Your heating system has already put in plenty of work so far this winter, and we hope that it will continue to serve you until the warm spring weather finally settles in. But if your heater starts to experience problems, you\u2019ll want to know as soon as possible so you can call our professional technicians to come to repair it. The sooner you move on fixing a heating system problem, the easier it will be to repair and the fewer additional problems it\u2019s likely to cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heating malfunctions can sometimes be sneaky. You may not immediately notice the trouble. We\u2019ve put together a list of the five most common warning signs from a heater that will tell you it\u2019s time to call \u201cYour Home Comfort Hero,\u201d ThermAll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Odd sounds from the heater<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What counts as an \u201codd sound\u201d? Anything that isn\u2019t the normal operating sound you expect to hear during winter days and nights when the heater is running. Heating systems can\u2019t work in complete silence, but modern models have reduced the amount of sound they make to the point most people won\u2019t notice them. So when you do<\/em> start to notice noise from the heater (such as clanging, grinding, shrieking, hissing, rattling, etc.), it\u2019s telling you something\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. You have to continually adjust the thermostat for comfort<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A heating system should stay at a steady temperature during the day when people are home, and at a different (cooler) temperature at night or when the house is empty. If you\u2019ve found that you have to keep adjusting the thermostat because you\u2019re either too hot or too cold, it means something is wrong with either the thermostat or the heating system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Cold spots appearing around the house<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An early indication of a heating system that\u2019s losing its heating capacity is when certain rooms start feeling cooler than normal. These are often rooms most distant from the center of the house that aren\u2019t getting enough heat through the ventilation system. Uneven heating is always a cause for concern that we recommend you have looked at right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. An unexpected rise in heating costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Always pay attention to your utility bills every month. A sudden spike in energy costs can point toward a malfunctioning heating system. Most repair problems in a heater will cause the system to have to run longer or strain harder to work, and this will show up as higher costs for heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Odd scents from the vents<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Musty, dusty, acrid, or sulfurous smells coming from the vents in your house when the heater is running are all major warnings of problems. You can expect some dusty odors when a gas furnace first comes on for the season, but not later. Some of these odors can represent serious problems, so don\u2019t hesitate to shut the heater off and call for help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
