Are you worried about your heating system? The autumn came and went, and you just kept putting off that call to have it checked\u2014or maybe the whole thing slipped your mind completely. There\u2019s no need to worry. You can have your heater checked now and start 2022 off on the right foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, it never hurts to have a system check-up. But there are some sure signs that your system is in need right now. Here is our New Year\u2019s list of heating issues that need to be taken care of as quickly as possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Noise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All heating systems make some noise as part of their normal operation. But there are other noises\u2014clanging, banging, and scratching\u2014that are warning flags that the system may be in trouble. Any noise that seems out of place might be a sign that a system breakdown is right around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dust and Poor Air Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you find that you are sneezing and\/or coughing on a regular basis, that can be a sign that the heating system isn\u2019t working correctly. It may be releasing dust and other allergens into your home. Make sure that your system has a clean filter, but it also doesn\u2019t hurt to have someone come and look to make certain it is not a more destructive issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lack of Heat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Have you noticed that some or all your home doesn\u2019t seem to get warm no matter how long you run your system? Or worse cold air is blasting through the vents. Check the circuit breaker to make sure the system is receiving power. But if that\u2019s not it, get a professional can come and repair quickly so that you can get back to enjoying some winter warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShort cycles\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Short cycle is phrase used when the heating system will turn on, run briefly, then shut itself off again. This cycle can be repeated. It\u2019s like a car that refuses to turn over. Short cycling means that there is a problem with the heat exchange and is something that technician can solve for you. The flip side of short cycling is the occasion when your system refuses to turn off. This can be problematic for several different reasons and the best solution is a repair appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pilot light Color<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you use a gas-powered furnace, the pilot light should always burn blue. Go look. If that flame is any other color\u2014red, orange, yellow\u2014there is something in the system that shouldn\u2019t be there. It could be as simple as rust or worse\u2014harmful compounds that have made their way into your system. The best way to prevent problems down the line is to have the compounds removed by a professional. We\u2019re a team that can do this for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
