A reliable heating system is essential for your comfort, especially during chilly Jacksonville winters. However, heating systems can develop problems over time. Knowing what to watch for can save you time, money, and stress.
Here are some common heating problems and tips to prevent them.
Does one room feel like a sauna while another feels like an icebox? Uneven heating is a common issue caused by poor airflow, blocked vents, or duct problems.
How to Avoid It:
Check and clean air filters regularly.
Ensure vents are open and unobstructed.
Schedule regular duct inspections to address leaks or blockages.
A sudden spike in your energy bill may mean your heating system is working harder than it should. This could be due to dirty filters, aging equipment, or a failing thermostat.
How to Avoid It:
Replace filters every 1-3 months.
Upgrade to an energy-efficient system if your current one is outdated.
Calibrate your thermostat or consider a smart thermostat for better control.
If your furnace isn’t heating, the problem might be with the pilot light, gas supply, or thermostat settings.
How to Avoid It:
Check the thermostat is set to “heat” and the temperature is correct.
Inspect the pilot light or ignition system.
Call a professional to address gas line issues safely.
A system that constantly turns on and off, known as short cycling, can wear down components and reduce efficiency.
How to Avoid It:
Make sure filters and vents are clean.
Have a professional inspect your system for issues like an oversized furnace or malfunctioning thermostat.
Rattling, banging, or squealing sounds can indicate loose parts, motor issues, or airflow problems.
How to Avoid It:
Schedule annual maintenance to tighten and lubricate parts.
Address unusual sounds immediately to prevent bigger repairs.
Heating systems can circulate dust, allergens, and other pollutants if not maintained.
How to Avoid It:
Replace filters regularly.
Consider adding an air purifier to your HVAC system.
Clean ducts periodically to reduce debris buildup.
