3 Common Signs That Your Heater Needs Repairs

While this part of the country has milder winters than most, every homeowner still needs a healthy and efficient heater to keep their home comfortable. Fortunately, heaters often give a few signals when they aren’t at their best. Three common signs can tell you that it’s time to schedule Panama City Beach heater repair so you aren’t left in the cold.

1. Strange Noises

Furnaces and heat pumps are designed to operate quietly. They might make some noise when they run, but they shouldn’t be causing you to turn the TV up or speak louder. 

If anything sounds like grinding, squealing, or scraping, there may be something wrong with an internal mechanism. You should turn the unit off and call for Panama City Beach heater repair to ensure your unit is still safe to run.

2. Higher Energy Bills

It’s normal to see a small uptick in energy bills when you’re using your HVAC more often. But if the numbers get to new heights, there could be something wrong with your HVAC. You should contact an HVAC technician for a maintenance visit to rule out any problems or determine whether a repair is necessary.

3. Weak Airflow

You should always expect a steady flow of warm air whenever your heating unit is running since that’s exactly what it's designed to do. If it can’t distribute warm air evenly, or if the air coming out is weaker than normal, you’ll likely experience hot and cold spots all over your home. 

If this is happening in your home, call a professional to come and check whether there’s something wrong with the blower motor or the heating element itself.
