Sometimes, your heater breaks in the dead middle of winter. And here in Central Oregon, your home’s heating system makes it a safe, cozy haven from winter weather. But what if your heater goes out?

But don’t worry, HVAC repair Redmond professionals are available through Bend Heating and Sheet Metal! Our HVAC residential requests go to the front of the line. So no matter what season it is, you can expect timely and experienced repairs.
Potential Issues With Your Heating System That Need HVAC Repair
First things first: how to keep warm while you wait for HVAC repair services.
If You Have A Gas Furnace:
Gas furnaces are overwhelmingly the type of heating solution we see in Central Oregon. If your furnace breaks down, there could be a number of causes. Potential issues include fuel supply, ignitor issues, a faulty thermostat, a dirty filter, or a blower motor. For parts replacement, sometimes you may wait a few days if we need to order it. In that case, if you don’t have heat, turn on your fireplace (electric or wood burning) or run space heaters until your service appointment.
If You Have A Mini-Split (Ductless Heat Pump):
Mini-splits can act up in sustained colder temperatures, often prompting error codes for a variety of issues. But don’t worry, a trained service technician can help diagnose the problem. Drain pan heaters are one protective measure you can take in colder temperatures to keep condenser coils from freezing and breaking. Some mini-split brands don’t include a drain pan heater, so it’s best to call an HVAC expert to diagnose the real issue with your mini-split. While you wait for your service appointment, space heaters again are the best possible option to keep you warm and cozy
If You Have a Heat Pump:
Most traditional ducted heat pumps have issues when refrigerant levels are too low, the air handler or air ducts are blocked by something, or the coils are in need of a good cleaning. It may also be an issue with your thermostat (which is best diagnosed by a qualified HVAC professional). One great aspect of heat pumps is how some include built-in heat strips. These kick on temporarily when either the temperature outside is too cold for the condenser to keep up or the condenser fails. This feature is designed to keep you warm while you wait for HVAC repairs. In any of these situations, it’s best to call for help as soon as possible and get the heat flowing back into your home again!
