ACCREDITEDIf you own a heating system in or around Greater Boston, it's important to be aware of the most common problems that can occur with your unit so that you can quickly identify issues and seek repair services to maintain optimal warmth and energy efficiency during cold New England winters.
"No heat" means something different for each kind of system. A gas furnace runs a proving chain before it fires: the inducer motor starts, the pressure switch confirms draft, the igniter lights, the flame sensor confirms flame. Any link that fails to prove itself stops the cycle, so a furnace that lights and quits seconds later is often a dirty flame sensor rather than a gas problem. High-efficiency furnaces add a condensate drain that clogs, or freezes at the exit.
Steam and hot-water boilers are common in older houses and multifamily buildings here, and they fail through water and pressure, not draft. A pressuretrol reads through a pigtail that clogs with sediment and blinds the control; a low-water cutoff shuts the burner when the level drops or surges; banging comes from water trapped in badly pitched pipes.
Heat pumps confuse in winter. Frost on the outdoor coil and a burst of steam during defrost are normal; a coil turned into a block of ice is not, and points at the defrost control, reversing valve, outdoor fan or charge. Maintenance follows the same split: a filter for the furnace, a blowdown for the boiler, a clean coil for the heat pump.

Troubleshooting guides from our Boston technicians
A humming compressor and warm rooms usually has an upstream cause. The filter, the returns, the outdoor fan and two thermostat traps, in the order a technician checks them.
Most no-heat calls in the first cold week are a switch, a filter, a blocked drain or a sensor with a film on it. The order to work through, the flash code to write down, and the four symptoms that mean stop.
Two honest quotes for the same repair can differ by hundreds. Diagnostic fees, OEM versus generic parts, warranty that covers parts but not labor, refrigerant by the pound, and four questions that make quotes comparable.
A ductless system reports its own faults if you read them. Blink codes, frost on the suction line, the drain that leaks down the wall, and why repeat refrigerant loss is an installation problem.
Refrigerant is not consumed, so a system that is low has a leak. What a real leak search looks like, what the R-410A phase-down changed, and the point where topping up stops being rational.
