Identifying Common Heater Problems

Trying to guess the mystery behind a malfunctioning heater can be frustrating. Several factors can contribute to your heating system underperforming or breaking down entirely. At Tundra Air, our skilled technicians can quickly diagnose the problem, ensuring your home returns to that cozy, warm sanctuary you love. 

Here are some common heater issues that our team is ready to tackle for you:

• Thermostat malfunctions: Often, a faulty thermostat can be the culprit behind heating problems. It can cause the heater to turn off prematurely or not turn on at all.
• Dirty or clogged filters: Regular maintenance is crucial. Dirty filters restrict airflow, causing the system to work harder, which can lead to decreased efficiency and potential system damage.
• Pilot or ignition control issues: If your heater struggles to light or stay lit, the ignition system may be at fault. This could range from a simple fix to a more complex one.
• Wear and tear: Over time, components of your heater can wear out, impacting its ability to heat your home efficiently.
• Unusual noises or smells: These can be indicative of a more serious issue. Rattling, banging, or musty smells should be addressed promptly by a professional.

Whether it’s routine maintenance, a complex repair, or just making sure your system is running as it should, count on Tundra Air to keep your home warm when you need it most. Give us a call, and let our experts provide you with reliable solutions.

Why Does My Heating System Make Strange Noises?

Strange noises from a heating system can be caused by a variety of issues, depending on the type of heating system you have (e.g., forced air, radiator, or baseboard). Here are some common causes:

• Air in the System (Radiators or Baseboard Heating): Air trapped in pipes or radiators can cause gurgling or bubbling sounds.
• Expansion and Contraction (Ductwork or Pipes): Metal ducts or pipes expand and contract with heat, causing popping or ticking noises.
• Dirty Air Filters (Forced Air Systems): A clogged air filter restricts airflow, leading to whistling or buzzing sounds.
• Debris in the Blower (Forced Air Systems): Dust or debris in the blower fan can cause rattling, squealing, or scraping noises.
• Malfunctioning Blower Motor (Forced Air Systems): A failing blower motor can create squealing or grinding sounds.
• High Water Pressure (Boilers or Hydronic Systems): Excessive water pressure can cause banging or knocking noises (water hammer).
• Loose or Rattling Parts: Loose parts like ducts or vents can create rattling or clanking noises.
• Overheating (Furnace): An overheating furnace can lead to high-pitched screeching or whistling sounds.

If the noises persist or seem to be getting worse, it's a good idea to have your heating system inspected by a professional. They can diagnose and address any underlying issues, ensuring the system runs smoothly and safely.
