What Sets H.J. Faust, Inc. Apart from Other Burlington Heating Contractors

Training is the foundation of quality HVAC work, and ours goes deeper than most. We prepare our mechanics through our structured Internal Apprenticeship & Development Program, a multi-year curriculum that combines classroom instruction with supervised, hands-on field experience under a Senior Mechanic. Beyond that structured pipeline, every field and office employee attends a minimum of four training sessions per year to stay current on new equipment and evolving technologies. The result is a team that can handle today’s systems and tomorrow’s.

Our commitment to this community extends beyond service calls. Each year, in partnership with Lennox, we participate in the Feel the Love program: we nominate a deserving Burlington-area household, a community member who gives to others and could use a helping hand, then donate and install a new system at no cost. It’s a named program, not a generic donation, and it’s one we take seriously.

When you call us for a repair, we start with a thorough inspection. We don’t recommend more than your system actually requires. We install Lennox systems and service all major brands, including Carrier, Daikin, Goodman, Honeywell, Trane, and Bryant, so our advice is based on what your system needs, not which brand we happen to carry.

Annual Maintenance Agreement

We recommend a spring check-up for your air conditioning system and a fall check-up for your heating system each year. Staying on that schedule can help prevent breakdowns, keep efficiency high, and extend equipment life. Our Annual Maintenance Agreement makes it easy: it covers both a furnace check-up and an air conditioner check-up, and members receive priority scheduling, no overtime charges for after-hours calls, a 30-point inspection, and a 10% discount on all parts and labor whenever repairs are needed.

Heating Systems We Install & Service

Every home has different heating needs. We install and service a full range of heating equipment, and each system type has its strengths depending on your home’s layout, fuel source, and comfort goals.

• Furnaces (Gas, Electric, and Oil): The most common residential heating choice in Wisconsin, furnaces deliver reliable, consistent warmth across a wide range of home sizes and are available in high-efficiency configurations that can reduce fuel costs.
• Heat Pumps: Rather than generating heat, heat pumps transfer it, making them an energy-efficient option that handles both heating and cooling from a single system. Modern cold-climate models perform well into sub-freezing temperatures. We also handle heat pump repair.
• Boiler Systems: Boilers distribute heat through hot water or steam, producing the even, radiant warmth that homeowners with older homes often prefer. They’re known for long equipment lifespans and consistent comfort.
• Ductless Mini-Split Systems: Mini-splits deliver zone-specific heating without requiring ductwork, making them a practical solution for home additions, finished basements, older homes, or any room that needs independent temperature control.

Signs Your Heating System Needs Professional Attention

Wisconsin winters don’t leave much room for a struggling furnace. If your system is showing any of the following signs, it’s time to call for service:

• Uneven temperatures room to room: airflow problems, ductwork issues, or a system that can no longer keep up
• Unusual noises: banging, clanking, grinding, or screeching often point to a loose, worn, or misaligned component
• Persistent odors: a burning, electrical, or musty smell beyond the first-run dust burn-off of the season warrants a professional look
• Short cycling or continuous running: frequent on/off cycles or a system that runs without reaching your set temperature both signal a malfunction causing extra wear and higher bills
• Sudden energy cost spikes: beyond normal seasonal variation, a sharp rise in utility costs often means the system is working harder than it should
• Cold or lukewarm air from vents: may indicate a burner, heat exchanger, thermostat, or other component failure
• Yellow or flickering burner flame: a gas furnace should show a predominantly blue flame; a largely yellow or flickering flame can indicate incomplete combustion or a ventilation problem. Shut the system off and call us immediately if you see this.
• System won’t turn on at all: in a Wisconsin winter, a non-functioning heating system is an emergency. Pipe freezing is a real risk; don’t wait.
• More than a year since your last tune-up: preventive maintenance can catch small problems before they turn into costly failures.

Our technicians are available around the clock for heating emergencies in Burlington, WI, and throughout our service area. Call (262) 418-0700 any time.

Frequently Asked Questions on Heating

Do You Offer Emergency Heating Service on Nights and Weekends?

Yes. Our technicians are available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. When your heat goes out in the middle of a Wisconsin winter, you don’t have to wait until Monday morning. Call (262) 418-0700 and we can get someone to you.

How Do I Know if a Heating Company Is Trustworthy?

Look for verifiable credentials. H.J. Faust, Inc. is BBB accredited, employs NATE-certified technicians, and has earned an Excellent rating from hundreds of Google reviews. Those are public records you can check before you ever call us.

My Heating System Stopped Working. What Should I Do First?

Check your thermostat settings and confirm the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. If both look fine and the system still won’t run, call H.J. Faust, Inc. right away. We can assess the situation promptly and give you a straight answer on what it needs.

Can You Install a Smart Thermostat?

Yes. Our technicians install and program smart thermostats to work with your existing heating and cooling equipment, giving you better control over comfort and energy use.

Do You Handle Boiler Replacement?

We do. In addition to boiler maintenance and repair, we handle full boiler replacements and can help you evaluate whether your current system is worth repairing or ready to be replaced.

How Do I Know When It’s Time to Replace My Heating System?

A system that’s 15 to 20 years old and requires frequent repairs or delivers uneven heating is a strong candidate for replacement. Our technicians perform a thorough evaluation before recommending anything, so you’ll have the full picture before making a decision.

What Could Be Causing Strange Noises from My Air Handler?

Banging, clanking, or whistling from an air handler can result from loose parts, ductwork movement, or a failing motor. These sounds are worth investigating before they become a more expensive repair. Call us and we can take a look.
