When you are getting into the fall and winter weather you know that it is only a matter of time when you have to turn on your heater. The heating system has sat dormant while the house was being cooled. The cold weather outside is something that should stay outside and that is why the heating in your home should be in good working condition. Most people will make sure the heater has been checked out and inspected before they start using it. That does not mean that the heater will continue to work without any problems. The problems that can happen will need the attention throughout the season. When you start to notice that the heater is starting to have problems it is best to call out a professional right away. This is to get the repair done that is needed and also to keep your house warm. It is a good idea to know what to look for.
Agape Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing Has What to Look for when House Furnace Heater Isn’t Working
Furnace Making Loud Noise: The heater that you have in your house is something that has been manufactured and tested to run smoothly. That means that if you start to use the heater and you are hearing noises you know should not be happening, it is a sign that you need to have it looked at and repaired. When you are hearing noises coming from the heating system it means that is it actually still working but it is not working efficiently. It also is a warning sign that there is a problem with the unit somewhere and it is important to have it inspected. This should lead the technician to a diagnosis so that it can be repaired. Noises could be anything from hissing, banging and screeching to name a few.
Furnace Flame Color: If you have a heating unit that is run off of gas you want to be careful with the flame. The gas is ran to the unit and that means there is a pilot light that is always on. The light is there to ignite the gas so that the unit can start to create heat. You want to make sure the pilot light is on and that it is the right color. The flame should be a constant flame that is blue. If you notice the flame is either red, yellow or even green you want to make sure you have the unit looked at. If the flame is any other color than blue it is telling you that there is a problem that needs the attention of a skilled technician.
House Heater Not Working: The last thing that you want to make sure that you call out a professional for is if the house is not heating up properly or at all. Of course this is something that you will notice and that you will usually call for help. This can be a span of many problems and the best way to know what to do is to call out a professional.
