heating maintenance in Denver, CO

Should your heater experience an issue, act quickly to avoid compromising your comfort. BullsEye Plumbing Heating and Air offers professional heating repair and inspection services to help keep your unit in excellent condition. Here are just a few of the things you should know about:

Screeching

A screeching sound usually means there’s a problem with the motor, belt or bearing of a heater. These issues may not necessarily be dangerous to you and your family, but without prompt attention, you may eventually need extensive repairs on the heater.

Rattling

Ensuring regular heating maintenance in Colorado Springs, CO is essential to preventing problems. If your heater begins making a rattling noise, a cover panel might be loose. You can check the panels to confirm that they’re on tight. If you do find a loose part on the exterior of your unit, you may be able to tighten it yourself. Otherwise, it is better to contact a professional.

Chirping

If you have not been using your heating system for a while, such as during the summer, it may make a chirping noise. However, if you’ve been using it regularly and it begins to chirp, this sound can signify that you need a replacement belt. Consulting BullsEye Plumbing Heating and Air is a good idea so you know whether or not your heater needs repairs.

Clanging

A clanging sound doesn’t call for urgent heating services. This noise indicates that your heater is beginning to work and that metal parts are expanding and contracting with the temperature change. It’s perfectly normal and doesn’t signify a problem with the unit.

Booming

A booming noise from heaters usually means there’s a delay in the gas ignition as it builds up, instead of immediately lighting. It could also signify that the ductwork is expanding and contracting as your heater begins to work. You may need to change the air filters; make sure that the vents are open or call a technician.
