Signs Your Heating System Needs Repairs
If you notice your heating system acting strangely, addressing the problem immediately is a smart idea for several reasons. Waiting to call for a repair, even for a minor issue, often allows small problems to grow into much larger, more expensive breakdowns. A malfunctioning heater also works harder than it should, which wastes energy, raises your utility bills, and puts unnecessary strain on system components. Prompt repairs not only restore your comfort faster but also help keep your system running safely and efficiently.
Don’t wait to schedule an inspection if you spot any of the following heating problems:
- Sudden spike in energy bills. If your utility costs jump significantly without changing your usage habits, your heating system is likely losing efficiency. In some cases, repairing a clogged filter or a ductwork leak can resolve the problem and restore efficiency. If your heating equipment is nearing the end of its service life, it may make more sense to invest in a replacement.
- Strange noises. Hearing grinding, squealing, rattling, or banging sounds that you've never heard before likely means something is wrong internally. These noises often indicate loose parts, a worn-out belt, or a failing motor that needs our attention before it causes a complete breakdown.
- Weak or non-existent airflow. If you feel only a faint breeze or no air at all coming from your vents, your system is struggling with restricted airflow. A dirty air filter or a problem with the blower fan is often to blame.
- Cold spots or uneven heating. When some rooms feel too warm while others remain cold, your system is failing to distribute the heat evenly throughout your home. This issue could point to problems with your ductwork or a malfunctioning component in the unit itself.
- Short cycling. If your heater turns on for a short time, quickly shuts off, and then turns back on repeatedly, it is "short cycling." This constant starting and stopping puts major stress on your system and could be caused by a clogged filter, an overheating component, or a thermostat issue.
- Unusual odors. While a slight burning dust smell when you first turn on the heat for the season is normal, persistent odors are not. A burning or smoky smell can mean an electrical issue or an overheated component. If you smell gas or a rotten-egg odor near your furnace, you are likely dealing with a gas leak. You should immediately shut down your system, evacuate your property, and call 9-1-1. Once emergency services have addressed the immediate risk, we can diagnose and fix the underlying problem.
- Weak, yellow, or orange pilot light. If your heating system uses a pilot light, it should display a strong, blue flame with a slight yellow tip. A weak, yellow, or orange flame indicates incomplete combustion, possibly due to a lack of proper oxygen or a dirty burner. This wastes fuel and can potentially create dangerous carbon monoxide, so you need to treat this problem as an emergency.
How Can I Help Prevent Heating Breakdowns?
One of the best ways to avoid heating problems is to schedule professional maintenance before winter starts. Our technicians at JP Brett & Sons Air Conditioning can get your furnace, heat pump, or ductless mini-split system ready for cooler temperatures. When conducting a heating tune-up, we can perform a comprehensive inspection and cleaning of your entire system, including checking all moving parts, testing safety controls, and verifying your unit's performance. This proactive maintenance helps you by catching minor issues, like loose wiring or a dirty burner, before they cause an unexpected breakdown, ultimately improving your system's energy efficiency, lowering your utility bills, and extending its overall lifespan.
Partner with our team at JP Brett & Sons Air Conditioning with a preventive maintenance agreement for your heating and cooling equipment. Our maintenance plans include a heating and air conditioning tune-up, preferential pricing, and discounts on parts and services. We can also pre-schedule your annual maintenance so that you don’t have to worry about it.
