Is Your Heating System a Total Turkey?
November 08, 2024
The holiday season is here! As you search for the perfect gifts, decorate the house, cook the turkey, and string up twinkling lights, don’t forget to show your heating system some TLC, too. After all, as you gather indoors and share quality time with loved ones and friends, you’ll want to be sure your space is cozy and safe for all your guests.
So, let’s talk turkey. If you’ve been questioning your heating system lately, you might be concerned about its condition—especially if you’re expecting a house full of guests. Here are some tips to help you determine if your system is a turkey and if you need Total Comfort for a heater repair!
High Energy Bills
Uh-oh. Are your energy bills higher than usual for no reason? This could mean your system isn’t operating efficiently and may require a heater tune-up or heater repair. Call us!
Strange Smells
The first time you turn on your heater in the winter, it may smell briefly. This is normal and usually caused by accumulated dust over the months. However, if you notice lingering smells that won’t disappear, this could signify more significant trouble. We can solve the issue!
Problems When You Turn the System On
As our comfort systems age, keeping them running can become more challenging. If you have issues when you turn on your system, we recommend first changing the air filters. Dirty filters can put extra pressure on your system and lead to inefficiency. If the issue continues, solutions may include cleaning or replacing the coils, updating filters, and replacing a faulty thermostat or heat exchanger. Whatever the issue, when you call us for HVAC service, our pros can diagnose the issue and solve the problem!
Hot and Cold Spots in the House
Have you noticed that certain rooms of your home feel cool while others are cozy? First, check that the thermostat is set correctly. If the thermostat works fine, those hot and cold spots might be the result of blocked or leaky ducts, dirty air filters, faulty thermostats, etc. Call us for heater repair!
Weird Noises
Strange noises constantly coming from your heating system are never a good sign! Feel free to call us if it sounds like ghosts are inside your system and you hear screeching, banging, rattling, or other odd sounds.
Water Leaks or Puddles
If you see water leaking from your HVAC unit, something is wrong. In most cases, leaks are caused by clogged air filters, low refrigerant, a broken condensate pump, leaky drains, or a clogged drain line. But fear not! Our team can fix that leak and get you back in business.
