Troubleshooting Common Heating System Problems
When it comes to malfunctioning heating systems, you may be able to pinpoint what the problem is yourself before contacting us for assistance. Here are some tips on troubleshooting the most common heating system problems:
- Cold air instead of hot air is flowing through the ductwork: The solution might be as simple as cleaning the ducts. Or, you might need to replace the heater’s filter (do this regularly, such as once each month, according to the manufacturer’s instructions).
- Heating bills are much higher than expected: Check your thermostat to see if you might have set it higher than it needs to be. If that’s not the case, the issue might be a failing motor or fan.
- Some parts of your home never get warm enough: Lack of consistent heating can be a sign of a clogged duct or filter. A component may be worn out and no longer working at peak efficiency.
- The furnace never seems to stop running: If you inadvertently set the thermostat to be “on” all the time instead of operating only when needed, automatically, your heating system will never turn off properly. Or, the thermostat itself could be broken. If the fan won’t turn off, you’ll need a technician to diagnose and possibly fix or replace it.
- You smell a burning odor: An unpleasant scent could stem from a seriously dirty air filter. Homeowners often experience a brief burning odor when they turn the system on for the first time each winter. This is normal, because the heater is burning off some dust that built up during non-use over the summer. However, a persistent burning odor indicates a problem with the equipment.
What Are The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Heating Service?
You may be wondering what the benefits are of hiring professionals to take care of your furnace, instead of trying to take care of the work yourself.
The benefits of hiring heating experts for furnace service include:
- Lower your monthly utility bills. because a technician will keep your system operating efficiently year-round.
- Save yourself time. A licensed, certified heating professional knows all the ins and outs of your system and has years of experience in determining what the problem is and how to fix it.
- Avoid the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. A heater that goes without inspections and regular maintenance is more prone to fail, which can cause this deadly gas to leak into your home.
- Reduce the chance of breakdowns, giving you a lower total cost of ownership. Regular maintenance and inspections of your heating system are crucial for avoiding expensive repairs. It’s better to catch a problem when it’s still small and relatively easy to sort.
