There are many different factors that can cause a heater to break down and many of them can be avoided with proper maintenance throughout the year. While many things can be done at home for maintenance and repair, it is important to contact a licensed technician to ensure that you don't cause more harm than good. Below are several of the possible reasons that can cause a heater to 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.
Regular heating maintenance is the best way to avoid and reduce excessive repairs. While maintenance has an associated cost, it is much cheaper then completely repairing a system and can also increase longevity and energy efficiency.
