There can be many potential reasons that a heater might break down, and many of them can be avoided with proper preventative maintenance. While there are many steps you can take at home to maintain and improve energy efficiency, for all major repairs and maintenance it is important to contact a professional so that you don't cause more harm than good. Below are some of the possible causes that may make a heater break down or function improperly:
- Outside Fan is Broken. Heating units come with a fan that transfers cold from inside to the outside. Even if the heater is pumping warm air inside, the air will be cooler than intended because the hot air is not being cycled outside.
- Corroded or Loose Wiring. Many times the heating unit may simply not be receiving power due to loose or corroded wiring. This will not only cause discomfort due to cold weather, but also can pose a serious danger to you and your family.
- Ducts in Need of Cleaning. Sometimes the heating system may not even be broken but running inefficiently due to dirty ducts. Rodents, insects, and debris can all contribute to a less efficient heating system. Cleaning your ducts will also lead to improved indoor air quality.
- Outside Unit is Dirty/Cluttered. Home heaters may not work properly if there is excessive leaves and shrubbery surrounding the unit. Either trim or remove the shrubbery and remove leaves to ensure the heater has space to function.
- Leaks and Cracks in the Building's Envelope. Often times there are leaks and cracks where air cold air can infiltrate the home from the outside. There are several different ways to test for air leaks like a blower door test.
The most effective way to avoid excessive repairs is by having your hvac system periodically maintained and checked. This not only reduces repairs but helps to maintain the efficiency of your system and increase longevity. Call Comfort Services today at 803-772-4490 for a free consultation and quote on a repair.
