Signs You Need Heating System Repair
A complete heater breakdown is certainly a reason to call for help. Winter in Dayton, OH, can be extremely cold, so being without heat can be dangerous. However, other signs may indicate you have a heating emergency or need a technician to check it out ASAP. The most common symptoms you need a heating repair include:
- Little or No Heat: If the air temperature isn’t as warm as it should be, cold air is blowing from the vents, or temperatures fluctuate wildly, it’s time to call a heating repair company. Also, call if it takes longer to warm up inside.
- Weak Airflow: A heating system that blows less air may need a dirty filter replaced or dust/debris cleaned from internal components. Or, a worn motor or other component may need to be replaced.
- Short Cycling: When your furnace or heat pump turns on and off more frequently, it’s usually a sign of a problem or that it’s not properly sized for your home.
- Loud Noises: Call us if you hear banging, rattling, rumbling, squealing, buzzing, humming, grinding, or whistling sounds from your heater; it is in urgent need of repair.
- Foul Odors: Strange odors can mean something is burning inside the unit or it is contaminated with dirt. A rotten egg odor signals a gas leak, which is an extremely dangerous situation. Evacuate your home and call for help.
- The Thermostat Malfunctions: If your home won’t reach the right temperature no matter how many times you set the thermostat, or the heater won’t respond, the control unit or its wiring may need to be fixed.
- Higher Energy Bills: If an increase in electricity or fuel rates can’t account for a spike in your energy bill, your heating system may be compensating for an issue by using more energy to heat your home.
- The Furnace Is Leaking: A water leak from your heating system can mean the condensate drainage line is clogged or the condensation pump is broken.
- The Carbon Monoxide Alarm Goes Off: Carbon monoxide has no color or smell, yet can be deadly. If the alarm goes off, leave your home and call for help; your furnace is likely malfunctioning or damaged.
