Common Winter HVAC Concerns

The holiday season is the time of year where you should be getting ready to go shopping and spend time with friends and relatives. It is also the time of year where HVAC problems are likely to occur. To prevent your home from being a source of discomfort during the holidays, here are two common heating issues that could end up costing you a fortune that you should be on the lookout for.

Heater Suddenly Stops Working

If your heater suddenly conks out in the middle of the night, don’t panic. There could be several reasons why this has occurred. Grab a flashlight and take a look inside of your fuse box to ensure the fuse to the furnace has not blown. If everything checks out with the fuse, the next step is to check the pilot light. If the pilot is out or you haven’t found the problem, it’s time for you to contact your local Tennessee HVAC professionals.

Drafty Rooms

Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary for you to keep changing the temperature on your thermostat in order to keep your home warm and comfortable. If you have a problem with your home feeling cooler than it should and you have high heating bills, the likely culprits are your windows, doors, and quite possibly the roof.  Old insulation or a lack of it can also cause a house to be drafty. Windows and doors that are not properly sealed and or have loose paneling can allow drafts or gusts of cold air into your home. This can make keeping it at an optimal temperature a challenge. A roof that is in need of repair should be serviced as soon as possible to prevent any further damage and discomfort.

Even though it is a good idea to winterize your home before the start of the winter season to prevent these issues, it is not too late to start now. For more info on how to protect your home for the winter to prevent HVAC issues, check out our blog.
