Skokie Heater Repair 

The freezing winter months are the worst time for a heater malfunction — of course, that’s exactly when heating systems tend to break down. There are signs that signal a problem with your heating system that requires the attention of an experienced HVAC technician. 

Signs that a heater needs help include:  

• No heat: If the heat isn’t turning on at all, the problem may be with your thermostat, heating system, or circuit breaker. This is always an urgent situation in extreme temperatures.  
• Insufficient heat: When the heater is running but the house isn’t warming up enough, you could have a problem with the heating system or thermostat. 
• Uneven heating from room to room: Are some areas of the house warmer or colder than others? A qualified HVAC technician can help restore even heat throughout the house. 
• Cold air coming from the vents: Turning on the heat only to feel cold air coming from the vents is a sign that your heating system needs professional attention. 
• Pilot light issues: The pilot light on your furnace should be on and blue. If the pilot light won’t stay lit or the flame is orange or yellow, call for repairs. 
• Loud noises: Every heating system makes a bit of noise. However, if you notice that your heater is suddenly making loud clanging or banging noises, something is broken and needs to be repaired.  
• Strange odors: If you notice a strange odor, your heater needs repair. When the odor is like rotten eggs, turn off the heat, leave the house immediately, and call for help. 

Regardless of the problem with your heating system, waiting to call for Skokie heater repair almost always makes the problem worse. If you notice any of these signs or another problem, don’t wait to schedule repair service.
