Electric Heater and Furnace Repair
Repairing Baseboard Heaters or Electric Furnaces
Common Electrical Problems in Heating Systems
Electric heating systems operate under heavy electrical demand, making them sensitive to wiring faults and control failures. Some of the most common issues include the following:
- Units that fail to turn on or heat evenly
- Breakers tripping during operation
- Malfunctioning thermostats or control relays
- Burned or loose wiring connections
- Overheating caused by restricted airflow or circuit overloads
If these problems occur, timely professional repair prevents further damage and helps maintain safety during operation.
Our Repair and Diagnostic Process
MAD Energy NW carefully inspects each heater’s electrical components and control systems to identify the root cause of failure. We use professional testing equipment to verify power flow and ensure all repairs meet Washington State safety standards.
Our process includes the following:
- Checking for proper voltage at the breaker and disconnect
- Inspecting wiring and terminal connections for heat damage
- Testing thermostat calibration and control response
- Replacing faulty relays, elements, or fuses
- Confirming safe system operation after service completion
All repairs are performed using high-quality materials suited for sustained heating applications.
Preventive Maintenance for Heating Systems
Routine electrical maintenance improves system performance and extends equipment lifespan. Cleaning heating elements, tightening wiring connections, and testing thermostats regularly help prevent shutdowns or electrical faults during colder months.
MAD Energy NW can also upgrade circuits or thermostats for better efficiency and compatibility with modern electric heating systems.
