Heater fan works only when heating is off. When heating is on the fan does not work. Changed thermostat but that didn't fix the problem.

Residential HVAC systems are of many types. Furnaces have been popular with generations of American home owners. Condensing furnaces are highly regarded for their energy efficiency. Furnaces can be powered by gas, propane or electricity. Make sure that your furnaces are serviced regularly to ensure safety and efficiency. Filter must be cleaned at least every few months, and the blower must be kept clean. Oil furnaces must be serviced at least annually, while gas furnaces can be serviced every once in 5 years. Boilers can be powered either by gas or propane, and work by heating water which is circulated through convectors or radiators throughout the home. Modern boilers cut down on the number of toxic emissions released into the environment.
Residential heat pumps are some of the most efficient residential electric heating systems. Their efficiency however depends greatly on the design of the system, proper installation and regular maintenance. A common cause of heat pump inefficiency is duct leakage. Make sure that duct leaks are sealed as quickly as possible. Also, make sure that the refrigerant is charged correctly. Get your residential heat pump system checked regularly, and ask your technician to look for leakage, refrigerant charge, air flow etc. Radiant heaters ensure a more comfortable and well heated environment. In this technology heat moves through the environment, and warms all surfaces that it comes in contact with. Radiant floor systems warm the floor, and encourage heat to be distributed throughout the house. These residential heating systems are a little more expensive, and require specialized installation, but they do offer a more effective and comfortable heating experience.
Radiant floor heating systems make use of pipes under the floor to deliver heat. This heat then radiates throughout the home. This is a more expensive technology, and requires careful installation. However, they offer a comfortable and well heated environment that is unmatched by other systems. We can connect you with reputed licensed heating repair contractors in Los Angeles.
