Do you know if it will last until you don\u2019t need it anymore for the season? The best way to ensure its efficient and effective operation is through heating maintenance. If you didn\u2019t schedule this last fall, now is the time! Unless your heater is broken down beyond repair, it\u2019s never too late to get this service done.<\/p>\n<p>But even with maintenance, it\u2019s possible that you could have heater repair needs. How can you tell? By watching for the following signs of disrepair.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Strange Sounds<\/h2>\n<p>If you are using a forced-air heater like a furnace or a heat pump, you\u2019re going to hear <em>some <\/em>noise coming from it. This can include a slight rattling of the ductwork as the air flows through it, and the rush of air coming through your vents. There are other noises you\u2019ll probably get used to as well.<\/p>\n<p>What you should pay attention to, however, are sounds that you\u2019ve <em>never <\/em>heard coming from your heater, coming through now. This can be anything from clanging and banging, to hissing or clicking. These are signs of problems that range in severity, but the best thing you can to do mitigate the damage is give our team a call.<\/p>\n<h2>Unusual Smells<\/h2>\n<p>At the beginning of the heating season, it\u2019s relatively normal to detect a faint burning odor. This is typically indicative of dust burning off the jets and coils of your furnace, and the smell will come through the vents. But the thing is, it\u2019s the end of the heating season now. If you smell acrid or burning odors this time of year coming from your heater, it\u2019s time to call for repairs right away.<\/p>\n<h2>The System Isn\u2019t Warming You Enough<\/h2>\n<p>Your heating system has one job\u2014to heat your home effectively. If it\u2019s not doing though, it\u2019s time to call for repairs. In a furnace, this can signal not only a frustrating problem, but a potentially harmful one as well\u2014trapped heat can cause a number of problems from a burnt out motor to damage to important components like the heat exchanger.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s something serious or more minor like damaged ductwork, you\u2019ll want to take care of the issue ASAP so you can still use your furnace, and so you don\u2019t have to worry about your AC operation when spring rolls around.<\/p>\n<h2>Higher Than Average Energy Bills<\/h2>\n<p>It makes sense that your energy bills will fluctuate according to how much and how often you use your HVAC systems. But if you\u2019re paying more for your energy bills than you were this same time last year, or more than your neighbors are paying, it\u2019s a sign that something is causing your heating system to work inefficiently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Contact <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message#breadcrumbs-container\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Covenant Heating and Cooling<\/a> for reliable <a href=\"\/service-areas\/brentwood-tn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">heating repair in Brentwood, TN<\/a>.
