If you haven’t already, you’re probably thinking about turning on your home’s heating system soon. With the sun setting earlier and winter quickly approaching, it’s that time of year. But, if you haven’t run your heating system since February or March, you may need a heat check and other seasonal HVAC maintenance. Scheduling an inspection to check for needed repairs and ensure your heating system is ready for winter is a great thing to include in your fall maintenance checklist. However, if you haven’t scheduled a professional to come take a look, these are the signs you may need to make that call.
#1 Weird Noises or Smells
Decided to go for it and turn on your heat without a professional check? If you smell an odor or hear odd noises coming from your heating system, it’s time to call a technician. Noises could be due to a piece being loose, something falling into the area around your HVAC or in it, or a deeper issue. Unpleasant odors could mean a disconnect internally, you may need an air filter replacement, or it could be a variety of other common issues. No matter what the problem is, including heating system maintenance services in your cold weather preparation is a great way to avoid an emergency call for noises and smells from your HVAC.
#2 You Haven’t Had a Professional HVAC Inspection This Year
It’s recommended that HVAC inspections are done at least once a year, if not twice. If you live in a climate where the summers are quite hot and winters are really cold, you should have an inspection every fall and spring. If you haven’t yet had your HVAC serviced this year, now is the time. HVAC seasonal maintenance and checks are the best way to prevent expensive issues and make sure your system is functional year-round.
#3 Your HVAC Bills Are Higher Than Normal
If your heat is turned on and your bill seems unreasonably high, it’s time for a Trademasters HVAC inspection. While costs are expected to be higher than 2024, an exorbitantly high bill could mean something is broken or has a low efficiency. With an HVAC inspection, a professional technician can perform a heating system repair service to improve efficiency or fix the issue. The cost could be due to a small issue or lead to the discovery of something big, so it’s important to schedule something as soon as you notice or as a preventative measure.
