WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON SIGNS OF HEATING FAILURE?
Most of the time, when a heating system breaks it’s pretty obvious as the heater simply won’t turn on. However, most people don’t realize that furnaces offer warning signs that they are about to break. If you notice any of the following, call one of the NATE-certified HVAC technicians at Waldrop Plumbing Air Electric to perform a diagnostic inspection of your heater. Catching the problems early can help you save money in the long run.
- Sudden spike in utility bills— If you’ve noticed a sudden spike in your utility bill, your furnace is likely not working the way it should be. It’s normal for utility bills to increase at the beginning of the chilly season when you initially start running your heater, but if it’s a dramatic spike and higher than normal, have your heater looked at.
- Your heater constantly turns off and on— Heaters typically kick on for about 15 minutes and then cycle off for a while. If your heater keeps turning off and on repeatedly, it is short cycling. This is a key indicator that something is wrong and means that the heater is trapped in the startup phase, turning off before it has a chance to fully complete the cycle.
- You hear strange noises— If you If you hear any strange noise coming from your ductwork while running your heater, there is a good chance that something is not working the way it should be. Most people will hear grinding, booming, loud thumps, or clicking noises.
- You notice unusual smells— It’s perfectly normal for heaters to emit a dusty sort of smell when you first turn it on at the start of chilly Greenville winters. If the smell doesn’t go away or you notice any other unusual odors when using your furnace, call an HVAC technician to take a look. If you smell gas, immediately vacate your home, turn off the gas supply, and call your gas company or emergency services.
IS IT SAFE TO DIY HEATING SYSTEM REPAIR
Repairing your heating system yourself puts you and your home at risk. With DIY repairs, you may run into:
- Uncomfortably long repair times— When your heater breaks on a chilly day, you want it fixed fast. Without the knowledge of a professional, you may find yourself spending days trying to get it back up and running.
- Your warranty becomes void— If your system is still under warranty, there is often a clause that permits repairs to be done only by a professional.
- Serious or fatal injuries— Working with your home heating is a complex and potentially dangerous process. When doing repairs yourself, you risk electrocution, fume exposure, explosions, and poisoning..
- You may cause further damage— Without proper training, doing repairs yourself can cause your heating system to become even more damaged, costing you more in the long run.
- You can start a house fire— As your heater runs out of propane or natural gas, tampering with these elements puts you at risk of starting a house fire, causing serious damage to your home and health.
With these risks in mind, it’s best to contact one of our NATE-certified technicians to repair your heating. They’ve been trained to do the job safely and properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common reasons for needing my heater repaired?
Heaters often require repairs due to the following issues:
- Dust or debris-filled ductwork blocking proper airflow
- Old or clogged filters reducing efficiency
- Broken components, such as motors or belts, that prevent your heater from functioning properly
- A faulty starter mechanism causing difficulties in turning the heater on
- A broken thermostat delivering inaccurate temperature readings
- A tripped circuit breaker interrupting the power supply to your system
Regular maintenance can prevent many of these issues from becoming significant problems.
How do I tell whether my heating issue is the heating unit itself or my thermostat?
There are several signs that can help determine whether the issue lies with your thermostat rather than the heating unit:
- The thermostat doesn’t have power or won’t turn on
- The thermostat reading doesn’t match the actual room temperature
- It doesn’t respond when you try to adjust settings
- It forgets programmed settings or schedules
If you notice any of these issues, the thermostat is likely the culprit, and your heating system itself may not be to blame. However, if the problem persists, it’s best to consult a professional technician to evaluate both the thermostat and the heating unit.
