Common Heating Service Questions

Roof heating cables will last less than the roof itself and will need to be replaced every two to 10 years. This is an extreme variance and largely depends on the climate you’re in, the type of cable installed, and the risk of physical damage to the cables. Constant preventative maintenance will help to extend their life span.

Leaks, pressure loss, air in the system, burner failures, and thermostat malfunctions are common problems that require professional repair.

Turning off a water heater isn’t inherently dangerous, but there can be some risks involved depending on your situation. Most importantly, being inside your home when there is a gas leak can be extremely dangerous. Rather than try to assess the problem yourself if you smell gas, you should leave your home and call 911, followed by your local gas company to report the issue. Additionally, shutting off your water heater when on vacation can be dangerous if the temperature dips below freezing, as this could lead to burst pipes and water damage.

No, it is not safe to leave a propane heater on overnight. Even if you’re using the heater in a well-ventilated space, the heaters can emit carbon monoxide that can lead to fires. Be sure to fully turn off and secure the propane heater before clearing the area. 

Yes, wind can turn off a pilot light, especially during major storms. If you aren’t sure why your pilot light keeps going out, it might be because drafts or breezes are getting into your home. There might also be problems with your home’s ventilation system. Either way, it’s best to work with an HVAC pro to identify and fix these issues.
