Do you know when your heater needs repair? You may not run yours for as long or as consistently as homeowners elsewhere along the east coast, but when you do <\/em>need your heater, you want an effective one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing the signs of a heater in disrepair means you can take care <\/em>of those repairs right away, helping the system last longer and reducing your monthly heating costs. So, what are these signs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Strange Sounds from the Cabinet or Vents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What sometimes makes it hard to detect heating system problems is that they are often easily ignored if they\u2019re not getting directly in the way of your comfort. A strange sound from the cabinet or vents of your furnace, for instance, might be something that doesn\u2019t necessarily bother you, particularly when you don\u2019t exactly hang out next to your furnace listening to it all day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, this can be the sign of a major problem. A buzzing noise,\nfor example, can indicate that something electrical has gone awry, while a\nscreeching sound can signal a worn-out belt that could break at any moment. A\npopping or banging can indicate something dangerous, potentially even damaging\nthe heat exchanger and allowing carbon monoxide gas to come into your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re Spending Too Much on Your Heating Bills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, this is subjective. You may think you pay too much\nto heat your home, even though it\u2019s the same as you\u2019ve always paid and around\nthe same as your neighbors are paying. But what we mean is when there is a huge\ncontrast in these costs\u2014you probably have an issue with your heater. Something\nis not allowing it to work as efficiently as it once did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Can\u2019t Seem to Get the Thermostat High Enough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does it seem like no matter how high you turn up the\nthermostat, it\u2019s still not warm enough? Then there is certainly a problem.\nChances are, this probably has nothing to do with the thermostat itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your heating system is running longer than it should, trying\nto meet your preferred settings, which causes parts to wear down quickly. This\nmeans you\u2019ll likely have to replace the system sooner than later. Be sure to\ncall our pros right away if you suspect this to be the case! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Notice Sporadic Cycling from Your Furnace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is known as \u201cshort-cycling,\u201d and it is a sign of\nheating repair that should never be ignored. When your furnace or heat pump\nshort cycles, it\u2019s not running long enough to complete a full heating cycle,\nand it\u2019s using most of its energy simply cycling on and shutting down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pilot Light Is Burning Yellow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait, it\u2019s not supposed to be yellow?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nope! This is a sign your furnace isn\u2019t operating safely.\nThe light at the burner should be blue. Otherwise, there could be substances\npresent on the burners that are interfering with operation and safety, like\nrust. If you notice flame discoloration, be sure to call in the pros as soon as\nyou can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
