Signs You Need Heating Repair
Not every heating issue is immediately obvious — but all heating problems deserve prompt attention to prevent bigger problems. Let the team at Service Today help get your heating back to normal if you notice these signs:
- Your home is less comfortable due to temperature, air quality, or humidity changes.
- Your heating system short-cycles, meaning it turns on and off constantly.
- You notice strange noises or smells from your system.
- You have unusually high heating bills.
- You have a yellow pilot light on a gas-powered system.
- You have a frequently tripped circuit breaker on an electric-powered system.
If these signs sound familiar or you need 24/7 heating service, call Service Today to request heating repairs.
Common Causes of Heating Problems
There are many ways for a heating system to malfunction — and they’re often unique to the different types of equipment we use to heat our homes:
- Gas, electric, and oil furnaces: Issues with the fuel source and heating elements are common with furnaces, as are problems with blowers and ductwork.
- Oil and gas boilers: Boiler problems usually amount to sediment buildup, leaks, or issues with the radiators or baseboard heaters that distribute the heat.
- Heat pumps: Heat pumps use technology similar to an air conditioner, so they can have refrigerant leaks, a bad capacitor, or a broken reversing valve.
- Geothermal systems: Geothermal heat pumps may have improper ground loop pressure, leaky gaskets, bad pumps, and many of the same issues as air-source heat pumps.
- Hybrid systems: The biggest headaches with hybrid heating systems often arise from thermostat problems that make it difficult to switch between your furnace and heat pump.
- Ductless mini-splits: Ductless HVAC systems may have refrigerant or condensate leaks, clogged condensate drains, and dirty air filters.
Of course, not all heating problems can be repaired — and for older units, heating replacement is often the more cost-effective option. It’s important to upgrade your unit when the time comes, but our team can help you determine if repair or replacement is best. Schedule heating services by calling the experts at Service Today.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I troubleshoot my heating system?
There are a few key things to check when you’re not getting heat:
- Make sure your filter is clean. Replace or clean it if needed.
- Ensure your air vents aren’t closed or blocked.
- Check that your pilot light is lit if you have one.
- See if the breaker is tripped and flip it back on if it is.
If your heating issues persist, you’re probably looking at an issue best left to professional HVAC technicians.
Why is my heating system making a weird sound?
Startup noises aren’t a problem in most cases. However, abnormal sounds are cause for concern:
- Buzzing sounds are likely an electrical problem.
- Squealing noises could be a worn belt or bearing.
- Popping sounds can be caused by dirty burners.
Why is my heating system giving off a weird smell?
Heating system odors can include:
- Burning odors: This usually happens the first time you turn your system on for the fall, as dust is burned off the unit. Otherwise, it’s an electrical issue that likely needs emergency service.
- Mold or mildew odors: You likely have mold or bacteria built up on your heating coils or ductwork.
- Rotten egg smells: Natural gas smells like rotten eggs, so you can more easily detect a gas leak. Leave your home, call your utility company to shut off your gas, and then call your HVAC company for repairs.
