When to Call a Charlotte Heating Repair Technician
-
Heating or Cycling Problems – When you start your furnace, notice whether there is adequate heat flowing out of the registers. Sometimes it is as simple as you closed a register and forgot to reopen it. Other times, there could be an issue with airflow, which will decrease the amount of heat flowing into your home. Also, take time to notice if the unit is staying on all the time or if it is cycling on and off every few minutes. The constant state of cycling on and off could indicate a dirty flame sensor or that the unit is overheating. This can also be caused by a leaky heat exchange. If you notice this issue, call your Charlotte HVAC repair technician immediately.
-
Blower Issues – If you turn on your HVAC system and it runs but no air is coming out, then it is likely an issue with the blower. There are numerous issues that can result in the blower not working properly. The blower motor can overheat, causing the furnace to shut down or it may simply be a belt that needs replacing on the blower unit itself. If the blower runs continuously then it could be an issue with the thermostat not working properly or the limit switch shutting down because of overheating.
-
Ductwork – The ductwork carries the heated air throughout your home. A lack of hot air in one of the registers or, if air is barely blowing out of the registers, could indicate an issue with the ductwork. The ductwork could be damaged causing the hot air to leak into other areas. Additionally, water leaks can cause major damage to ductwork resulting in mold growing inside of the the ductwork and then being transferred throughout the home.
-
Funny Noises Coming from the Furnace – If you turn on your heating system and you hear funny noises, ie squealing sounds, grinding, rattling noises, it is definitely time to call the heating repair technician. These noises can signal something as simple as a belt that needs to be replaced or something more serious like the unit motor needing to be fixed.
