- Keep your house warm
Boilers
Boilers work by heating up water and then using pumps to send that hot water through pipes to different areas of your house. This hot water moves to baseboards, in-floor heating systems, or radiators in your home to create a cozy environment. After the hot water has done its job, it goes back to the boiler, where it gets heated up again. This hot water keeps circulating in a loop until your thermostat tells the boiler that your home is warm enough.
Common Signs Your Boiler Needs Repair
Rattling or rumbling sounds
These sounds can be a sign of a number of issues, including sediment buildup, poor combustion, a malfunctioning circulator pump, and more.
Leaks
Leaks can occur due to a cracked or corroded boiler tank, damaged seals, or a faulty pressure relief valve. If left unchecked, a leak could eventually result in the full breakdown of your boiler.
Unusual smells coming from the boiler
Strange smells may be associated with components overheating, electrical problems, or even gas leaks.
Unexplained increase in your monthly bill
An unusually high bill may mean your boiler is running inefficiently due to buildup of scale, poor water circulation, or faulty components like the thermostat or zone valves.
Lack of heat or uneven heating
Possible causes for this issue include airlocks in the radiators or pipes, low water pressure, a malfunctioning circulator pump, or a faulty thermostat.
- Keep the hot air flowing
Furnaces
A furnace is a type of heating system that uses a powerful fan to push air over a hot metal part called a heat exchanger. The exchanger gets heated up by a flame fueled by natural gas. The hot air leaves the furnace and travels through the ducts in your house to designated registers or vents, usually in the floor of each room. The vents blow out the warm air to heat your home to your desired temperature.
Common Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair
Frequent cycling on and off
Furnaces are designed to operate in cycles, with breaks in between to maintain a comfortable temperature. However, if you notice that your furnace is turning on and off frequently within a short period, it could be a sign of a malfunctioning thermostat, clogged air filters, or a faulty flame sensor.
Unusual noises
Banging, clanging, rattling, whistling, or squealing sounds are often a sign of loose or damaged components such as belts, bearings, or blower motors.
Yellow or flickering pilot light
If your furnace uses a pilot light, it should burn a steady blue flame. A yellow or flickering pilot light can be a sign of incomplete combustion, which could be due to a clogged or dirty burner, improper gas pressure, or a faulty thermocouple.
Unexplained increase in your monthly bill
A sudden spike in your bill with no obvious explanation could mean your furnace is functioning inefficiently due to issues like a clogged air filter, duct leaks, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
Lack of heat or uneven heating
This can result from various issues, including a malfunctioning thermostat, a blocked air filter, a faulty blower motor, or a broken heating element.
- Heating & Cooling in One Unit
Heat Pumps
Heat pump systems work both as air conditioners and heaters for your home, but here’s the interesting part: they don’t actually make heat. Instead, they take heat from one place and put it in another!
Think of it this way: a furnace makes heat inside your home and spreads it around, but a heat pump grabs heat from the outside air, even when it’s cold out, and brings it inside to warm your home. When you use a heat pump for cooling, it’s just like an air conditioner. It pulls heat from inside and pushes it outside. So, in a nutshell, a heat pump is like an air conditioner that can switch between cooling your home and warming it up by moving heat around.
A heat pump can also be used in combination with a furnace, which is called a “dual fuel” system, or it can be used as a stand-alone fully electric full home heating system. Read our blog on heat pumps vs air conditioners.
Common Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repair
Frequent cycling on and off
If your heat pump is constantly cycling on and off, it may be struggling to maintain your desired temperature. This can not only reduce comfort but also lead to higher energy bills.
Grinding, squealing, or hissing sounds
These noises may indicate worn-out or damaged components. Ignoring them could lead to more involved and expensive repairs down the road.
Decrease in airflow
A noticeable decrease in the airflow from your heat pump's vents can mean restricted airflow or clogged filters.
Unexplained increase in your monthly bill
If you've noticed a sudden spike in your monthly energy bill without any changes in usage, your heat pump may be operating inefficiently. We'll assess your system's performance and recommend cost-effective solutions to lower your energy bill.
Insufficient heating or cooling
Perhaps the most obvious sign of trouble is when your heat pump fails to deliver the level of heating or cooling you expect. If you find your home uncomfortable due to insufficient temperature control, it's time to schedule a professional inspection.
