Common Problems with Heaters
Thermostat malfunction : Your thermostat regulates the amount of heat that is produced. Faulty thermostats can result in irregular heat or no heat at all. A professional technician can inspect your thermostat's heat anticipator, which adjusts your furnace cycle.
Lack of maintenance : Heating systems require regular maintenance. Lack of maintenance can increase your energy costs and cause your heater to break down at any time. Be sure to have your heating system inspected if you are having any problems.
Dirty or clogged filters : If your filters are dirty or clogged, the heater needs to work harder in order to maintain the desired temperature. This results in comfort issues and higher costs. Call us to have our technicians make sure your filters are properly scrubbed free of dirt or dust.
Ignition problems : You may be getting irregular or no heat if your heating system's ignition control malfunctions. Our technician can fix this by ensuring that the pilot light stays lit.
Airflow problems : Malfunctioning fan motors, belts, and bearings can impede airflow. This results in poor heating control and overheating. Give us a call and we’ll replace the malfunctioning areas if your airflow is unsteady.
Signs It's Time to Replace Your Heater
All heat pumps should be replaced after 10 years of use, and furnaces or boilers after 15 years.
However, they may need to be replaced immediately if you notice any of these signs:
Noise : If your furnace is making popping or banging noises, this is a typical sign that it needs to be replaced.
Dusty house : A dry and dusty house is another sign that your heater is past its prime. Dryness is harmful for many elements in your home, such as walls and plants.
Frequent repairs : Regularly spending money on heating repairs is inconvenient. Consider the money you would save by installing a new, more cost-efficient heater.
Uneven temperature : A home heating system should heat the whole home, not just a few rooms. If your kitchen is cooler than your living room, it may be time to replace your current system.
Excessive humidity : If the air in your home is too dry in the winter or too humid in the summer, your heating system is likely to blame and requires a replacement.
Increased heating bills : If your heater malfunctions, it will probably use more energy to try to correct itself, increasing your heating bills. Save yourself the extra monthly costs and consider installing a new heater if yours is not functioning properly.
