Complete Heating System Diagnostics
Find The Cause Before You Pay For Parts
Reliable heating starts with an accurate diagnosis. John Kilgore Heating and Air begins every heating installation/repair call with a structured evaluation of your system’s performance, controls, airflow, and safety components to identify what’s actually failing—not just what looks suspicious. This approach helps prevent repeat breakdowns, unnecessary part swaps, and short-term fixes that don’t address the root cause.
Diagnostics commonly include checking thermostat operation and settings, verifying power and control signals, inspecting filters and return airflow, measuring temperature rise, evaluating blower performance, and confirming safe ignition and flame characteristics on fuel-burning equipment. When a problem is confirmed, you’ll get a clear explanation of what failed, why it matters, and what options make sense next—repair or replacement—based on condition and cost effectiveness.
Honest Recommendations, Not Automatic Replacements
When your heat stops working, it’s easy to feel pressured into a full system replacement. John Kilgore Heating and Air is known for being honest and for suggesting a repair before simply saying to replace the unit. If the system is safe to operate and a targeted repair can restore dependable heat, you’ll be presented with that option first, along with a realistic outlook on expected performance and longevity.
Common repairs can include replacing failed ignitors, flame sensors, capacitors, contactors, motors, control boards, and thermostats, as well as correcting airflow problems caused by clogged filters or duct restrictions. Each repair is completed with verification steps—proper startup, stable cycling, safe operation, and consistent temperature delivery—so you know the issue is resolved and not just temporarily masked.
Right-Sized Equipment And Clean, Reliable Operation
If your current system is beyond practical repair, frequent breakdowns have become the norm, or efficiency and comfort are consistently poor, a new heating installation can be the best long-term decision. John Kilgore Heating and Air focuses on installations that improve comfort, reliability, and operating cost—not just swapping equipment quickly. The goal is a system that heats evenly, runs safely, and matches your home’s needs.
A quality installation starts with planning: evaluating the existing system, duct condition, airflow needs, and thermostat compatibility. Proper sizing and setup matter because oversized or undersized equipment can lead to short cycling, uneven temperatures, excess wear, and higher energy use. Attention to details like secure electrical connections, correct venting, clean condensate routing (where applicable), and calibrated controls helps ensure stable performance.
After installation, the system should be tested and verified for safe operation and strong heat delivery. This includes confirming correct airflow, proper temperature rise, consistent ignition and shutdown, and thermostat accuracy. You’ll also receive guidance on filter schedules, basic operation, and what symptoms to watch for so you can protect your investment and keep your heating system running at its best.

In Chattanooga, weather swings can expose weak components fast—especially in older systems or homes with airflow limitations.

Addressing these factors can improve comfort and help extend equipment life.
