What to do while you wait
- Set the system to off instead of raising the setpoint, which will not force it to run.
- Check whether the outdoor unit on a heat pump is iced over, and do not chip at it.
- Look at the filter and replace it if light will not pass through.
- Never heat a room with a gas range or an outdoor appliance. That is a carbon monoxide risk.

Waukegan HVAC questions
Why is my heat pump running constantly?
A heat pump that never cycles off is usually low on charge, iced on the outdoor coil, or leaning on auxiliary resistance heat because the reversing valve is not completing the switch into heating mode.
Do I have to be home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the thermostat and the equipment itself, and someone has to approve the quoted price before work begins. For combustion appliances they may also want to check alarms.
What does heating repair cost in Waukegan?
We do not quote prices. The provider who attends confirms the price on site before work begins. Boiler and heat pump work generally takes longer to diagnose than a straightforward furnace fault.
What should I do before the provider arrives?
Set the thermostat to off rather than leaving it calling for heat against a locked-out system, replace a loaded filter, and close off unused rooms. Keep anyone vulnerable in the warmest part of the house.
What if my furnace is still under warranty?
Parts warranties of five to ten years are common, labor warranties are not. Have the model and serial number ready when you call so the provider can check coverage before fitting anything.
