What Are Signs You Need Heater Repair?

It is important to be aware of the signs that your heater is not working properly. The sooner you call for repairs, the better. Ignoring a problem with your heater can lead to more extensive damage and more expensive repairs. If you notice any of the following signs, reach out to our San Antonio heater repair team right away.

Common signs that your heater needs to be repaired include:

• Insufficient heat - If your heater is not producing enough heat, it may be due to a problem with the thermostat, the pilot light, or the heating element.
• Uneven heating - If some rooms in your home are warmer than others, it may be due to a problem with the ductwork or the heating element.
• Strange noises - If your heater is making strange noises, such as banging, clanging, or squealing, it may be due to a loose or broken part.
• Unpleasant odors - If your heater is producing a burning smell, it may be due to a problem with the motor or the wiring. If your heater is producing a musty smell, it may be due to a problem with the air filter or the ductwork.
• Short cycling - If your heater is turning on and off frequently, it may be due to a problem with the thermostat or the heating element.
• High energy bills - If your energy bills have been higher than usual, it may be due to a problem with your heater. An inefficient heater will have to work harder to heat your home, which will cause your energy bills to go up.

Common Causes of Heater Breakdowns

One of the main reasons for a heater shutdown is old age. Heaters over 10 years old often start malfunctioning and eventually break down completely. 

Improper installation is another common cause of heater breakdowns. If the heater is installed incorrectly, it can lead to frequent breakdowns and costly repairs. 

Poor also contributes to heater malfunctions. Neglecting regular heater maintenance can allow small problems to escalate, shutting your system down completely.

Our Heater Repair Process

First, we identify the problem through a thorough inspection. Once we diagnose the issue, we cut off the unit’s power supply. This step allows us to disassemble the necessary components and access the broken parts. We then repair or replace problems as needed and reassemble the unit.

Before leaving, we perform a final inspection. We want to make sure the heater is functioning properly and efficiently. If it isn’t, we go back to work.

Does My Heater Need to Be Replaced?

Sometimes, repairs simply can’t get the job done. 

If you notice any of these five signs, it's time to think about replacing your heater. 

• Age
  If your heater is over 10 years old, repairs may not last. 
• Frequent Repairs
  If you're spending more money on repairs than you did on the initial cost of your heater, a replacement may be necessary. 
• Inconsistent Heating
  If some rooms are much colder than others, your heater may not be keeping up with its job. 
• Higher Than Usual Energy Bills
  If your energy bills skyrocket without explanation, your heater could be working harder than it should, wasting energy and money.
• Strange Sounds Coming from Your Heater
  Grinding, clanking, or banging noises could indicate a serious problem.
