As temperatures slowly but surely begin on their cooling trend, it\u2019s time to start thinking about our heating systems. Did you schedule maintenance for yours yet? If not, don\u2019t worry! It\u2019s never too late\u2014in fact, this is usually the time of year we recommend this service anyway since milder temperatures mean you don\u2019t have to worry about an interruption in service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of maintenance though, if you don\u2019t know the signs that you have a heater in disrepair, you might be in for an ugly surprise this winter. If you do know the signs, and you give us a call right away to fix any repair needs you may have, you will save time and money. Also, the sooner you repair your system, the lower your monthly heating costs will be since a well-functioning heater performs more efficiently. Without further ado, here are some signs to watch out for that indicate your system is in need of repair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You Hear Strange Noises Coming from It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What makes it hard sometimes to detect problems with a\nheating system is that it can be easy to ignore\n<\/em>problems that aren\u2019t necessarily getting in the way of your comfort. A\nstrange sound from the cabinet of your furnace might not be too bothersome for\nyou at first, for example\u2014especially when you\u2019re not near the furnace cabinet\non a regular basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, though, this can be the sign of a major problem. A buzzing noise, for instance, could mean an electrical malfunction, while a screen may indicate a worn-out belt that could break at any moment. A pop or a bang could be the sign of something potentially dangerous like a cracked heat exchanger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We get it, this is sort of subjective. But what we want you\nto watch out for is if your bills are significantly higher than they were this\nsame time last year, especially if the weather or your heating use isn\u2019t much\ndifferent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also compare your heating bills to those of your\nneighbors. If you\u2019re paying significantly more than they are, there\u2019s a good\nchance that for some reason your heater is not performing as efficiently as it\nonce did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

If it seems like no matter how high you turn up your\nthermostat, it\u2019s still not warm enough, then there is a problem. Chances are,\nthe problem has nothing to do with the thermostat itself, but rather that your heating\nsystem is running nonstop to try to meet the preferred settings and for some\nreason can\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This causes components to wear down quickly, which means you\u2019ll\nlikely need to replace the system sooner rather than later\u2014call in a technician\nASAP if you notice this issue! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Notice Brief, Sporadic Cycling of the Compressor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is called short-cycling, and there are a number of\npotential faults that could be causing this. Unfortunately, short-cycling is\nnot only the sign of a problem already in your heating system, but it can cause\nfurther <\/em>problems by way of increased\nwear and tear. If you notice that your heating system is short-cycling, it\u2019s\ntime to give our team a call ASAP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
