Frequently Asked Questions
Should I repair or replace my heating system?
Sometimes, heating repair isn’t the most cost-effective solution. We recommend replacing old heating units or those with severe, ongoing issues. Generally, if a heating repair costs more than 50% of a new unit’s value, it’s often best to consider a replacement.
Why is my heating system making a weird sound?
Unusual noises are typically a sign of underlying issues. Banging or clanking sounds indicate loose or broken parts, while squeaking or screeching often points to a worn blower motor.
Hissing could suggest a gas or refrigerant leak. Rattling may indicate loose components, and buzzing often points to electrical problems.
Why is my heating system giving off a weird smell?
Using your nose is especially important for early detection of heating issues. A sulfur-like smell requires immediate attention, as it could indicate a gas leak, while musty odors often point to mold or mildew in your system or ductwork.
Burning smells should also be monitored, as they may signal dirty burners or dust buildup in the unit or ductwork.
