Signs You Need Professional Heating Repairs
A seemingly minor heating system issue can quickly escalate into a full-blown and expensive breakdown. Catching and fixing problems early can help you save money in the long run and prevent the inconvenience of a complete system failure. Paying attention to these early warning signs and calling us promptly helps us address the root cause before it becomes a major headache.
Here are some common signs you need professional heating repairs:
- Strange noises. Your system should operate fairly quietly. If you hear grinding, squealing, rattling, or banging sounds coming from your unit, there is likely a mechanical problem. These noises often point to a failing motor, a loose component, or a broken belt. We can diagnose the source of the noise and fix it before the part fails completely.
- Inadequate heating. If your home feels cold even with the thermostat set high, your heating system probably isn’t working properly. This could be due to a clogged filter, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a problem with the heating element. We can find out why your system isn’t producing enough heat and work to restore its performance.
- Unusual odors. A burning smell when you first turn on your heater is normal. It’s the result of dust burning off the components. However, if the smell persists or if you notice a metallic or plastic odor, it could signal an electrical issue or a failing part. We can pinpoint the cause of the odor and address it safely.
- Increasing energy bills. A sudden, unexplained spike in your utility bills often means your heating system is working harder than it should to achieve the same level of heat. We can identify the cause of the inefficiency and work to get your system running efficiently again. If your equipment has exceeded its expected service life, replacement may be necessary.
- Frequent cycling. If your system is turning on and off more often than usual, we call that "short cycling." This can be caused by a dirty air filter, a faulty thermostat, or an oversized unit. Short cycling puts unnecessary wear and tear on your system and can lead to a premature breakdown. We can diagnose the cause of the frequent cycling and make the appropriate adjustments.

Save Money on Expensive Repairs with Our Heating Preventive Maintenance Program
Regular maintenance is the most effective way to protect your wallet from a major heating repair bill. Our preventive maintenance programs are designed to catch small issues before they become expensive problems. During a service visit, we can clean and inspect your entire system, identifying worn-out parts and making necessary adjustments. We can find a loose wire or a failing motor before it causes a complete system breakdown, helping you avoid a costly emergency service call. This proactive approach can save you money on major repairs and extend the life of your heating equipment.
Our maintenance program also helps your heating system operate at peak efficiency. When we clean and tune up your unit, it doesn't have to work as hard to heat your home, which should help lower your monthly energy bills. A well-maintained system runs more smoothly and uses less fuel, putting money back in your pocket. By investing in a little upkeep now, you can save a lot on future repair costs and lower your energy expenses.
When Should I Consider Replacing My Heating System Instead of Repairing It?
When your heating system suffers a serious breakdown, deciding whether to invest in an expensive repair or replace it outright can be a tough decision. The first thing to consider is the age of your system. Many heating systems have a lifespan of 15 to 25 years, so if your unit is approaching or has passed this range, replacement may be the more cost-effective choice. As a system ages, its efficiency drops, and it requires more frequent and expensive repairs. Sinking money into a failing, older unit is usually not a good investment.
Another important factor is the cost of the repair itself. A good rule of thumb is to replace your system if a single repair costs more than 50% of the cost of a new unit. Additionally, if you find yourself calling us for repairs every heating season, the cumulative cost of these fixes will quickly add up and may exceed the price of a new system. A new, more energy-efficient system will not only provide better performance but can also save you money on utility bills in the long run. Our team at Armstrong Air & Electric can help you weigh these factors and decide on the best option for your home and budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a strange clicking noise when my furnace tries to start?
A consistent clicking noise usually indicates an issue with the igniter or flame sensor, which is failing to properly ignite the gas or sense the flame, causing the system to retry or shut down.
How long should a heating repair appointment typically take?
Most standard repairs, such as replacing a thermostat, igniter, or capacitor, can be completed within one to three hours, assuming the technician has the necessary parts on hand.
Why does my furnace turn on, but then the flame quickly blows out?
This is usually caused by a dirty or malfunctioning flame sensor. The sensor fails to detect that a flame has ignited, causing the system's safety controls to immediately shut off the gas supply.
What does it mean if my furnace is making a loud scraping sound?
A loud scraping sound often means the blower wheel is loose or damaged and is hitting the housing. This requires immediate shutdown to prevent further motor damage.
