It\u2019s about time to say goodbye to winter and hello to spring! It won\u2019t be very long before you can shut down your heater for the season, and soon after that, you\u2019ll start needing your air conditioner. But what about that worry you have that something\u2019s just not quite right with your heater? Should you ignore it, hope it won\u2019t cause a major failure in the next month or so, and then see if it has somehow resolved itself by the time you need your heater again in the fall?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No! You should address any concerns about your heater promptly, even if it\u2019s late in the season. Here are some of the biggest reasons why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You Don\u2019t Want Problems to Get Worse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might have a minor concern about whether you\u2019re really getting as much warmth from your heater as you used to or a sound that seems unusual to you. Whether that\u2019s caused by a damaged fan, an overtired blower motor, or a belt that\u2019s fraying or slipping out of position, it could be a very simple repair. But if you continue to operate your heater for the rest of the season, you could end up with a completely burnt-out motor, or a fan blade or belt flying free and destroying other components. A postponed repair is often a much more extensive, and thus more expensive, repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Don\u2019t Want a Total Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There will still be some chilly days this spring. And you never know when there might be a shockingly cold April night. If your heater is already struggling, it\u2019s most likely to fail when it\u2019s working the hardest, which is just when you need it the most. The heating season might be almost over, but having no heat when you still want it is always unpleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heater Problems Cause Inefficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, when your heater isn\u2019t working as well as it should, it keeps trying harder and harder to get the job done. That means it\u2019s consuming more fuel. If you allow your heater to keep operating like that, it will drive up your utility bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There May Be Safety Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the heating season, when your heater has been working diligently for months, there are certain repair needs you’re more likely to see. Airflow problems (have you been changing your air filter regularly?) and burning-out motors are common in late winter or early spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But another issue that\u2019s more likely to crop up this time of year is a cracked heat exchanger. Since this is the component that prevents combustion gasses from escaping into your home, and thus protects you from carbon monoxide poisoning, it\u2019s very dangerous when it gets cracked. Early warning signs can include clicking sounds, odd smells, soot on your furnace, or a yellow or orange or flickering flame rather than one that is steady and blue. The late warning sign is when your carbon monoxide alarm goes off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
