Heater Install & Replacements

Making a decision regarding whether or not to replace your heating system or just try and have it repaired can be a difficult decision to make. What it will come down to, though, is the most ideal compromise between cost and comfort level received. We’re happy to help in this process.

Here are some things to consider when deciding whether to repair or replace your heating equipment:

How old is your heater, furnace, or boiler?
Does your current heating system need frequent repairs?
Are your energy bills going up?
Do your rooms feel too hot or not warm enough?

We Can Help You Find the Right Heating Option

In today’s market, there are various heating service options: solar heating, electric heating, furnaces, geothermal heating, boilers, steam, and water radiators. While we encourage you to research replacement systems before it becomes an emergency, you can also consult with our technicians. We can evaluate your current heating system, and recommend a solution that meets your individual needs.

Together, you and our heating service specialists can consider all fuel and heating system types to determine which makes the most sense. Discussing energy saving and efficiency levels, operational and maintenance costs in the beginning will ensure your long-term investment is the right one for you.

Common Furnace and Heater Repair Problems

Sometimes, we expect our heating systems just to run smoothly for as long as we need them to, but then suddenly the furnace starts making noises. Unfortunately, just like any other machine, they have flaws and are prone to malfunction if the proper maintenance or attention isn’t given to them periodically.

Here are some of the most common reasons your furnace or heater may break down:

Clogged or dirty filters resulting in air flow and comfort problems
Airflow problems from fan motors that cause poor heating control or overheating
Thermostat or heat pump malfunctions causing no heat and fan issues
Problems with furnace or heating system ignition control or pilot light
Lack of routine maintenance leading to unexpected breakdowns and increased energy costs

A certified Virginia Beach HVAC technician can quickly diagnose these common problems and make the necessary heating and furnace repairs. Investing in a maintenance plan can prevent nearly all heating problems from taking place.

How Do I Know If My Heater Needs a Tune- Up?

Routine maintenance and annual checkups will help keep your heating system operating at peak performance, but how do you know when it's time for a heater tune-up? Before the heating season, perform maintenance at least once a year, especially before winter approaches.

No matter what type of heating system you have, here are some things you can do to prolong the life of and keep your boiler, furnace, or heater in top condition:

Use a high-efficiency air filter
Keep heat units free of leaves, pollen, and grass
Replace your air filter at least every 90 days
Turn off water to the furnace humidifier in the summer
Replace your carbon monoxide detector battery annually

What Happens During a Heater Tune-Up?

During a routine system tune-up, one of our expert HVAC technicians will check and service all components of your heating system to ensure they operate correctly and at peak efficiency. Key elements of the tune-up process include carbon monoxide checks, equipment safety and clearance, and adequate combustion air checks. Especially during the heating season, we remind our customers of safety measures.

Keep in mind that furnaces of any age may pose safety hazards from combustion or gases, particularly if a certified HVAC technician has not maintained the equipment regularly.

Rave Reviews From Happy Customers

“My son and I needed a new HVAC system since the old unit was approaching 30 years. I did all the homework, searched, researched for the best system paired with the most professional company I could find. Everything led to American Mechanical! I set up an appointment. Neil J. was our install advisor. Neil was thorough and professional. We decided on a system for install. A date was set for the install. Trane was my ultimate choice. The install team consisted of Tony J., Jacob L., and Mason B.. The install team called around 8:00AM ready to install. Tony, Jacob and Mason were professional, but friendly. These guys FINISHED the ENTIRE system by 6:00PM the same day! Great crew! If anyone asks me to recommend a company for HVAC, back-up emergency generators, or electrical work, I will recommend American Mechanical! I cannot recommend enough!” - Dale T.
“Great response time in an emergency situation. Wife got home from having open heart surgery and the AC was barely hanging on, if at all really. Neil not only took a call to our home after 9 at night, but got our system up and running and gave me a quote for new install and rearranged the schedule to prioritize our installation. Nothing but extra steps of going above and beyond for our comfort and satisfaction. In a time where I witnessed the right out “let’s take advantage of a bad situation” from other companies, Neil had our backs and did not try to sell what we didn’t need, no extras, no BS. The installation crew was not only a blessing to see but courteous and professional. From the first phone call I made to job completion, everyone associated with the installation at American Mechanical made me confident I made the right call. I will recommend them and the incredible team that stands behind the crews in the field. 100%.” - Jack H.
“Our air conditioner stopped working and our house was 85 degrees. We have a newborn and were worried about his safety in the heat. Carlton called us back quickly and came out to help us at midnight! He was quick and fixed our air conditioner. He returned again the next day with a part he did not initially have. We were very thankful that Carlton came out so late to help keep our baby safe! I highly recommend American Mechanical and Carlton to help with your HVAC needs!” - Lauren W.
“First off, WOW! Now that that’s out of the way, I called on a Saturday evening after a home renovation project I was working on went terribly wrong. Long story short the family and I were without water and I found myself in too deep. After the call to the 24/7 emergency department they gave me over to Eric, a master plumber. He was at our house promptly and was very professional. Eric is a personable person who has a wealth of knowledge and is straight-forward and honest. I would recommend this company and more specifically Eric to anyone with any home repair needs. Honestly we had a splendid experience and our issue was resolved for a reasonable cost and in a timely manner. Thank you to American Mechanical and thank you to Eric!” - Luke C.
“Sean M. with American Mechanical was exceptional! I had a water leak at the meter which was on my side. The water had to be turned off and was told he couldn’t get back until the next day. He made a phone call and found that the equipment he needed was close to where I live, so he said he would get my water back on that day. The price kind of threw me back for a moment, but we suggested if we dug the holes and filled them back in, would he be able to come down on the price. Thankfully, he took $200 off which was a great savings to me since I’m a widow and getting ready to sell my house soon. I would highly recommend Sean to my family and friends. He was very professional and courteous.” - Kathy H.
“Sean arrived at the agreed time to assess my main water line leak and verified my leak was located in between the city water meter and my home’s main cutoff valve. Sean explained to me my options to either repair or replace the main line and was very transparent with the costs involved with each option provided. Being my main water line was repaired at least one other time by one of my home’s former owner, I decided to have the main water line replaced vice repaired. Once 50% of the repair cost was paid at the time I signed the contract, it took only a couple of days for the repair to be made and it was accomplished exactly as Sean described. No one likes paying a sum of money for unexpected home repairs; but, having a service technician like Sean explain the process thoroughly and provide up-front pricing helps a homeowner like me make an informed decision. I very much appreciate Sean’s pleasant demeanor and courtesy during his assessment of my water leak issue and would not hesitate to request him again for another job or recommend him to others. Thanks!” - Richard B.
“Thank you American Mechanical, Inc. for sending Jason G. to service my generator for the inspection recommended by GENERAC. He definitely met my expectations of an ideal service person. He called me to let me know he was on the way to my home, he was on time, very polite, and a true professional. Thank you, Jason! I have been searching for a company to regularly service my generator and Jason represented your company so well that I plan to use your company for future generator maintenance. I called on Wednesday 7/10/2019 to schedule an appointment. I spoke with Jennifer. She had a friendly phone voice, very professional and she scheduled my appointment for the next day. The quick scheduling of the appointment was shocking but very impressive. You company’s use of technology with the text message to thank me for choosing your company, the reminder appointment text and the text introducing the technician with his photo which also gave me the ability to track the exact time of his arrival is wonderful! There are several people with generators on my street and I will definitely spread the word about American Mechanical, Incorporated.” - Lisa B.
“I just had my Briggs & Stratton generator’s yearly maintenance done, once again by American Mechanical, Inc.. I have had them doing maintenance every year since I had the generator installed in 2008. As always, I received a telephone call first thing in the morning telling me when to expect their technician to contact me with a specific time of arrival. This helped me because I did not have to worry about missing his call or visit. My technician, Dan Steele, called me before arrival and arrived promptly. It was a hot and muggy day and I appreciate his dedication. After walking me through what he would be doing, Dan put up his shelter and set to work. After performing maintenance, Dan let me know it was time to test the system and turned the power off. The generator kicked in just as expected. Dan went over with me a few maintenance items for future attention, and was all done. I highly recommend American Mechanical and Dan Steele for your home generator, and any other home system needs.” - Jeanne S.
“Randy B. and Kevin G. work for American Mechanical as HVAC specialists. They recently replaced all of the air conditioning and heating ducts in my home. Both Randy and Kevin are skilled professionals and are a well organized team. They were both courteous, dres neat and I always got a call or e-mail to let me know they were coming to my home. American Mechanical is fortunate to have them in their employment!” - Bob D.
