When to Call for Emergency Heater Repair
While not all furnace problems require immediate repairs, some are worse than others and can impact your comfort and cause significant system damage if you don’t deal with them as soon as possible.
Here are the most common heating problems that warrant calling an emergency repair professional.
Electrical Issues
If you have problems like breaker trips, electrical buzzing or humming, or flickering lights when your furnace kicks on, they’re dangerous situations that you shouldn’t take lightly.
Loud, Unusual Noises
All home furnaces and heating systems make noise when running; however, if yours develops loud grinding, rattling, or squealing noises, it usually means you have a loose part or worn-out bearing. If left alone too long, these problems can cause irreparable system damage.
Gas Odours
If you smell gas in the house coming from your furnace, shut off the main gas valve and call for emergency repair as quickly as possible.
The Furnace Blows Cold or Lukewarm Air
If your heater isn’t providing you with the warmth you need, don’t hesitate and hope it fixes itself because it’s likely to get worse. Depending on how cold the weather is, you should call for emergency repairs right away.
If you’re stuck wondering whether to call for emergency furnace repair or not, we recommend always erring on the side of caution and being safe rather than sorry.
The Hidden Benefits of Furnace Maintenance Service
As fall approaches, you want to be certain that your furnace is up to the task of keeping your family comfortable and safe for the next few months.
However, you’d be surprised how many homeowners opt-out of hiring a certified heating company for yearly tune-ups, thinking they’re unnecessary or a scam.
Opting out of furnace maintenance is like not bringing your car to the mechanic for regular oil changes and tune-ups.
If you’re one of those who doesn’t see the benefits of yearly heater maintenance, here are a few benefits that might make you reconsider.
Warranty Maintenance
You may not think you need heater maintenance because, after all, you have a warranty to pay for repairs if something goes wrong. However, what you might not realize is that many manufacturers’ warranties contain a clause stating that you must perform routine maintenance to keep the warranty valid.
Better Indoor Air Quality
Another hidden benefit to having routine heater maintenance is that it keeps your system clean, which means you get cleaner air throughout the house, allowing everyone to breathe easier.
Lowers Monthly Utility Bills
If you’re one of those people who think that annual heater maintenance isn’t worth the money, then consider how much you can save on your monthly utility bills by keeping your system running efficiently. Looking at it that way, the maintenance virtually pays for itself.
Avoid Costly Repairs
Most heaters don’t break down in a day; minor problems develop over time and grow to cause system damage requiring costly repairs. With annual heater maintenance, you have a better chance of finding these minor issues and fixing them before they have the opportunity to wreak havoc later.
