That\u2019s the bad news. The good news is that you can usually spot signs of an issue before a full-bore breakdown occurs. Ideally, you\u2019ll schedule a regular maintenance session with a trained professional, which can help you out on that front. But either way, the sooner you can act, the less of a chance your heater\u2019s problem will leave you stuck without warmth in the middle of our freezing Boston, MA winters. If you can <a href=\"\/heating\">check your heater <\/a>for signs of trouble, it gives you a big leg up on the issue. Here\u2019s a few quick indicators for you to watch out for.<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Low Air Flow. <\/strong>The heat won\u2019t do much good if it can\u2019t be distributed throughout your home, and in fact if there\u2019s trouble with the air flow, it could lead to bigger problems. All that hot air will just stay stuck in the furnace, and could cause additional components to overheat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low Heat Levels.<\/strong> This one is a bit of a no-brainer, but it may be subtler than you expect. The heat may be coming out, but in lower levels than you\u2019re used to, which will lead to higher bills and increased strain on your system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Odd Noises.<\/strong> An odd noise is basically any noise you haven\u2019t heard before, and which you can detect only when your heater is running. Whether it\u2019s a bang, a rattle or a hum, it\u2019s best to shut off your system and call in a repair technician right away.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Higher Bills.<\/strong> Higher bills are a big way to indicate that something is wrong even if you can\u2019t detect any overt signs of it. A faulty component will force the system to work harder in compensation, resulting in higher bills even if you aren\u2019t using the heater more than normal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Count on Cooling Unlimited for all your heating repair needs!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sooner or later, every heater runs into problems.
