As the winter season approaches, it becomes more important than ever to keep your home comfortable. One of the main ways to do this is through heating repair<\/a>. However, it can be hard to know when to call in a professional. Here are a few signs that indicate your heating system needs work:<\/span><\/p>\n

High Energy Bills<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you notice your energy bills increase during the cold weather, this could be a sign of a problem with your heater. An inefficient heater will not only cost you more money, it can also affect your energy efficiency. This is why it's so important to get your heater repaired as soon as possible to avoid costly repairs and increased utility bills this winter.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Change in Operating Noise<\/span><\/h4>\n

If your furnace makes a new sound that doesn't seem to fit with what it used to sound like, this can be an indication of a serious issue that should be dealt with immediately. This can be caused by any number of issues including a damaged blower belt, worn ball bearings, or even something as simple as a blocked exhaust.<\/span><\/p>\n

Short Cycling<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you've noticed your heater keeps turning on and off frequently, this can be a sign that it has a problem. This is a common cause of failure that should be fixed by an HVAC expert as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Foul Smells and Odors<\/span><\/h4>\n

If your house smells strange or stale, this can be a sign that your furnace is struggling. It might be a result of mold, mildew, or bacteria in your furnace that is causing air quality issues. This can be dangerous for your family, so it is best to contact a heating technician as soon as you see these symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thermostat Issues<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you find it difficult to set your thermostat, this can be a sign that there is an issue with your thermostat. It may need a battery replacement or other troubleshooting to fix the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Warm, but Uneven Temperature in Your Home<\/span><\/h4>\n

If some parts of your home are a little too hot or too cold, this can be a sign that you have an issue with your furnace. It might need an adjustment to ensure the temperature is evenly distributed throughout your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

A 'Clunking' Noise<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you hear an unusual noise when your heater turns on, this can be an indicator of an issue that should be dealt with as soon as possible. This can be due to worn ball bearings, a damaged blower belt, or even a more serious electrical problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Changing Smells<\/span><\/h4>\n

If your furnace smells oddly after it is turned on, this can be an indication that the unit has suffered some damage and should be checked out by a professional. It could be the result of an electrical problem, a damaged part, or even a leaky gas line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of the type of heating system you have, it is important to have it inspected regularly. This is especially important for gas furnaces that require regular checkups of the burners, gas line, and vents to prevent safety concerns and potential breakdowns. Having a heating expert inspect your system can also help you determine whether it is time for an upgrade or a complete system replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n
