In San Jose the majority of the year has warm weather. It is easy to forget and leave our heating systems neglected until those few cold months arrive. Keeping your heating out of sight and out of mind can lead to some major issues and costly repairs. Fortunately, the sooner you can pick up on the fact that something has gone wrong with your heating, the smaller the repairs. To help save you time, money and energy, we have put together a short list of signs that it may be time to look into repairing your San Jose, CA heating system.
- You Notice Strange Noises Coming from the Heater. While every furnaces tends to make a noise here and there, you will likely notice the sound of something wrong when you hear it. Sounds like high pitched screeching, banging or clunking noises are typically a sign that your heating system is in need of a repair.
- Your Bills Continue to Rise: While you may expect your bills to peak during cooler seasons when your heating system is in full use, you may be paying more than you need to be. Older heating systems need to be maintained more often and typically use more energy the longer they go without a repair.
- You Can’t Get the System to ignite: If it has been some time since your last repair you may find yourself facing some mechanical issues like a problem with the igniter. If you can’t get the system to ignite or you hear a ticking noise when you attempt to, it may be time to look into a repair.
- Your Family is Showing Signs of a Carbon Monoxide Leak: Carbon monoxide leaks are deadly, and unfortunately don’t give off any type of color or odor. However, if your family is showing unusual symptoms such as headache, light headedness, nausea, stinging eyes or flu-like symptoms it may be a sign that a carbon leak has occurred in your heating system. If this is the case, get out of the house immediately and call for help.
- It’s Simply Time for a Repair; Staying ahead of maintenance can save you from some pretty uncomfortable temperatures at home. Waiting until peak season (fall and winter) to get a repair means having to wait behind the many customers who also waited until they needed their heat the most! By doing regularly scheduled maintenance checks (about as often as you would run a maintenance check on your vehicle) can help ensure you stay comfy and warm all year long.
