In\nfact, in other parts of the country we are pretty sure folks would laugh at us\nif we told them what residents here consider \u201ccold,\u201d right? Especially the last\ncouple of weeks! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still though, you are probably like most Gulf Breeze residents and used your heater a <em>little <\/em>bit, right? Regardless of whether your furnace gets used for months or only gets a little \u201cairtime\u201d each heating season, the fact is that sooner or later it will need repairs. This is particularly true if you have an aging system\u2014one that is 10-15 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, with such minimal use, and because we\u2019re almost done with winter anyway around here, you might be tempted to put off late-season heating repair needs, right? We really encourage you <em>not <\/em>to do this, as it could leave you with a broken-down system next fall when you need it again. Or depending on the problem, it could impact your AC system too. But how do you know if you have late-season heating repair needs? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>Heed These Signs You Need Heating Repair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one thing for us to tell you to take care of your\nheating repair needs, but if you don\u2019t know you <em>have <\/em>these needs, that\u2019s not super helpful. Read on as we uncover\nsome of the most common indicators that you are, in fact, in need of heating\nrepairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Your\nsystem is making unfamiliar or loud noises you\u2019ve never heard, like banging,\nclicking, or groaning. <\/strong><\/li><li><strong>There\u2019s a\nlack of warm air or declined airflow coming through the vents. <\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Your\nenergy bills have spiked and are higher than average for this time of year. <\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Your\nfurnace\u2019s pilot light is burning yellow instead of blue. <\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Your\nheater won\u2019t turn on or stay on, or it is turning on and off rapidly which is\nknown as short-cycling. <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of potential reasons any of these issues\ncan occur. This is especially true if you skipped maintenance this past fall.\nYou may have an issue with the thermostat, for example, instead of with the\nactual HVAC system. Or you could have damaged ductwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is these are both relatively easy fixes for\nour technicians. The bad news is that these are both problems that will also\naffect your air conditioner. So, it\u2019s important that you have them managed\nright away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another problem that is an easy fix\u2014so easy <em>you <\/em>can fix it\u2014is a clogged air filter.\nThere\u2019s a common misconception that the standard HVAC air filter is in place to\nprotect indoor air quality. But it\u2019s actually there to protect the HVAC system\nitself from dust, dirt, and other debris that can get in and coat the\ncomponents, causing further issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your air filter should be changed out every 1-3 months\ndepending on the type of filter and the level of contaminants in your home.\nInstructions will be on the filter itself, and this is an easy job to complete\non your own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you do need a little extra help though, that\u2019s what we\nare here for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>For quality <a href=\"\/service-areas\/gulf-breeze-fl-hvac-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"heater repair in Gulf Breeze, FL (opens in a new tab)\">heater repair in Gulf Breeze, FL<\/a>, contact <a href=\"\/contact\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Kool Breeze of Northwest Florida, Inc.
