Signs You Need Heating Replacement
If you already have a heater in your home but you fear it’s nearing the end of its days, read through the following signs that let you know it’s time to contact Pioneer for replacement services.
Unexpected Increase in Heating Bills
When your heat usage hasn’t increased but your energy bills have, that indicates your heating system is lacking in efficiency. Sometimes repairs can help, but a newer, more efficient heater may be the better choice.
Short Cycling
Your heater turning on and off more quickly than it’s supposed to is called short cycling. A heating system that short cycles is enduring more wear and tear and will have a decreased lifespan.
Inconsistent Temperatures
If the temperature throughout your home is uneven, you may have a heating system that isn’t correctly sized for your space. The team at Pioneer will look into the issue and decide whether heater replacement is the right choice.
Over 10-15 Years Old
Since furnaces last 15 to 20 years and heat pumps last 10-15, when your heater reaches that age and begins to struggle more frequently, it may be time to get it replaced with a newer model.
Strange Smells
The smell of rotten eggs can indicate a harmful gas leak in your home, so pay attention and take quick action by evacuating and calling emergency services. If you notice the odor of burning plastic, your heater may be overheating. A chemical smell can be due to a cracked heat exchanger. All of these should be investigated to see whether the issue is serious enough to warrant a heating replacement.
Sparks Or Smoke
Both of these are serious symptoms that can lead to a fire in your home. At this point, your heating system will more than likely need to be replaced.
Pilot Light Not Blue
A yellow or orange pilot light (or any color that isn’t blue) can signal a carbon monoxide leak, putting you and your family in danger. The best solution for this is often to replace your heater.
