One of the most common heating repair issues we encounter in Granada Hills homes is a faulty igniter or flame sensor on gas furnaces. Modern furnaces use electronic igniters that can crack or fail over time, preventing the burners from lighting. A dirty flame sensor can also cause the burner to light briefly then shut off, a condition known as flame roll-out. This is often mistaken for a more serious problem, but it’s usually a simple fix. Our technicians can quickly test both components and replace them as needed. Another frequent issue is a malfunctioning thermostat. Many homeowners don’t realize that thermostat problems can mimic furnace failures. A miscalibrated thermostat may not call for heat when the temperature drops, or a dead battery or wiring issue can prevent communication with the furnace. We’ll test your thermostat and replace it if needed.
For older furnaces common in many Granada Hills homes, pilot light issues are frequent. A pilot light that won’t stay lit is often caused by a dirty or faulty thermocouple. The thermocouple is a safety device that detects whether the pilot light is lit. If it malfunctions, it shuts off the gas supply. We can quickly test and replace a faulty thermocouple, restoring heat to your home. Another common issue in older furnaces is a cracked heat exchanger — a serious safety hazard. Signs include strange odors (similar to exhaust fumes), soot buildup around the furnace, corrosion, or a flame that flickers or changes color when the blower fan starts. If we find a cracked heat exchanger, we recommend immediate replacement.
For heat pump systems — common in newer Granada Hills homes — the most frequent repair we perform is addressing refrigerant leaks. Heat pumps rely on refrigerant to transfer heat from outdoors to indoors. When refrigerant levels drop due to a leak, the system loses heating capacity and may develop ice on the outdoor unit. This is often mistaken for a defrost cycle issue. Our technicians use electronic leak detectors to pinpoint the exact location of the leak — typically at brazed joints, Schrader valves, or coil connections. We repair the leak, then evacuate and recharge the system to manufacturer specifications.
Another common repair for heat pumps is a failed reversing valve. The reversing valve directs refrigerant flow to switch the system between heating and cooling modes. If the valve becomes stuck, your system may be stuck in cooling mode — blowing cold air when you need heat. We can diagnose a faulty reversing valve and replace it. We also frequently repair or replace outdoor fan motors, which can fail due to weather exposure or age. A failed fan motor reduces heat transfer efficiency and can cause the system to trip on high-pressure safety switches.
