There Are Strange Noises Coming from the Cabinet or Vents<\/h2>\n

What makes it hard for most homeowners to detect heating system problems is that it can be easy to ignore problems that aren\u2019t directly impacting your comfort. So, something like a strange noise from the cabinet of a furnace might be something that\u2019s not particularly bothersome to you, especially when you don\u2019t hang out right by your furnace all day.<\/p>\n

However, any odd noise can be the sign of a problem. For instance, a buzzing sound can indicate something electrical going on, and a screech may indicate a worn out belt that could break at any moment. A popping or banging sound coming from a gas-powered heater can indicate a dangerous situation, so this should definitely not be neglected!<\/p>\n

You\u2019re Paying Too Much on Heating<\/h2>\n

We don\u2019t mean subjectively speaking\u2026 we mean you\u2019ve noticed that your heating bills are either much higher than they were last year or they\u2019re higher than what your neighbors are paying, despite comparable use. It\u2019s a sign that your heater simply isn\u2019t working as efficiently as it should be. This could be the sign of old age, but if you have a relatively newer heater, it\u2019s a sign you need a repair.<\/p>\n

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

Does it seem like no matter how high you turn up your thermostat, it\u2019s still not warm enough? This is definitely a problem. Chances are, the problem has nothing to do with the thermostat itself and you\u2019re looking at a functionality problem with your heater or even your ductwork. You\u2019ll never know until you have a trained professional come take a look.<\/p>\n

You Notice Your Heater Working in Brief, Sporadic Cycles<\/h2>\n

This is called short-cycling, <\/em>and can happen for a number of reasons. It should never be ignored though, as it wears down your heating system much faster than natural wear and tear would get to it. If you let it go on too long, you could find yourself facing heating replacement needs years before you thought you would have to.<\/p>\n

Your Pilot Light Is Yellow<\/h2>\n

Do you have a gas-powered furnace? A pilot light that isn\u2019t burning yellow is indicative of a furnace that\u2019s not operating as safely as it should. The light at the burner should be blue, otherwise there may be substances present on the burners that are interfering with operation and safety\u2014like rust. Be sure to shut off your heater right away if you notice this symptom, and give our team a call.<\/p>\n
