Signs You Need Heating Repair
When your heating system is on the fritz, you need an HVAC professional with experience and training to fix the problem correctly. Signs you need heating repairs ASAP include:
- Lack of heat or little to no airflow: First, check to see if the power to your heating system is on and your thermostat is working. Also, check your air filter to see if it’s clogged and change it. If the airflow is still poor, call us!
- Banging or rattling noises and foul odors: Loose internal components are often the reason for strange noises, but we don’t recommend opening the furnace to troubleshoot on your own. If you notice a foul smell, your filter could be clogged with dust, debris, and mold. Change the filter, if possible, and call us if the smell persists.
- Short-cycling: If your heater turns on and abruptly off without finishing its warming cycle, it could have a faulty heat exchanger or overheat. Professional attention is essential.
- Thermostat issues: If your thermometer is unresponsive to your settings or doesn’t reflect the temperature in the room, replace the batteries and reset the thermostat by turning the power off for a while. If that doesn’t solve the problem, call us!
- Yellow or weak pilot light: Furnace pilot lights should always be bright blue and have an intense flame. If your pilot light is yellow and weak, it could indicate incorrect gas pressure or sediment buildup, which can block oxygen flow. Professional repairs are urgent.
- Surging energy bills: As heating systems age, their efficiency decreases. If your heating bills have suddenly skyrocketed, it could indicate that maintenance is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my air filter be replaced?
Generally, the thicker the filter, the longer it can go without being replaced: 4- to 6-inch filters can go six to nine months, whereas 1- to 3-inch need replacing every few months. Be sure to factor in home activity. If there’s construction going on, for example, you should replace your filter every few weeks until the dust dissipates.
Is it dangerous when a furnace has a yellow pilot light?
A yellow pilot light, or lazy flame, can be hazardous because it leaks carbon monoxide into the air. Prompt professional attention is needed.
