Signs Your Heating System Needs Repair
✓
Strange Noises
Banging, screeching, or rattling sounds often mean there is a mechanical issue or loose component inside your furnace.
✓
Unusual Smells
The smell of burning plastic or sulfur can indicate electrical problems or dangerous gas leaks that require immediate attention.
✓
Rising Energy Bills
If your bills are spiking without a change in usage, your system is likely working too hard to maintain your home's temperature.
✓
Weak Airflow
If you feel little to no air coming from your vents, your blower motor or ductwork could be failing or restricted.
✓
Frequent Cycling
When your system turns on and off too frequently, it's often a sign of a faulty thermostat or an overheating furnace.

DIY Troubleshooting Tips Before You Call
Before you book a technician, try these simple checks. We value your time and sometimes the fix is as easy as a flip of a switch.
01
Check Thermostat Settings
Ensure the thermostat is set to 'Heat' and the temperature is higher than the current room temperature. If it's battery-operated, try fresh batteries.
02
Inspect Air Filters
A dirty or clogged filter can restrict airflow and cause your system to shut down. If the filter looks gray and dusty, replace it immediately.
03
Clear Obstructed Vents
Walk through your home and ensure all supply and return vents are open and not blocked by furniture, curtains, or rugs.
04
Check Circuit Breakers
Locate your electrical panel and check if the breaker for your furnace or heat pump has tripped. Turn it completely off and then back to the 'on' position.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
The best way to handle a heating emergency is to prevent it before the first freeze. Consistent maintenance and seasonal tune-ups keep your system running efficiently, saving you money on monthly energy bills and extending the life of your equipment. L&M Heating & Cooling offers comprehensive check-ups that catch small issues before they become expensive mid-winter breakdowns.

Another company told me my 24-year-old furnace couldn't be repaired and recommended replacing the entire system. Morgan found the needed part within an hour, explained all my options with zero pressure, and ultimately installed a better HVAC system at a lower cost than the competing quote. Exceptional service from start to finish.

Morgan was exceptionally thorough, providing detailed notes and pictures to explain everything he was seeing. He sat down with us and actually taught us a lot about the basic workings needed to make an informed decision about next steps. He presented three great options to address some pretty big issues, and his pricing is way better than other companies that are more about money than people. We'll definitely be sticking with L&M!

Morgan is as nice and honest as they come. AC and furnace swap in 6 hours, very well done and well under competitor quotes. Give them a call!

I already had two HVAC companies in line to inspect our situation and was looking for a third. Morgan not only met my expectations but exceeded them. He was able to fit us in on VERY short notice and took so much time actually explaining everything to us as he went along in his inspection. His knowledge base alone is reason enough to consider L&M Heating and Cooling. Beyond that, you are getting an individual who obviously cares about the work he is doing and the people he is serving. L&M has been added to my preferred vendor list and shared with my team of Realtors serving all of Missouri & Kansas.

Mitchell M.
L&M Heating and Cooling provided me an honest assessment of the condition of my units. After consulting with Morgan, we decided the best solution was to replace the unit and within 24 hours from the call, he had a complete heating & cooling install finished and operating perfectly. Morgan even went out of his way to repair damages not in the initial estimation 'because they weren't up to his standard.' A true professional in every way! One of the best experiences I've had with a contractor.
