Signs Your Heating System Needs Repairs

Sometimes it’s obvious that your heating system needs to be repaired. Other times it can be hard to tell. 

For those less obvious times, here are some common signs that your heating system needs to be repaired:

• Your energy bills have skyrocketed – An increase in your energy bills can indicate a malfunctioning heating system. If you notice an unexpected spike in the amount of money you are spending to heat your home, it’s important to take steps to identify the issue and bring it back under control. Your heating system may need maintenance or could have lost efficiency due to old age. The spike in your energy bills could also be due to something simple, like poor insulation caused by drafts or gaps. A quick assessment by our licensed Weymouth heating repair professionals can help uncover common sources of extra energy consumption, get your energy bills back in balance, and keep your heating system properly maintained for optimal performance.
• You hear strange noises coming from your furnace – If you start to hear any banging, popping, or screeching noises coming out of your furnace, it is important to contact a professional right away. Not only can these sounds be disruptive and unpleasant, but they can also indicate that the metal parts of your furnace are rubbing together and can cause serious damage if left unchecked. Our professional HVAC technicians can identify the source of the sound, and make sure that any needed repairs are done quickly and efficiently, so you have peace of mind that your furnace is in good working condition.
• Some rooms in your house are too hot while others are too cold – Temperature imbalances in your home are a sign of inadequate airflow, which can be caused by many things. Faulty ductwork — including kinks and cracks — could be the culprit, or perhaps ducts that are too small for the size of your home. Improperly functioning doors and windows can also lead to an imbalance in temperature, as well as deficiencies in insulation and lack of proper ventilation. It’s important to have our HVAC experts assess and identify the root cause of your airflow problems so you can ensure consistent temperatures throughout your entire house.
• There’s a yellow flame instead of a blue one in your furnace – A yellow flame in your furnace is a major indication of a malfunctioning heating system. It likely means that there are unsafe levels of carbon monoxide present, so it is crucial to evacuate both yourself and any other occupants immediately. Do not try and assess or fix the problem yourself – leave it to the professionals who have the necessary equipment and experience to ensure your safety. Once you have safely left the area, contact our trained and certified HVAC technicians right away to assess the situation and make necessary repairs to restore your system’s efficiency. Doing so quickly will help keep your family safe while also preventing potential long-term damages from occurring.
• The pilot light keeps going out – If you've been having to repeatedly relight your pilot light, it could mean that you have an issue with gas flow or air circulation in the area surrounding your furnace. Drafts or leaks in the gas line can prevent proper function and it's important to take a look at these issues and find potential solutions. Keep in mind that attempting to deal with issues related to gas lines can be hazardous and sometimes requires expertise, so seeking professional help is encouraged.
• Your home has started to develop an unpleasant smell – If you've started to notice an unpleasant smell emanating from your home when you turn on the heat, it's possible that your furnace needs maintenance. Many furnaces can slowly build up excess moisture and debris over time, which can cause a musty odor inside the house. To make sure your furnace is running optimally – and smells pleasant – it makes sense to arrange for either a repair or a replacement as soon as possible. This could help prevent further issues in the long run and save you money on energy bills, too.
