Our Pinole on the Hill house has a Heil furnace in a hall closet. Is the closet big enough?

It needs enough clearance for service and enough air for combustion and return. A solid closet door without louvers can starve the burner. We check the clearances on the furnace label, the door and the return path during the visit.

Should we get a carbon monoxide check on an older Heil furnace?

Yes, once a year is sensible for any gas furnace in an older house. We test at the flue and in the room, look at the heat exchanger for cracks and check that the vent draws properly. You get the readings in writing.

Can a Heil heat pump replace the gas furnace in our postwar house?

Often, yes, if the ducts can carry the airflow a heat pump needs, which is more than an old furnace used. We measure the ducts and the heating load first. Sometimes the ducts need work before a heat pump makes sense, and we put that in the quote.

Heil in Pinole

Heil heating and cooling in Pinole.

Much of Pinole's housing dates from the postwar boom of the 1940s through the 1960s, and single-family houses far outnumber everything else. A furnace in one of those homes has likely been replaced more than once, and each replacement had to fit venting, gas piping and ducts older than the equipment. A Heil QuietComfort furnace suits that kind of swap: plain, single-stage and built on the Carrier platform.

That is why a Heil repair in Pinole covers the parts around the furnace. We look at the flue, the draft, the gas connector and the return air, and we test for carbon monoxide at the furnace. The technician who covers Pinole works out of Benicia. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and you see a written quote before work begins. CSLB #1136642.

Common repairs we handle.

Hot surface igniter cracked after years of cycling. The igniter heats and cools on every cycle, and eventually it cracks and stops glowing. The inducer runs, the board tries three times and locks out. We measure the igniter, check the voltage the board sends to it, and fit the matching Carrier family part.
Flue or draft problem on an older vent. A newer furnace connected to an old vent can draft poorly, especially if the pipe sags or the cap is damaged. The pressure switch may trip, or combustion gases may spill. We inspect the vent run, test the draft and carbon monoxide, and tell you plainly what needs fixing.
Heat pump outdoor unit short-cycling. On a Heil heat pump, short-cycling often comes from a failing contactor, a weak capacitor or a thermostat mounted in a drafty spot. We watch a full cycle, test the electrical parts and relocate the thermostat if it is reading wrong.
