Signs Your Heater Needs Repairs
Having your heater go out in the middle of winter can be uncomfortable and a major inconvenience. To avoid having to endure a frigid home, watch for these signs that can signal your unit needs to be repaired by a contractor:
- Home isn’t heating to the desired temperature.
- Heat isn’t being evenly distributed throughout the house.
- System makes loud and unpleasant sounds.
- Monthly utility bills are increasing without a change in usage.
- The thermostat isn’t properly controlling the climate in your home.
- You suspect your ductwork is leaking, which can cause your system to work harder to warm your home.
What to Expect During a Routine Heater Maintenance Visit
To keep your heater working as expected during the winter, it’s important to have it properly maintained all year. As part of the upkeep, it’s recommended you have a professional inspect the unit and give it a tune-up at least once a year. During these routine visits you can expect heating contractors to perform the following tasks:
- Shut off the power to the unit to protect him or herself, as well as your entire household.
- Inspect the inner components of the unit to ensure everything is working as expected.
- With your permission, replace any worn out parts or belts before they completely malfunction.
