Common Causes of Heating System Issues
Unfortunately, your heater may face a problem during its life span. The most common causes of heating issues include the following:
- Uneven or insufficient heating: If you notice a lack of heat or cold spots around your home, there’s likely a problem with the heating unit or the thermostat that needs to be repaired.
- Bad odors: A burning smell or an odor reminiscent of rotten eggs indicates an issue with your heater, which should be addressed ASAP.
- Pilot light isn’t lit: A pilot light that either fails to turn on or lights up orange or yellow instead of the standard blue is a surefire way to tell that there’s an issue with your unit.
- Loud noises: Banging or rattling within your unit means a piece is broken or loose — call us for prompt repair!

Troubleshooting Tips for No Heat
When your unit experiences issues, there are several common issues you can check before getting heating system repairs. The key is knowing where to look and what to look for.
To troubleshoot your heating system when the heat won’t work, check the following components:
- Thermostat:Â Check your thermostat to ensure it is set at your desired temperature. If it is set to the incorrect temperature, you can switch back to the right one. If the thermostat doesn’t respond, you may need to replace it or get new batteries.
- Circuit breaker: For an electric system, assess the circuit breaker to ensure it has not tripped. You can reset a tripped breaker by pushing the handle to the “off” position and pulling it back to the “on” position to restore power.
- Fuse box:Â Check the fuse box for a blown fuse and replace it if necessary. In cases where the fuse continues to malfunction after being replaced, you may need professional heating repairs.
- Power switch: Look for the power switch on your heating systems and double-check if it is in the “on” position.Â
- Filters:Â Dirty or clogged filters can prevent your heating system from delivering the right amount of airflow to your home. Be sure to check your filters for build up once a month and replace them when necessary.
- PVC venting:Â Dirt and debris in your vents can disrupt airflow and hinder the functionality of your heating systems. Inspect your PVC venting and remove all blockages for proper airflow.
Repair vs. Replace: How to Choose?
It isn’t always easy to tell when to repair your heater versus replacing it. If your unit hasn’t reached the end of its life span, it’s more than likely that a repair will suffice.
Home heating system repairs should cost less than half of what it would cost to replace your unit. More minor issues, such as the ones discussed above, typically warrant a repair over a replacement, so consult with a professional before making the decision.

FAQs
How long will the heater last?
Depending on the type of heater you use, its life span typically ranges from 15 to 30 years. This answer also depends on the frequency of use, the area’s climate, and more.
How often should I schedule heating maintenance to help prevent the need for repair?
Scheduling maintenance annually is a good rule of thumb. We also recommend doing so before fall hits as your best bet to ensure your heater is fully equipped to take on the cold and keep you and your home warm, comfortable, and safe.
