When to Call a Heating Contractor
Nobody likes the thought of needing a professional for heater repairs, but sometimes, it’s the only option. It’s wise to contact a pro as soon as you suspect something is wrong because letting a problem fester can compromise your system and cause it to fail prematurely. Here are the most common heating issues when calling for help as soon as possible is warranted.
- Strange Noises Most homeowners don’t pay much attention to their heating system, especially if it’s keeping them warm. However, the last thing you want to happen is to find out your heater has a problem when it fails. One way to tell how healthy your heater is is to listen for strange noises like squealing, grinding, or rattling. These noises indicate a developing problem that could cause the system to fail if you don’t deal with them.
- Yellow Flame If you have a gas furnace, pay attention to the color of the burner flame. The furnace flame should be bright blue, which means it’s healthy. Call a heating repair company immediately if it’s red, orange, yellow, or any other color for your family’s safety.
- Uneven Heating An issue common with older heaters is uneven heating throughout the house. If you notice one room is noticeably warmer than another, it could mean your system is losing efficiency; there is a problem with the motor or something else.
- Electrical Issues Finally, if your fuses blow or the breakers trip when your heater comes on, call a furnace repair service as soon as possible.
Keep your heater running efficiently and nip minor issues in the bud by calling Lambert Heating and Air Conditioning and enrolling in our heater maintenance.
4 Reasons Heating Maintenance Is Important
Your heating system is a complex machine; like all machines, it runs best when it’s well-maintained. However, many homeowners ignore routine tune-ups because they think it’s too expensive or because they forget to schedule it. Let’s look at why you can’t afford to ignore heating maintenance.
- Maintains Efficiency Depending on your usage habits, your furnace’s components can wear down, some more quickly than others. The system can lose efficiency when parts wear out, which compromises your comfort.
- Decrease the Risk of System Failure Most heaters don’t fail suddenly; they fail slowly over time as internal parts break down. Scheduling routine maintenance can’t guarantee you won’t have a catastrophic failure, but it significantly decreases the risk by replacing worn-out parts, cleaning, and ensuring everything is working correctly. Also, a professional will know when your system is getting too long in the tooth so you can plan on replacing it before the worst happens.
- Extends System Lifespan Buying a new furnace or heater is an expensive investment, so it’s wise to do all you can to get the most use out of it. Routine maintenance is the best way to keep your system in tune and operating for as long as possible.
- Maintains The Warranty Failing to schedule routine maintenance from a trained technician may void your warranty. Imagine paying out of pocket for a major repair that your warranty would have covered but doesn’t because you failed to keep up with annual maintenance.
If you can’t remember the last time you had a technician inspect your heater, call the pros at Lambert Heating and Air Conditioning today and get on track.
