These tell-tale signs will help you determine if you need to call a heating repair technician for an emergency heating repair service.

Breakers Keep Tripping

When your heating system turns on, it uses electricity, but the energy usage should be minimal just to turn the heater on. Breakers that frequently trip just to turn it on require emergency repair because it is a sign that your electrical system is on the verge of being overloaded.

Every time breakers trip, the electricity on every appliance and outlet is lost as well. You can only regain the power when you reset the breaker. However, trips that happen more often than usual aren't just frustrating. Trips are also a sign that there's something wrong with your heating system. The sooner you get your heating system repaired, the better.

Water Around Your Heating System

Water is a primary component of your residential heating system. It keeps your home warm, and it may leak out of your heating appliance over time. Leaks can put your home at risk for serious water damage. If left unaddressed, the foundation, flooring, and walls of your home will be affected as the problem can lead to the growth of mold and mildew. Water leaks also make your heating system less efficient. Be sure to take care of leaks by calling 1-800-Plumber +Air of Scottsdale.

Strange Noises

When you turn your furnace on, it will make occasional noises that will eventually go away once the furnace runs. However, if your furnace or heating system is still making strange noises and it gets louder the longer your heating system runs, it means there's a problem with your furnace. Loud noises are due to the loose components and parts of your furnace. If not fixed, these noises can lead to your system's permanent damage.

Malfunctioning System

Your heating system keeps your home warm but when it won't keep up with the settings of your thermostat, it's an indicator you need to call an emergency heating repair technician. A malfunctioning heating system won't keep your home warm enough. When your home remains cold, there's a possibility for your piping system to freeze as well. Even your electronics will get damaged and you'll end up looking for ways to keep the air warm inside.

You need to get your system inspected if it's no longer keeping up with the settings of your thermostat. Your thermostat might need replacement or there might some underlying issues with the unit itself.

Unpleasant Odor

One of the issues with your heating system that can pose a serious threat to your safety is a gas leak. When you smell something similar to sulfur or rotten eggs coming from your unit, it's more likely caused by a gas leak. If this happens, you have to turn off your gas main and contact a professional like us, so we can schedule an emergency heating service. Gas leaks can cause fires if they're not immediately detected. The sooner you get rid of gas leaks, the safer your house will be. While it might be tempting to repair gas leaks on your own, you need training and experience to repair the issue.

Furnace Not Running Consistently

Your heating system needs to run until it reaches the required temperature. Once it reaches the temperature, the thermostat will cut off and will turn back on if the temperature gets lower than what was set. However, this doesn't mean that your thermostat will turn on and off frequently. If your furnace isn't running consistently, you need to get it repaired immediately.

Units that cycle on and off quickly are prone to wear and tear and breakdowns. Your furnace needs to work properly so your home stays warm during winter. Be sure to pay attention to your furnace and observe how frequent it turns on and off. If it only runs for a short period of time, then it's a sure-fire sign you have to get it fixed.

How to Protect Your Heating and Air

It's imperative that your system is capable of providing you with enough protection from the harsh weather. During winter, your heating system needs to be in tip-top shape. Here's how you can protect your heating and cooling unit.

Cover your outdoor units: Extreme weather can harm your units so be sure to cover them. Your units may also catch trash that can affect their overall performance.

Switch off your system when not in use: While you need to keep your system on in extreme weather, it's recommended that you turn your HVAC systems off if you're not using them to minimize the risk of power-related incidents.

Protect exposed wires: If you experience short-circuiting incidents it's necessary to protect exposed wires by making sure they're properly covered and insulated.

Don't avoid maintenance: Routine maintenance is essential in preventing damage caused by extreme weather. Not keeping up with maintenance can shorten the lifespan of your unit.
