When it comes to using your heater, there isn’t going to be anybody besides you and your family who will know the everyday noises it makes. So, if you hear something new and unusual, you’re probably right to be alarmed! Now, there are some heating system noises that aren’t too much of a concern, but others that can indicate some pretty big trouble brewing inside the system.
From subtle rattling to screeching or clicking, below we’ve covered what these suspicious heater noises can mean for your heating system and why you should invest in repairs asap.
It’s that time of year again… when we start using our residential furnaces pretty regularly. These are reliable heating systems and serve as a great defense against the chilly temperatures we get in the winter. Of course, when you use your heater, you want a certain peace of mind. You want to know that your furnace is going to work reliably, efficiently, powerfully, and most importantly, safely. Read on as we talk about furnace safety and whether or not you should be scheduling furnace services right now.
It may still be wintertime, but you know as well as we do that warmer temperatures are right around the corner. Why you won’t be shutting down your furnace tomorrow, now is a good time to start making plans for the change of seasons.
Did you know the best way to prevent up to 85% of the repairs a furnace may ever need in its lifespan is by scheduling annual maintenance for the system? This service allows our technicians to thoroughly inspect, clean, and adjust the components that need it.
If you’re like most homeowners throughout the U.S., you love to hear of new ways to improve energy efficiency and subsequently save money. Of course, this means using less energy and wasting less of what you use, too. One of the many fantastic ways to achieve this is by utilizing high efficiency HVAC systems. A heat pump is one of them!
When it comes to keeping homes warm, nothing beats a gas furnace. Well—that’s not necessarily true. If your gas-powered furnace is old or ill-maintained, then there’s a lot of newer, more efficient systems that would be better. But the point is that gas furnaces are powerful, effective, and efficient.
It would be easy to ignore some of the noises coming out of your furnace, right? But that doesn’t always mean we should ignore them. The thing is, it’s too easy to ignore them and deny that something could be wrong with our heaters because fixing it is an expensive hassle.
When homeowners hear “you should change your HVAC air filter every 1-3 months,” they often tend to take this as a helpful suggestion toward better indoor air quality rather than a requirement to keep that HVAC system running as well as it should.
During a cold winter day, this is a very annoying problem to have. If your furnace or heating system all of the sudden starts blowing cold air through the vents, it’s a cause for concern and something you’ll want to address right away.
