Heating System Repair
Heating System Repair
Heat strips, heat pumps and furnaces — diagnosed on the two or three cold nights a year when Florida actually needs them.
Florida heating fails in a very particular way: it sits unused for ten or eleven months, and then it is asked to work on the first genuinely cold night of the year, when every other system in the region is being asked the same thing. Heat strips that corroded quietly over the summer, sequencers that stick, heat pumps whose reversing valves have seized in cooling position, and furnaces whose igniters gave up long ago all announce themselves on the same evening.
That pattern is exactly why we run heating calls 24/7 and why a pre-season heating check is worth more here than people expect. Diagnosis covers the whole heating path — the call for heat at the thermostat, the sequencer or control board, the elements or burners themselves, the safety limits, and the airflow that carries the heat into the house. Central Florida properties in Polk, Orange and Osceola counties lean on heating considerably harder than the coast does, and we service both halves of the system in those markets.
Common heating faults
- The system blows air that never gets warm
- A burning or scorched smell on the first run of the season
- The heat runs briefly and then cuts out on a safety limit
- A heat pump stuck in cooling mode when set to heat
- The breaker trips when the heat strips energise
- Auxiliary heat running constantly on a mild night
What the repair includes
- Full diagnosis from thermostat call through to element or burner
- Heat strip, sequencer and contactor testing and replacement
- Heat pump reversing valve, defrost board and sensor diagnosis
- Furnace igniter, flame sensor and limit switch service
- Safety limit and high-temperature cutout verification
- Airflow check — most heating faults present as an airflow problem first

Central Florida coverageHeating System Repair — common questions
Why does my heat smell like burning the first time I use it?
Usually dust burning off heat strips that have sat idle all year, and it should clear within a few minutes. A smell that persists, or any smell of hot plastic, is a reason to shut the system down and call.
Do you cover heating in the Lakeland area?
Yes — and heating matters considerably more inland than it does on the coast. Our Central Florida operation covers Polk, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties.
