Arab Sheet Metal services gas furnaces, electric heating systems, and heat pumps for residential homeowners in Arab, Alabama. We diagnose first. We do not recommend a replacement until we know what is actually wrong.
We work on residential heating systems, primarily gas furnaces and heat pump systems in homes with existing ductwork. Our focus is accurate diagnosis. We find the problem, explain it clearly, and repair it correctly the first time.
Heating problems are easiest and cheapest to fix before a full breakdown. Contact us during business hours if you notice any of the following.
Furnace runs but the home does not warm to the thermostat setting. Could indicate airflow restriction, a heat exchanger issue, or a failing burner.
A bang on startup can mean delayed ignition in a gas furnace. Squealing often points to a worn blower belt or bearing. Neither should be ignored.
If your furnace fails to start, short-cycles, or frequently loses its flame, the igniter, thermocouple, or gas valve may need service.
Low airflow from vents can indicate a clogged filter, a failing blower motor, or ductwork problems. Start by checking and replacing the filter.
A heating system that has to work harder to maintain temperature costs more to run. A tune-up can restore efficiency and lower your bills.
A burning smell at startup can be dust burning off, which is normal after a long idle period. A persistent gas smell is not normal. Turn off the furnace and call us.
We ask about the problem: when it started, what you have noticed, and any recent changes. Context helps us find the issue faster.
We inspect the furnace, check electrical connections, examine the heat exchanger for cracks, and assess the blower and ignition system.
We run the system through its cycle and measure performance. Gas pressure, temperature rise, and airflow all give us diagnostic information.
We explain exactly what we found and what it will take to fix it. If the repair does not make economic sense, we tell you that too.
The best time to service your heating system is in the fall, before you need it every night. A pre-season tune-up catches problems while you have time to address them, rather than on a cold night when heat is not optional.
