Local considerations
Combustion air requirements in Pontiac are affected by home improvements that seal the building envelope. A furnace with adequate combustion air when installed may not have enough after weatherisation work is done around it.
Lake-effect cold and long heating seasons push furnaces to high annual run hours. In Pontiac that makes the heating season a test of whatever deferred maintenance the summer covered up. Equipment that held on through a mild spell often cannot manage a sustained cold stretch.

Call (855) 321-3194Questions
Pontiac HVAC questions
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.
Do you work on boilers in Pontiac?
Yes, where a provider covering your ZIP code handles them. Boiler faults run to pressure loss, circulator pumps, expansion tanks and zone valves, which is a different skill set from forced-air work. Say so when you call.
Why does my furnace smell when it first runs?
A brief dusty smell on the first run of the season is normal as dust burns off the heat exchanger. A persistent burning smell, or any electrical smell, is not. Shut it off and call.
What if I smell gas?
Leave the building first, then call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not operate light switches, thermostats or phones on your way out. Call us afterwards, once the utility has made the property safe.
Why are my upstairs radiators cold?
Usually trapped air or a circulation problem rather than a failed boiler. Bleeding radiators resolves some of it. If pressure keeps dropping after bleeding, there is a leak somewhere in the loop worth finding.
