Baby, It’s Cold Inside: Signs Your Heater Needs Help

You know that moment when you wake up, see your breath in the air, and wonder if you accidentally fell asleep outside? Yeah… that ain't romantic winter chill. That’s your heater not heating.

Before you start gathering and layering your ex's hoodies, let’s talk about the signs your heater’s waving the white flag.

1. Your House Is the Same Temp Inside As It Is Outside

If your heater’s running, but you’re still walking around in three pairs of socks, it’s not doing its job.

Pro tip: if your thermostat says 72, but your body says hypothermia, it’s time to call in the pros.

2. You Hear Weird Noises

We get it, it's spooooky season, but your heater should hum, not haunt. Clanking, banging, or squealing means something inside isn’t happy. Something you shouldn't ignore, friendo.

3. The Airflow’s Weak

When your vents are putting out less air than a deflated balloon, your system’s struggling. You shouldn’t have to stand directly over or under the vent just to feel a hint of warmth.

4. You’re Burning Candles for Warmth

Candlelit dinners are cuuute, until it’s your only heat source. If you’ve started strategically placing candles and space heaters around your home like a low-budget campsite, your heater has officially failed its ONLY job.

5. Your Bill’s Higher Than Your Thermostat

If your energy bill’s skyrocketing, but your house still feels like an igloo, your system’s working overtime to underperform.

6. The Smell Test

Turn your heater on and smell something funky? That “burning dust” smell might be normal for a minute or two, but if it lingers or smells off, shut it down and call a tech. Better safe than smoky. (You can totally steal that line; we're super proud of it).

7. You’re Sleeping in Layers

When you start going to bed wearing socks, hoodies, and that ugly pom pom hat that never sees daylight, WAKE UP. It’s time to bring in some backup.

Wrap-up

Your heater’s job is to keep you comfortable. Period. So if your house feels less like home and more like a freezer, give Heritage Air Services a call.
