’s safe to let a pro check it.
- The Furnace Won’t Start If your furnace won’t start up no matter what you try, it’s difficult to determine the problem yourself, especially if you don’t have the training. An experienced pro can diagnose the issue more quickly and determine if it is solvable via repair or if your furnace needs to be replaced.
- Short Cycling Short cycling refers to a heating or cooling system that switches on and off repeatedly without reaching the desired temperature. Short cycling happens for many reasons, including dirty air filters, thermostat failure, or an oversized system. Like the other problems on this list, it’s quicker to call a trained professional than to diagnose the problem yourself.
Lambert Heating and Air Conditioningg technicians are skilled to work on virtually all major brands and can quickly diagnose the cause of your furnace issue, saving you time and money.

Yes, a Heater Tune-Up Is Necessary
It’s true that most heating and cooling contractors strongly advocate for annual system maintenance, but many people think this is simply a way for them to earn more money. However, heater tune-ups are vital, and here’s why.
- They Prevent Sudden Failure Scheduling annual maintenance is an excellent way to prevent catastrophic breakdowns and failure down the road. Most furnace failures happen because the owner ignored their system for years and minor problems grew into major ones. Like taking your car in for regular oil changes and maintenance, scheduling a yearly heater tune-up can keep your system running smoothly.
- They Keep Energy Bills In Check The cost of everything is rising, including energy, so it’s crucial to save as much as possible. A poorly maintained furnace works harder to keep you comfortable and uses more energy. Experts agree that routine heating tune-ups can save you up to 30% on your energy expenses.
- They Can Maintain Your Warranty Furnace warranties vary by manufacturer, but many require the owner to schedule annual maintenance from a trained professional to maintain the warranty’s validity. Skipping yearly tune-ups can cost you significantly should you need a major repair or replacement.
If you can’t remember the last time you had a pro check out your furnace or heater, call Lambert Heating and Air Conditioning today to book an appointment.
