Electric heaters don’t emit toxic gas into the atmosphere. Therefore, they don’t require ventilation and reduce your home’s carbon footprint. They also have fewer components inside of the unit, meaning there’s less chance of something going wrong. However, there will inevitably come a time when your electric heater requires heating repair in Mundelein, IL.
Common Electric Heater Repairs
Power Issues
Electric heaters often plug into a standard 110/120v outlet inside your home. However, some units may have higher electrical requirements that require an updated outlet. Get proper installation, especially if the unit has higher electrical requirements. If your heater isn’t working immediately after installation, the outlet may not be able to support it.
If the heater worked well but suddenly stopped working, the unit may have blown a fuse or automatically shut down to prevent damage to the unit in the case of a power surge. Hit the reset button on the unit (if applicable) or reset the circuit at the electrical panel.
Finally, check the cord for damage. If the cord manages to become damaged, it can lead to an electrical hazard. You must replace the cord before you can use the unit again.
No or Inconsistent Heat
Heating elements are used in electric heaters to produce heat. If the heating element inside of the unit becomes damaged, it won’t produce heat. A repair tech can replace the faulty heating element.
If the unit produces heat but not the correct heat, that indicates a potential problem with the sensors inside of the unit or the thermostat is malfunctioning.
