Possible causes for needing heating repairs 

There are a number of causes for your heating system to stop operating or perform inefficiently, particularly if it hasn’t been serviced in a while.

It’s possible that the thermostat is broken, but the heating system is working fine. The good news is that a repair will not be costly! Thermostat malfunctions may also influence your central air conditioning, so you’ll want to get this taken care of as soon as possible.

Other potential heating system problems include:  

Damaged ductwork. Another element to consider is damaged ductwork, which affects both your cooling and heating systems. Damaged ductwork impairs the performance of your HVAC system, increasing energy costs.

Clogged air filter. Set a reminder to check your furnace’s air filter once a month and change as needed. This helps to prevent dust and debris from entering the heating system while also protecting the internal components from wear and tear caused by it.

Stuck damper. Dampers regulate the flow of heated or cooled air through your ductwork. If a damper is stuck, air may not be able to reach all of the vents, resulting in an uneven heating and chilly spots.

Electrical malfunction. There may be problems with the wiring, which you should address as soon as possible for both your heating system and your safety. Not fixing this might make it worse and put you in risk.
