How Do I Know if I Need Heating Repairs?

The most common signs you may need professional heating repairs include:

  • High Energy Bills –High energy or gas bills may indicate a heater malfunction as your heater overcompensates trying to reach a comfortable temperature.
  • Strange Noises –Older heating systems often start making loud sounds like banging, rattling, and humming. There may be issues with your heating system’s motor bearings, fan, or other parts.
  • Short Heating Cycles – If your heater goes on and off, the thermostat may not be able to regulate the temperature adequately. Short cycles are often an indicator that the heat exchanger is overheating, causing the system to shut down.
  • Yellow Pilot Light –A furnace should always have a blue pilot light flame. If it is any other color, it could indicate your furnace has too much tar or rust in it.
  • Old Age –A heating system’s life expectancy is between 15 to 25 years. Older heating systems break down over time, causing many heating issues.

What to Do When Your Heater Stops Working Suddenly

We will be there for you in the unfortunate event of a heating emergency, but they are a few things you can try if your heater stops working suddenly. Troubleshooting your heating issues includes:

  • Check your thermostat and thermostat batteries to ensure it is properly working.

FAQs

When should I replace my furnace?

Several signs indicate it may be time to replace your furnace. Firstly, if your furnace is over 15 years old, it may be time to start considering a replacement, as older furnaces become less efficient and require more frequent repairs. Other signs include strange noises, frequent breakdowns, and a spike in your energy bills. If you notice any of these issues with your furnace, it may be time to have it replaced by a professional HVAC technician. It’s also a good idea to consider replacing your furnace if it requires expensive repairs that cost more than half the price of a new system.

 

Why is my heater making strange noises?

Strange noises from your heater can indicate various issues, such as a loose or damaged component, clogged air filter, or airflow problems. It is recommended to have a professional HVAC technician diagnose the problem and perform any necessary repairs.

 

How can I save money on my heating bill?

There are several ways to save money on your heating bill. First, ensure your home is properly insulated and sealed to prevent heat from escaping. You can also lower your thermostat a few degrees, significantly reducing energy usage. Installing a programmable thermostat can also help you save money by automatically adjusting the temperature when you’re away from home or sleeping. Regular heating system maintenance, including cleaning and replacing air filters, can also improve efficiency and reduce energy usage. Finally, consider upgrading to a more efficient furnace or heat pump, which can provide long-term energy savings.

 

What type of furnace is best for my home?

The best type of furnace for your home depends on factors such as the size of your home, your heating needs, and your budget. A professional HVAC technician can assess your home and recommend the most suitable furnace type and size.

 

Do I really need a furnace cleaning every year?

Annual furnace cleaning and maintenance are recommended to ensure your furnace runs efficiently and safely. Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to reduced performance, higher energy bills, and even safety hazards like carbon monoxide leaks.
