Signs You Need Heater Repair

During Winter months, the last thing you want to happen to your heater is have it completely fail. But, what signs do you look for to know when it's time for your heater to get that repair.

• Burner Flame Turns Yellow -
  If you notice that your burner flame is any other color besides yellow, your heater has a problem that needs to be addressed. A yellow flame can mean that there is a presence of carbon monoxide and can pose a serious health hazard for you and your household. Contact us immediately if you notice this problem.
• Odd Noises -
  Heater will always make some noise when they first start up. But, if you are hearing loud banging, clanging or screeching, it could be either a loose belt or a faulty motor that is in need of repair.
• Constant Thermostat Adjustments -
  Have you found yourself constantly cranking the heater up well past what is reasonable for your home? Your heating system may not be distributing heat properly throughout your home, it could be a leak in your ductworks and in need of professional repairs.

Sioux Falls Heater Replacement

Apart from the equipment not turning on, there are several other indications you need heater repair. These signs include frequent cycling, poor airflow, banging or whistling noises, and uneven heating. If you’ve noticed any of these signs, get in touch with Midwestern Mechanical, Inc. right away. We respond rapidly, so you won’t be left out in the cold for a long time. However, there are times when replacing your heating system is a more practical solution.

Consider a replacement when:

• Your furnace or boiler is over 15 years old - 
  Depending on the age of your home, your heating system could be well over 15 years old. Most heating systems only last up to 15 years, maybe a little longer if you're lucky. But, the older your system gets, the more likely you will run into your system breaking down and needing frequent repair. For the best heater installation in Sioux Falls, give us a call today to replace your old system.
• Higher Utility Costs - 
  In addition, the age of your heating system can also impact your utility costs. As the heater gets older, it's going to have to work twice as hard in order to provide the proper heat through out your home. Failing parts and your system burning extra fuel to work is usually a sign you need to replace your HVAC unit.
• Short Cycling - 
  Have you noticed your heater turning on and off constantly? It should only turn on and off about 4 times every hour in order to keep your home at the temperature you set the thermostat to. If it's doing it much more frequently then that, your heater is short cycling. Call our Sioux expert heating technicians today to identify the problem.

What is AFUE?

AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, and is a measure of how efficient a furnace or boiler is in converting fuel to energy. The higher the AFUE percentage, the more efficient the appliance is.

For example, a furnace with an AFUE of 90% means that 90% of the fuel is used to heat the home, while the other 10% escapes up the chimney or is otherwise lost.

When shopping for a new furnace or boiler, many people want to choose one with a high AFUE rating to maximize energy efficiency and minimize fuel costs. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to compare AFUE ratings and find the right appliance for your needs. One method is to look at the EnergyGuide label, which must be prominently displayed on all new furnaces and boilers sold in the United States. The label provides information on the appliance's make and model, its AFUE rating, and its annual operating cost. You can also view this information on the manufacturer’s website. Another way is to have a professional heating technician explain your options based on your input, which is the easiest and most reliable way to get what you need.

The Importance of Regular Heating Maintenance

When was the last time your heater had a checkup? Because you rely on your heating system to keep you warm in the cold Sioux Falls winters, it's important to keep it running in peak condition when you need it most.
