On a scale of 1-5, how would you rank the performance of\nyour heater\u20141 being \u201cI have absolutely no complaints!\u201d and 5 being, \u201cUh\u2026 my\nheater isn\u2019t working\u2026\u201d? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, you\u2019re closer to 1\u2014your heater has been behaving just fine and giving you efficient, powerful heat. But what if that\u2019s not the case? What needs to occur to get better results? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on as we go over what different rankings for your\nheater might mean and what can be done about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201c1\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we alluded to above, this means your heater is in good\nshape! It\u2019s providing you with dependable heat and your home is warming to the\ntemperature you set on the thermostat and shutting off when it\u2019s supposed to.\nYou don\u2019t suffer from uneven heating anywhere in your household and you don\u2019t\nhear any strange noises coming from the heating unit. In addition, you had\nmaintenance done this past fall and haven\u2019t had to call for surprise repairs at\nall this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c2\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alright, not bad, not bad. However, if you\u2019re ready to rank\nyour heater at a \u201c2\u201d instead of a \u201c1\u201d there\u2019s a reason you\u2019re not 100%\nsatisfied, right? Maybe your heater is struggling to start up when you first\nturn it on. Or perhaps you\u2019ve discovered that the heat from your furnace or\nheat pump doesn\u2019t quite seem to be reaching the rooms at the back of the house?\nTake a look at your heating bills too, do they seem to be a little higher than\nthey should be? These can all be indicative of relatively minor problems, but\nthey can grow worse if you wait too long to call us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c3\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Uh-oh, now we\u2019re talking about some more serious needs. Did\nyou already need to call us for heating repairs this season? Perhaps your\nhousehold doesn\u2019t seem to be warming up as quickly as it used to in years\nprior, or you hear some loud and unsettling noises coming from the unit. If you\u2019re\noverall just not happy with how your heating system is performing, even if it\nis technically still functional and providing your home with some <\/em>heat, it\u2019s enough of a reason to\ndial our number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c4\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ouch! If you\u2019re here, you know you need to give us a call for repairs. Folks who rank their heating performance this low typically have a heater that\u2019s constantly tripping its circuit breaker, isn\u2019t providing any heat to certain parts of the home, is showing signs of disrepair, or has already needed multiple repairs, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combine this with age\u2014a well-maintained heater should last\n10-15 years\u2014and we\u2019re looking at a breakdown here soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c5\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So your heater doesn\u2019t work at all, huh? You\u2019ve probably already called us or another HVAC professional for repairs. But we have a question for you to ponder\u2014is your heater over a decade old? If so, and you find yourself consistently calling for repairs over the last couple of years, and\/or your energy bills have skyrocketed since then\u2026 it\u2019s time to consider an upgrade, and we can help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
