Can a broken heater cause carbon monoxide poisoning?

If you have a gas-powered furnace or boiler, then yes, it may break in a way that begins to leak carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, potentially deadly gas. If you have a gas-fired heater, make sure you always have functioning carbon monoxide detectors in your home. If your alarms alert you that there’s a leak, vacate the home immediately and call your fire department or 911 to identify where the leak is.

How do I know if my heater is broken?

The most obvious signs of a broken heater are: The home not reaching the temperature indicated on the thermostat. Odd smells. If you smell a sweet chemical odor from your heat pump, shut the system off and call for repairs immediately. The refrigerant can leak, even in winter, posing a health risk. Strange/loud noises from your HVAC. Short-cycling (the heat turning on and off in very short intervals). Constantly adjusting your thermostat to maintain the correct temperature. An unexpected hike in heating bills. A discolored pilot light (on gas furnaces or boilers). Poor indoor air quality. Ice buildup on the outdoor unit of your heat pump. Puddles of water near your boiler.

How long does it take for heater repair in Denver, CO?

The repair time depends entirely on what’s wrong with your heater. A simple part replacement might take 30 minutes. A more complicated repair could take a few hours. We do our best to have the necessary parts on hand, but if you have an unusual system, it may take us more time to get the components.

“The company is always responsive to needs. Quick scheduling and availability. They have a good automated system using text messages for appt confirmations, intro of techs, arrival of techs on the day of and eliciting service feedback. Cameron and Mateo were friendly and professional. Timely notification of their arrival. They are knowledgeable and answered all questions, outlining what to expect and time to complete. Confirmed contact info and provided pictures upon completion of duct cleaning. They were efficient and respectful of time and my home. Highly recommend them for any air/heating needs.”

“awesome experience top to bottom. Mike was great on the pricing side - informative, super transparent. The technicians we had - Cameron and Matteo, were incredible. Prompt, thorough, and really went above and beyond. Will 100% continue to use this company”

“Tyler did great work -- efficient, polite, professional, none of the obvious intentional obfuscation of the work that was required to make it seem more complex, or any other 'slick' tactics often seen with other companies. I spoke to multiple people with reception/dispatch and all of them were capable and kind. They were clearly busy, but still able to make time for me and find me a same-day opening to handle a last minute heating emergency during a cold snap. Next time something with the house goes awry, One Hour will definitely be my first call!”

“Cameron was able to diagnose a problem that was intermittent quickly and then complete repair. All of our interactions w One Hour have been great. Our furnace is on the roof - not everyone is willing to work on that. They have earned our loyalty over years of maintenance and service that is always timely and courteous. Highly recommend.”
