Local considerations
Sustained winter cold exposes cracked heat exchangers and inducer motor wear in older furnaces. Heat pumps in Hammond therefore spend more time in defrost than owners expect, and a defrost cycle that looks like a fault is usually the system working correctly.
Zone thermostats in Hammond multi-zone systems can fail independently without stopping the boiler or furnace. A zone that reads the setpoint but never opens its valve is a thermostat or valve problem, not an equipment problem.

Hammond HVAC questions
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.
My furnace locks out after three tries. What is that?
Three failed ignition attempts followed by a lockout usually means the flame sensor is dirty, the igniter is weak or gas pressure is wrong. After a long idle summer, cleaning resolves it more often than replacing parts does.
Is a cracked heat exchanger repairable?
No. A cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk rather than a comfort fault, and the correct response is replacement of the furnace. Any provider suggesting a patch on one is giving you poor advice.
Can I run a space heater meanwhile?
Portable heaters carry their own fire risk and should never be left running unattended or near fabric. Never use a gas range or an outdoor appliance to heat a room, which is a direct carbon monoxide hazard.
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm?
If any gas appliance runs in the home, yes. Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless, and a working alarm near sleeping areas is the only reliable warning. If one sounds, leave the building and call 911 from outside.
