In our area, the air conditioners get a lot more time on the job than the heaters do. However, it is critical to have heaters that work well during the winter, because overnight lows that are usually in the forties are very unpleasant without heat. Because of our weather, the calls we get about heating trouble can be a little different from those fielded by heating professionals in the snowy, northern part of the US. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s some information about the heating concerns we have to address most often in Florida and what they might look like if they happen to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Blower Motor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many homeowners have both an air conditioning unit and a heating unit. They each have separate components to do their own separate jobs. However, they do use the same method to deliver the air they have brought to your desired temperature. This means that the ductwork, vents, and blower motor are used all year round, even while your heater has a long summer rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ductwork can indeed develop problems, especially over many years. But the risk of a problem always increases with the complexity of a system and the number of parts\u2014especially moving parts\u2014it has. This means that the blower motor is at the highest risk of breakdown. If a blower motor is struggling, you might hear noises like a screech or a squeak or notice that there\u2019s not much air moving out of your vents. If it breaks down completely, there won\u2019t be any air coming from your vents.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User Error<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a simple fact that spending more time doing something makes it easier and less likely that you will make a mistake the next time you try to do it. While practice doesn\u2019t necessarily make perfect, it definitely helps. And in Florida, homeowners simply don\u2019t get a lot of practice using their heating systems. While we\u2019re always happy to help with any heating concerns, you\u2019ll probably be happier if you don\u2019t need to call us at all. So if you encounter a problem, here are some things to check before deciding you need repairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
