Why Ukiah Homeowners Choose Stout's Heating & AC

Maintenance That Prevents Future Breakdowns
Most heater problems start small. A loose wire, a dirty filter, or a weak blower motor can slowly turn into a full system breakdown. Maintenance catches those early — and often saves you hundreds of dollars.
Common Heater Problems in Ukiah (and How We Fix Them)
No Heat or Weak Heat
This usually means something isn’t igniting or the system can’t push enough warm air. We check:
- Heating elements
- Igniter
- Gas valves
- Thermostat
- Blower motor
- Heat exchanger
- Control board
Using tools like multimeters, combustion analyzers, HVAC thermometers, and voltage testers, we pinpoint failures and replace worn components.
Strange Noises
Banging, squealing, grinding, or humming usually point to:
- Worn blower motors
- Loose fan components
- Failing bearings
- Airflow problems
- Ductwork vibration
We repair or replace damaged parts and address airflow issues.
Thermostat or Electrical Issues
If the heater doesn’t respond or shuts down randomly, the culprit is often:
- Faulty thermostat
- Loose wiring
- Bad capacitor
- Failing control board
We test voltage, wiring continuity, and calibration. If needed, we install a new thermostat or replace electrical components.
High Energy Bills or Weak Airflow
Common causes include:
- Dirty filters
- Duct leaks
- Blocked vents
- Inefficient older equipment
We inspect ductwork, improve insulation, replace filters, and test airflow.
Gas or Safety Concerns
If you notice a yellow pilot light, irregular flames, or burnt smells, the system may have:
- Incomplete combustion
- Ventilation issues
- Cracked heat exchanger
- Gas leaks
We run full safety tests and shut down unsafe systems immediately until repairs are complete.

Repair or Replace? Here’s the Honest Answer
Most homeowners ask us the same question: “Should I fix it or replace it?”
Here’s the simple breakdown:
Choose Repair If:
- The heater is under 12–15 years old
- The problem is small (igniter, thermostat, sensor, filter, flame sensor)
- Parts are inexpensive and easy to replace
Choose Replacement If:
- The system is 15–20+ years old
- Repairs happen often
- Energy bills keep climbing
- The heat exchanger or blower motor fails
- Repair cost is nearing half the price of a new system
We’ll show you the condition of your heater, explain what’s failing, and help you choose the most cost-effective option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if my heater needs repair or just maintenance?
If your heater makes noises, won’t heat evenly, cycles too often, or smells odd, it’s almost always a repair issue. Maintenance is for cleaning, tuning, and preventing breakdowns.
How often should I replace my furnace filter?
Most homes should replace filters every 1–3 months during the heating season. Dusty homes or homes with pets may need more frequent changes.
My heater is more than 15 years old. Should I still repair it?
Repairs can work, but older systems tend to fail often and waste energy. A replacement may save you more money in the long run.
What should I do if I smell gas or burning odors?
Turn off the heater, leave the home if needed, and call immediately. Safety issues should never wait.
Do you offer emergency heater repair?
Yes. We prioritize urgent no-heat calls and help homeowners as quickly as possible.
How much does heater repair cost?
It depends on the issue. Simple repairs cost less. Major parts cost more. You always get a clear estimate before we begin.
Can maintenance really help my heater last longer?
Definitely. Regular cleaning, filter changes, airflow checks, and safety inspections all help prevent bigger problems and extend system life.
