Hello World! Welcome Friends! Is there something strange in your heating and cooling system? Terrible smells drifting through your house at night? Eerie sounds that have you up all night? Then your system may need some serious help.
Every central heating and cooling system develops problems. With proper maintenance, your system could last for years, or it could die an ignoble death due to misadventure. The fact is, even with routine maintenance, you need to pay attention to what comes out of your system.
While the list of tells could go on for pages, the three most important are smells, sounds, and air quality. Read on as we go into detail about three signs your heating and cooling system needs help!
1. Strange and Terrible Smells
A musty smell coming from your heating and cooling system could mean your system needs a good cleaning! A burning smell could mean there’s an electrical problem somewhere inside your system. Either way, it would be a good idea to call for a repair inspection to diagnose how bad the problem is.
After cleaning, installing Ultraviolet lamps can help reduce the growth of microbes in your system. However, if the damage to the system is too great to warrant fixing, the repairman might recommend you replace it together. Whether you do that or wait and clean it some more first is at your discretion.
2. Abnormal Sounds
If you’re hearing strange noises from your central heating and cooling system, it might be trying to tell you something. When you hear things like clanking, whistling, and clanking you should call a repairman straight away! These sounds indicate that your system needs repairing immediately.
If you hear things like buzzing, flapping, or scurrying then you probably have a pest problem. It would be good to get that checked out fast, as pests can do significant damage to your home heating and cooling system. The sounds you hear can indicate anything from a loose screw to major structural damage! Click here for more information regarding what to do if you need help with your boiler at home.
3. Aberrant Air Quality
Your home heating and cooling systems tend to sit dormant for a different part of the year, which can lead to dust in the vents and grime coating system components and corroding them. You can combat this by simply dusting your vents, but sometimes it needs more tender care. You can call the best heating and cooling companies to get quotes on a good cleaning at least once a year.
And if your air quality is bad, it may be a sign of incorrectly installed air ducts. Getting your ducts in a row by a more reputable repair company is a good option, and that might be the cause of other points on this list! Even if your ducts are correctly installed you might want to get them insulated if they aren’t already.
Keep an Eye on Your Heating and Cooling System
No matter the sounds or smells that your heating and cooling system might make, doing a health-check on it once or twice a year is wise. Even wiser is keeping the card for your favorite home heating and cooling repair service near your phone!
