Signs of Trouble with Older Heating Systems

Heating systems are designed to last a long time, but winters last a long time too here in Wayne, PA, and older heating systems may not always be able to keep up with the workload. If your furnace, boiler or other heating system is past its warranty expiration date, you need to watch carefully for signs of trouble. Now is the ideal time to catch any problems that might raise, before the cold weather has begun in earnest. That way, you have a chance to address it before the winter goes any further. Here is a quick list of some signs to watch for in an older heating system.

Higher Bills

Heating bills tend to spike when the weather turns cold, and it’s normal this time of year to see them go up. But you should compare your bill to the same period last year and watch for unexpected spikes in the rate. It could mean a component in the system has begin to fail.

Low Heat Levels

Low levels of heat could indicate a problem with the burners, a breach in the ducts, or a leak in the gas lines somewhere. It raises your bills, since it takes much longer to warm your house, and the added strain could easily result in a more serious breakdown.

Low Air Flow

Low air flow often means a problem with the fan or fan motor, though blockages in the system may cause it as well. It’s a serious problem because it usually means that hot air is trapped in the furnace, potentially damaging other components as well. Modern systems will shut down when they get too hot, but that still leaves the problem in place, forcing you to fix it before you can use your heater to the fullest extent.
