Early spring is an uncertain time for the weather. This isn\u2019t a time of the year to just hope your heating system will work fine even as it sends you signals that it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sooner you move to have professional heating repair in Kelowna, BC<\/a> to address the problem, the less likely you\u2019ll end up with a bigger, more expensive trouble\u2014and right when you need the heater the most!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sort of signs do we recommend you watch for with your heater? There are many ways a heater can start to act \u201coff,\u201d but below are the five most common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1 \u2013 Rising energy bills with no explanation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We advise you to always pay attention to your energy bills and keep a record of them, such as on a spreadsheet along with your other budget items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you notice a sudden uptick in your heating costs and it\u2019s not due to increased use (such as having guests over or staying in more), it\u2019s worthwhile to have HVAC technicians check on the system. Almost any type of heater malfunction will cause the unit to drain extra power and raise your bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 \u2013 Strange noises from the heater<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A strange noise counts as anything that you don\u2019t normally hear the heater make. If you\u2019ve used your heater steadily for at least one winter season, you\u2019ll know the sounds it makes when it runs, and they\u2019ll usually fade into the background of your day-to-day life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds that interrupt this, such as clanging, mechanical shrieking, whistling, grinding, hissing, bubbling, and clicking are warnings that something isn\u2019t right. Call the pros to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 \u2013 Drop in airflow from the vents<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you notice that the airflow coming from the room vents is sluggish, it could come from several problems. First, change the air filter for the HVAC system if it\u2019s clogged. This is a frequent cause of heating troubles and will also cause you to pay more on your energy bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it\u2019s not the fault of the filter, the problem could be with the blower fan or leaks in the ductwork. Only trust the experts to diagnose the problem and find the best way to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 \u2013 Uneven heating<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Are there cold spots in your house when the heating system is running? Don\u2019t ignore this, because it\u2019s often an indication that the heater is starting to lose its capacity and soon won\u2019t be able to provide any heat at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many different sources for uneven heating, and our technicians can find out what\u2019s wrong so we can get your heater back to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 \u2013 You have to continue to fiddle with the thermostat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Heaters and thermostats are designed so that you only need to set the thermostat at a single temperature and leave it there for long stretches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find that you have to continually adjust the thermostat because the house is flipping back and forth from \u201ctoo cold\u201d to \u201ctoo hot,\u201d you either have a faulty thermostat or you have a faulty heater.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
