Loud Noises

Every heating system makes some amount of noise as the burner ignites or blower fans turn. However, when a system begins to fail, you may hear the scraping sound of a misaligned blower fan, the high-pitched whining of a loose motor belt, or the rattle of loose screws. Pay special attention if your system starts with a bang. This may indicate that the burner ignition is not timed correctly.

Rising Heating Bills

If the cost of your heating bill is an unpleasant surprise, it may mean that your heating system is not burning fuel efficiently. If you have a gas furnace, be sure to examine the pilot light. A burner that is running properly will burn with a blue flame. A yellow pilot light not only indicates inefficient burning, but it may also indicate excess production of carbon monoxide. If you see yellow, be sure to have your system checked by a professional right away.
