Your Heater Broke -- Now What?

A broken heater in a Reading winter is no joke. You need someone who's going to show up fast and actually fix the problem. At JB Plumbing HVAC, we've been repairing heating systems in Berks County since 2011. With 22 employees and 18 trucks, we can usually be at your door the same day you call.

Heating Systems We Repair

Our licensed techs (PA078141) work on all types of heating equipment:

  • Furnaces -- gas, electric, and oil
  • Boilers -- steam and hot water
  • Heat pumps -- standard and mini-split
  • Baseboard heaters
  • Radiant floor heating

Common Heater Problems We See

  • Heater won't turn on -- could be the thermostat, pilot light, or igniter
  • Heater blowing cold air -- often a flame sensor or gas valve issue
  • Strange smells -- burning smell could mean a clogged filter or electrical problem
  • Loud banging or popping -- usually delayed ignition or expanding ducts
  • Heater keeps shutting off -- dirty flame sensor, bad thermocouple, or airflow issue
  • Uneven heating -- some rooms warm, some cold -- could be a ductwork problem
  • High gas or electric bills -- your heater is working overtime

How We Handle Heating Repairs

When you call, we'll ask a few questions to understand what's going on. Our tech shows up with a fully stocked truck, runs a diagnostic, and explains the problem in plain language. You get a price before we do any work. If it's a straightforward fix, we handle it right then and there.

If your heater is old and repairs are getting expensive, we'll be honest about whether a replacement makes more sense. We'd rather give you straight advice than sell you a repair that won't last.

Don't Wait Until It's Freezing

The best time to deal with a heater problem is before it's 20 degrees outside. If your heater is acting up -- making noises, not heating like it used to, or cycling on and off -- call us now before it gets worse.

Better yet, schedule a $99 furnace tune-up or sign up for our maintenance plan at $18.99/month. Regular maintenance catches problems early and keeps your system running efficiently all winter.
