Heating Services in Newport News & Hampton Roads, VA

Heating problems can affect your comfort, indoor air quality and monthly energy costs. Gault Electric provides comprehensive heating services designed to keep residential systems operating properly throughout the colder months.

​

Heating System Repair

A heating system may continue running even when worn or damaged components are preventing it from operating correctly. Addressing the problem early can help prevent further damage and reduce the likelihood of a complete system failure.

Contact Gault Electric if you notice:

​

• Cold or weak air coming from the vents

• Uneven temperatures throughout the house

• A furnace or heat pump that will not turn on

• Frequent cycling

• Unusual noises or odors

• A thermostat that does not control the system properly

• Unexpected increases in heating costs

• A system that runs continuously

• Rooms that never reach the desired temperature

• A heat pump that remains in auxiliary heat

​

Our technicians can inspect the equipment, identify the source of the problem and explain the available heating repair options.

Furnace Repair

Gas and electric furnaces contain electrical, mechanical and temperature-control components that must work together correctly. A problem with the blower motor, thermostat, ignition system, heating element or electrical connection may prevent the furnace from producing or distributing sufficient heat.

​

Gault Electric provides furnace repair throughout Newport News and Hampton Roads. Because the company has experience in both electrical and HVAC systems, our team can evaluate the complete system when diagnosing a furnace problem.

 

Furnace Installation and Replacement

An aging furnace may require increasingly frequent repairs while providing less reliable heat. If your current equipment is no longer meeting your home’s heating needs, Gault Electric can help you compare furnace replacement options.

​

Selecting the appropriate furnace involves more than choosing a brand or efficiency rating. The size and layout of the home, existing ductwork, fuel source and condition of the electrical system can all influence the installation.

​

Professional furnace installation helps the new equipment provide consistent heating without unnecessary cycling or energy consumption. Gault Electric can remove the old unit, install the replacement system and confirm that it operates correctly with the home’s thermostat and ductwork.

Heating Maintenance and Seasonal Tune-Ups

Preventative heating maintenance helps prepare furnaces, heat pumps and other systems for periods of regular winter use. A heating tune-up provides an opportunity to identify worn components, airflow restrictions and performance problems before they cause a breakdown.

​

Routine heating maintenance may help:

• Reduce the chance of unexpected equipment failure

• Improve heating performance

• Support efficient system operation

• Maintain consistent temperatures

• Identify components that require attention

• Extend the useful life of the equipment

• Improve airflow through the home

​

Scheduling maintenance before winter allows time to address problems before the heating system is needed every day.

 

Heat Pump Repair and Installation

Heat pumps provide heating and air conditioning through one system. During colder weather, a heat pump transfers heat into the home instead of generating heat in the same manner as a traditional furnace.

​

Because heat pumps operate during both heating and cooling seasons, they may accumulate more annual operating hours than other types of HVAC equipment. Regular maintenance can help keep the system ready for year-round use.

Gault Electric provides heat pump repair, installation and maintenance throughout Newport News and Hampton Roads. Contact our team if your heat pump produces cold air in heating mode, freezes frequently, runs continuously or struggles to maintain the thermostat setting.

​

Gas and Electric Heating Systems

Different homes rely on different sources of heat. Gault Electric works on gas furnaces, electric heating systems, gas packs and packaged HVAC units.

 

Gas Furnaces and Gas Packs

Gas furnaces and gas packs use natural gas or propane to produce heat. These systems contain ignition, ventilation, electrical and safety components that require professional service.

Problems with ignition, airflow or system controls can prevent the equipment from heating properly. If your gas heating system will not start or repeatedly shuts down, schedule an inspection before continuing to operate it.

 

Electric Heating Systems

Electric furnaces and other electric heating systems depend on heating elements, electrical connections, controls and blower components. Gault Electric’s background in electrical and HVAC service allows our team to evaluate both sides of the system.

If an electric heater trips breakers, produces insufficient heat or increases electricity consumption unexpectedly, contact Gault Electric for professional heating system repair.
