Signs You Need Heating Repairs

Sometimes, it’s pretty obvious when your heating system needs a little love and care, but other times, the signs can be hard to read if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Our experts came up with the most common signs to watch for that signify you may need repairs. They include:
  • Your heater refuses to kick on: This may be obvious, but it bears mention simply because there are loads of possible issues here. An unresponsive unit could be due to thermostat issues, faulty wiring, busted components, and many other common problems.
  • Your heater makes odd sounds: You’re probably familiar with the minor sounds your system makes during operation. But if you notice a clunk, bang, wheeze, or whistle that seems out of place, it’s a good idea to reach out to a professional immediately. These are common signs that components have broken loose and may further damage your heater if left unhandled.
  • Your energy costs are higher: A little variation is natural, but when your utility costs spike a good 10% to 20% for no obvious reason, you likely have an issue that needs addressing.
  • Your thermostat is unresponsive: Often a wiring or electrical component issue, if your thermostat doesn’t seem to register adjustments you make, or the displayed temperature doesn’t seem to reflect the temperature of your home accurately, it’s time for repairs.
  • Your unit frequently “kicks” on and off: If your heater is operating erratically or too much, there is a good chance something has gone wrong. In some cases, this issue could necessitate a replacement.
  • Your air quality is becoming an issue: If your allergies are acting up a bit more than usual, or you note a heightened presence of dust in the household, the ductwork of your heater may be at fault.

Heating Repair vs. Replacement

When your heating unit has broken down, you’re left with two options. You could either opt for heating repair or consider replacement should any of the following apply. 1. Your heating unit is old – Exactly how long heating units last depends on the unit, use, environment, and maintenance levels. Gas furnaces, for example, can survive for 20 years, so if it’s much older than that, you should think again before sinking more money into heating repair. 2. Repair after repair – Our Arlington heating repair technicians will always be happy to come in and service your unit. But if you’re getting to know them by name or they’re over often, then you should consider opting for replacement. At some point, another repair visit will be more expensive when you consider it’s a dying unit that needs to be replaced soon anyhow. 3. The cost of heating repair is almost half the cost of replacement – If you multiply the cost of a repair by the age of the unit, it should be less than the total cost of replacement. If not, then the repair is too much for a unit that’s too old and replacement is the more financially prudent maneuver.
