Burning Odors<\/h2>\n

As you’ll come to realize, most problems with your heater could be the result of a few different problems. That is why getting a professional diagnosis for the problems that you encounter is so important. Take burning odors, for instance. This is a pretty clear cut case that something is amiss. Is it an issue with a dirty burner, though? Or are you looking at something potentially more serious, like an electrical problem causing wiring to overheat? Only a professional heating technician can tell you for sure.<\/p>\n

Short Cycling<\/h2>\n

Does your heater start up, run briefly, then shut back down, only to repeat the process over and over? If so, it is short cycling, and that is a big problem. If the system has always short cycled, then it may just be too big for your home. You may also be overheating the system by failing to change its air filter regularly enough. The issue could also be caused by malfunctioning equipment like thermocouples, flame sensors, or even your thermostat, though. We’ll diagnose the problem correctly and resolve it completely. To learn whether your thermostat could be part of the issue, check out<\/span> HVAC system or thermostat: which one is the problem?<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfamiliar Sounds<\/h2>\n

When your heater starts to rumble, grind, screech, etc., you need to contact us right away. Just because it is still putting out heat does not mean that these are not serious signs of trouble! Aside from the sound of it starting up and perhaps forcing air throughout the home, your heater should be fairly quiet. If yours is suddenly making a racket, repairs may well be needed.
