If your car or your computer started making odd noises, we hope you wouldn’t ignore it. After all, these noises may be the warning sign that allows you to catch a repair need before it shuts the whole system down.

There are noises that your heater should and shouldn’t make. Let’s look at these two categories so you can figure out if your system needs a heater repair in Fresno, CA.
After a summer of heat, the cool evenings and mornings that we see during fall are a welcome change. As things slowly but surely start to cool down, it means that we will be switching from cooling to heating.

We may not see the below-zero temperatures that some other areas do during wintertime, but it still gets cold in Fresno at this time of year. And when the weather gets chilly, it pays to have a good heater in your home to keep things warm and comfortable.
A heater that isn’t able to heat your home really isn’t a heater. Until you get the system heating again or replace it with a system that does create warmth, you really just have an overly expensive fan in your home that you really don’t want to use.
