Cold weather is sneaking up fast! Is your heating system ready?
Fall is the best time to make sure your furnace or heat pump is prepared because nothing ruins a chilly fall night like your heating system calling it quits.
Here are the most common heating problems we see every fall:
- Delayed Heat or No Heat at All
Your system has been snoozing all summer, your furnace may struggle to kick on. Dust, ignition issues, or a stubborn thermostat may keep the heat from starting. If your system is slow to respond or blowing cold air, it may be asking for a little attention.
✅ Pro Tip: A professional inspection ensures burners, ignitors, and sensors are in ready-to-go mode before the real cold hits.
- Strange Smells & Odd Noises
When furnaces first fire up for the season, you may notice a dusty smell; that’s normal. But persistent odors, burning scents, or loud banging, rattling, or squealing? Not normal. These may signal worn components, loose ductwork, or airflow issues.
✅ Pro Tip: Don’t ignore unusual sounds or smells; they’re the furnace’s early warning system.
- Uneven Heating Throughout the Home
If certain rooms feel like the North Pole while others feel like a tropical vacation, it could be a sign of duct leaks, blocked vents, or failing blowers. Your home should heat evenly and efficiently; comfort shouldn’t be a guessing game.
✅ Pro Tip: Let us check your airflow and duct health before winter amplifies the issue.
- Dirty Filters & Restricted Airflow
A clogged air filter = higher bills + poor airflow + more breakdowns.
It’s the easiest fix, and the most forgotten.
✅ Pro Tip: Replace or clean filters every 1–3 months during heating season.
