Heating in Birmingham, AL | Your Heater Lifespan

There are two main things that you can do to ensure that your heating system lives as long and healthy a life as possible. First, make sure to schedule annual maintenance. Annual maintenance allows your heating technician to closely examine your system, detecting problems that may not have progressed far enough to give off warning signs yet. These problems can then be fixed before they cause damage to your system.

The second thing you need to do to ensure that your heating system lasts as long as possible is to call for prompt repairs. Heating system issues get progressively worse the longer they are allowed to develop. If you notice any sort of strange behavior coming from your heating system, call for repairs immediately to limit the damage as much as possible. We always seem to get the question, "How do I know I need a repair?" Aside from the obvious, such as your heater isn’t blowing hot air, it is not always very apparent. But a few warning signs to look out for are:

• High energy bill: If your system has become inefficient or something is broken, your energy bill may bear the brunt of that and cost you much more than it should.
• Thermostat is incorrect: If your thermostat is reading a comfortable temperature, but you know it isn’t right, there could be an electrical or a sensor issue.
• System erratically turns off and on: Similar to the previous point, it could be a sensor issue which is incorrectly alerting the system that the room is the proper temperature. But it could also be a mechanical issue.
