Warmth Restored When the Cold Hits Hard

Hayes Heating and Cooling repairs furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps for homes throughout Puyallup, Washington.

When your heater stops working on a damp November night in Puyallup, the problem could be a cracked ignitor, a clogged burner, or a malfunctioning thermostat that prevents your system from cycling on. Hayes Heating and Cooling responds to heating failures quickly, including emergency service during nights and weekends when indoor temperatures drop and safety becomes a concern. If your furnace is blowing cold air, your heat pump is stuck in defrost mode, or your boiler is not heating evenly, a repair visit can diagnose the issue and restore warmth.

Heater repair services cover gas furnaces, electric furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps from multiple manufacturers and configurations. The technician inspects the ignition system, tests airflow, checks for gas leaks, and measures voltage at the control board. In many cases, the repair involves replacing a worn part rather than installing a new heating system, which saves both time and cost.

If you are in Puyallup and your heating system is not working, contact Hayes Heating and Cooling to request heater repair service.

What the Technician Checks During a Heater Repair Visit

When you call for service in Puyallup, the technician arrives with diagnostic equipment, common replacement parts, and tools to service gas, electric, and hydronic heating systems. The repair begins with testing the thermostat, inspecting the circuit breaker, and examining the heat exchanger or burner assembly for cracks or blockages. If airflow is weak, the technician checks the blower motor, belt tension, and filter condition.

Once the repair is complete, your system should heat the home to the thermostat setting, run without unusual noise, and cycle on and off normally. Most repairs prevent the issue from recurring for the rest of the heating season.

Hayes Heating and Cooling works on both older systems and high-efficiency models, and the team understands how cold, damp conditions in Puyallup affect heating performance. Heater repair does not include chimney liner replacement or major ductwork modifications, but it covers the components that directly affect your ability to stay warm. If the system is too old or damaged to repair economically, the technician will explain your replacement options.

Most people want clarity before scheduling service

Homeowners in Puyallup often ask about repair costs, emergency availability, and what to do if the system fails completely. These are the questions that come up during most heating service calls.

What are the most common causes of heater failure?
Ignition problems, dirty burners, and blower motor failures are the most frequent issues. Lack of annual maintenance often accelerates these problems, especially when the system runs continuously during cold weather.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency heating failure?
Hayes Heating and Cooling offers emergency service after hours and on weekends. Response time depends on the day and call volume, but the team prioritizes heating failures that affect safety or vulnerable occupants.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
If your furnace runs but does not produce heat, the ignitor may be broken, the flame sensor may be dirty, or the gas valve may be closed. A technician will test each component to determine the cause.
What should I check before calling for heater repair?
Make sure your thermostat is set to heat, the circuit breaker has not tripped, and the filter is not clogged. If the system still does not work, it is time to schedule a repair visit.
When should I replace my heater instead of repairing it?
If your system is over twenty years old, requires a cracked heat exchanger replacement, or has needed multiple repairs in the past two years, replacement is usually the better choice. The technician will help you compare costs and options.
