Common Heater Problems

Home heaters can experience various issues, and troubleshooting them often requires system knowledge. Here are some common problems with heaters and solutions you can try before calling:

Lack of
Heat

If your heater isn’t producing enough heat or no heat at all, it could indicate issues with the thermostat, pilot light, or heating elements.

Strange
Noises

Unusual noises such as banging, squealing, or rattling can signal mechanical problems or loose components within the heater.

Frequent
Cycling

If your heater turns on and off frequently, it may be due to a faulty thermostat, clogged air filter, or improper airflow.

Increased
Energy Bills

A sudden spike in energy bills without increased usage could indicate inefficiencies in your heating system that require attention.

If you encounter persistent issues or are unsure about the solution, we recommend you give us a call for a thorough inspection and repair. We are available any time for emergency heater repair.

Heater Replacement

How to Tell When It's Time to Replace

Knowing when to replace your heater depends on several factors, but here are some signs that indicate it might be time to consider a replacement:

  1. Age of the Heater: Most heaters have a lifespan of around 10-15 years. If your heater is approaching or past this age, replacement may be necessary soon, especially if it’s showing other signs of wear.

  2. Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself frequently calling for repairs or if the repair costs are becoming significant, it might be more cost-effective to replace the heater rather than continuing to repair it.

  3. Increased Energy Bills: As heaters age, they often become less efficient. If you notice a steady increase in your heating bills despite normal usage patterns, your heater may be losing efficiency and could benefit from an upgrade to a newer, more energy-efficient model.

  4. Uneven Heating or Inconsistent Temperature: If some rooms in your home are significantly colder or warmer than others, or if you notice that the temperature fluctuates excessively, it could indicate that your heater is no longer capable of maintaining consistent heating throughout your home.

  5. Strange Noises or Odors: Unusual noises such as banging, rattling, or squealing, as well as strange odors like burning or musty smells, can indicate internal mechanical problems or even potential safety hazards.

  6. Visible Signs of Wear: Inspect your heater for visible signs of wear and corrosion. Rust or cracks in the heater casing or on the burner can indicate that the unit is nearing the end of its useful life.

  7. Safety Concerns: If you have concerns about the safety of your heater, such as the presence of carbon monoxide leaks or other safety hazards, it’s crucial to address these immediately. We recommend having a carbon monoxide detector installed in your home. Older heaters may pose a higher risk of such issues.

  8. Changes in Household Needs: If your household has grown or if you’ve made significant renovations that affect heating requirements, your current heater may no longer be adequate.

When considering whether to replace your heater, it’s advisable to consult with an HVAC professional who can assess the condition of your current system and provide recommendations based on your specific circumstances. We may recommend additional or separate HVAC care services, such as air duct cleaning, to increase the efficiency of your unit.

Heater Maintenance

Keep your heater running for years with regular maintenance! Most heating units should be inspected twice a year before each major shift in temperatures to ensure the system is operating at maximum efficiency and safely. 

What to Expect at a Maintenance Appointment

When Aire Serv of Omaha shows up for an heater maintenance appointment, you can expect much of the same as mentioned in the repair section above. We check every component, test unit functionality, and ensure everything is doing what it needs to do. We will also take steps such as: 

  • Lubricate moving parts
  • Tighten electrical connections
  • Test safety controls
  • Examine the entire system for potential failures
  • Clean debris around the unit

Even if your heater seems to be functioning fine, we recommend scheduling a tune-up twice a year to ensure it stays that way. It’s a great rule of thumb to have maintenance performed around the same time you change your air filter. We’ll even replace or clean your air filter for you! Regular maintenance is the best way to prevent breakdowns and extend the life of your system.

The Aire Serv Advantage Plan

Members of the Aire Serv Advantage Plan can enjoy discounted prices, priority scheduling, and two maintenance visits a year. When your maintenance plan is on auto-pilot, you never need to worry about when it’s time for your next check-up. We’ll send you maintenance reminders, save you money with discounted repairs, and provide you with peace of mind.
