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, Heating, and Air 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.

FAQs
There are key signs to look for that indicate your thermostat may be to blame rather than your heater. If your thermostat doesn’t have power, the reading doesn’t match the room temperature, the thermostat won’t respond, or it forgets programmed settings, the thermostat is likely the issue and your heater isn’t to blame.
The most common reasons your heater requires repair include dust or debris-filled ductwork, old filters, broken components, a faulty starter, a broken thermostat, or a tripped circuit breaker.
