How a Malfunctioning Heater Affects Your Home
Is your heater on the fritz? A malfunctioning unit can have a larger impact on your home than failing to heat it to the ideal temperature. It can also have the following effects:
- Your family may become sick. This can be especially dangerous if the issue is caused by a serious problem, like a carbon monoxide leak.
- The indoor air quality in your property may be reduced.
- Your property can be at an increased risk of a fire.
- Your monthly utility bills may increase.

Common Furnace Problems
In the middle of a chilly winter, the last thing you want is to deal with a malfunctioning furnace. Unfortunately, occasionally your furnace might encounter problems. Some common issues it might experience are:
- Lack of maintenance: Failing to schedule regular maintenance visits with our certified professionals can lead to a number of issues with your unit.
- Dirty or clogged filters: Filters can accumulate dust, dirt, and other debris that can cause your system to malfunction and lead to poor indoor air quality. Replacing your filters as required will lessen the strain on your unit.
- Mechanical wear and tear: As your system ages it will start to develop more frequent issues and begin to lose efficiency. When this happens it is usually more cost-effective to have the system replaced.
- Malfunctioning thermostat: If the temperature in your home or commercial property does not correlate with the setting on your thermostat, you should have it inspected by a professional.
- Inadequate airflow: Disrupted airflow can cause your unit to overheat.
- Carbon monoxide leak: Cracks in your unit can cause carbon monoxide to leak out, creating a highly dangerous situation in your home or commercial property. If the pilot light on your unit has turned from blue to yellow, if you notice an excessive amount of condensation on your windows, or if you start to feel sick in any way, evacuate your property immediately and seek help.
