Common Heating Problems in San Diego, CA

Even in sunny San Diego, chilly nights in the winter months can leave you reaching for the thermostat — and if your heating system isn’t working, things get uncomfortable fast. Whether you live in North Park, La Mesa, Clairemont, or El Cajon, heater issues can happen when you least expect them.

At Carini Home Services, our licensed HVAC technicians specialize in diagnosing and fixing all types of heating problems, including:

  • Furnace won’t turn on – Often caused by a faulty ignitor, thermostat issue, or a tripped breaker

  • Uneven heating or cold spots – Leaky ductwork, clogged filters, or aging units are usually the cause

  • Unusual noises – Rattling, squealing, or banging sounds can point to blower motor or heat exchanger problems

  • Frequent cycling – If your furnace turns on and off too often, it could be an airflow issue or a malfunctioning thermostat

  • Burning smells or musty odors – These could signal dust buildup, electrical issues, or mold in the ductwork

Whether you have a central furnace, heat pump, or ductless mini split system, we provide expert heater repair, maintenance, and installation throughout San Diego County — including Poway, San Marcos, Chula Vista, and Mission Hills.

Signs You Need a Heating Contractor

Not sure if your heating system is due for service? Watch for these telltale signs:

  • Cold air blowing from vents – This could mean your furnace isn’t igniting or the heat pump is stuck in cooling mode

  • Increased energy bills – A drop in efficiency usually points to a problem with your system or thermostat

  • Short cycling – Your unit turns on, runs briefly, then shuts off repeatedly

  • Yellow pilot light – Gas furnaces should have a steady blue flame — a yellow flame may signal a carbon monoxide risk

  • Poor airflow or weak heat – You might have a blower fan issue, blocked duct, or failing motor

If you live in older neighborhoods like Kensington, South Park, or Point Loma, aging ductwork and outdated systems are especially common and often the root of inconsistent heating. Whether you’re in a mid-century home in Serra Mesa or a modern build in Scripps Ranch, our heating experts can tailor solutions to your home’s unique needs.
