Signs Your Heater Needs Professional Repairs

Rooms that never catch up
If a couple of bedrooms lag behind—especially on the windy side of the house—your system isn’t moving warm air where it’s needed. That can point to airflow problems, a tired blower, or duct issues that a tune-up can uncover.

Runs nonstop (or starts/stops constantly)
A heater that never rests is wasting energy; one that short-cycles can wear itself out early. Both usually trace back to a control issue, airflow restriction, or a sensor that needs cleaning or replacement.

Thermostat goes up, but the air feels cool
First, check the filter and make sure supply/return vents are open. If air still feels lukewarm, the heat source may be struggling (dirty burners, weak ignition, or a heat pump stuck in the wrong mode).

New sounds or persistent smells
Thumps at startup, squeals, rattles, or a burning/musty odor that doesn’t clear after a few minutes are “call-us” clues. They can be harmless—but they can also precede a breakdown.

Radiators/baseboards that won’t heat
For hydronic systems, gurgling or cold sections usually means air in the loop or a circulation problem. Bleeding and balancing typically brings the whole line back to even.

Outdoor unit encased in ice (heat pumps)
A light frost is normal in messy weather; a sheet of ice that never clears is not. That points to a defrost or drainage issue that needs service.

Bills jump with no change in use
A sudden spike vs. last winter is a classic efficiency red flag. Small fixes often bring costs back in line; if not, we’ll lay out repair-vs-replace options.

Safety cue: yellow pilot or CO alarm
A pilot flame should be steady and mostly blue. If it’s yellow—or a CO detector sounds—get everyone outside and call the gas utility or 911. Then call us to make it safe and right.

Quick homeowner checks before you call: replace a dirty filter, open all vents/returns, confirm the thermostat is set to HEAT and AUTO, clear snow/leaves from outdoor intakes/exhausts. Still off? We’ll take it from there.

Common Reasons Why Heaters Start Struggling in Bowling Green, OH

  1. Thermostat hiccups — Heat won’t come on or overshoots. Try fresh batteries, set to HEAT + AUTO, and make sure the thermostat isn’t in direct sun.
  2. Dirty filter / tight ducts — Weak airflow, long run times. Replace the filter and open all vents; we handle duct sealing/adding returns if needed.
  3. Ignition or flame-sense trouble — Tries to start, then shuts off. We clean/replace the igniter or sensor and set the burners right.
  4. Draft/exhaust (inducer) issues — Hums but won’t fire; error light. Clear snow/leaves from intake/exhaust; we test the pressure switch and repair the inducer.
  5. Blower motor wear — Squeal/burnt smell, air never reaches far rooms. We test/replace the motor or capacitor and rebalance airflow.
  6. Hydronic circulation/air in lines — Gurgling radiators, cold baseboards. We purge air, set the expansion tank, and restore even heat.
  7. Heat pump icing/defrost faults — Outdoor unit stuck in ice after slush. Keep the area clear; we check defrost controls, drainage, and raise the unit if needed.
  8. Heat exchanger cracks (safety) — Soot, wavering flames, or a CO alarm. Shut it off and get outside; call the utility/911 first, then us—replacement is often the safest fix.

Our techs arrive in stocked trucks and can fix most common issues on the first visit, so you’re not waiting around in layers.
