Top 10 Heating System FAQs

A heating system blowing cold air could be due to several reasons such as a malfunctioning thermostat, an issue with the pilot light, or problems with the heating elements. It could also be as simple as the thermostat being set to “cool” instead of “heat.” Our expert technicians at Luxury Air A/C & Heating can diagnose and fix the issue quickly to restore warmth to your home.

Common signs that your heating system may need repair include unusual noises, uneven heating, frequent cycling on and off, and increased energy bills. If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to contact a professional HVAC company to inspect and repair your system promptly.

A furnace heats your home by burning fuel (like natural gas, oil, or propane) or using electricity to generate heat, which is then distributed through your home’s ductwork. A heat pump, on the other hand, transfers heat from outside air (or the ground) into your home, and can also work in reverse to cool your home in the summer. Heat pumps are generally more energy-efficient than furnaces in milder climates, but the best choice depends on your specific heating needs and local climate conditions. Our experts at Luxury Air A/C & Heating can help you determine which system is best for your home.

To reduce noise from your heating system, ensure that it is properly maintained and that all components are in good working order. Common sources of noise include loose components, issues with the blower motor, or problems with the ductwork. Adding insulation to ducts and using vibration isolation pads can also help. If the noise persists, it might be time for a professional inspection to identify and resolve the issue.

A burning smell when you first turn on your heating system is usually due to dust that has accumulated on the heating elements or in the ducts during the off-season. This smell should dissipate after a short period. However, if the smell persists or if you notice a strong, pungent odor, it could indicate a more serious issue such as an electrical problem or a malfunctioning component. It’s best to turn off the system and contact a professional HVAC technician to inspect it.

Strange noises such as banging, whistling, or grinding can indicate various issues with your heating system, including loose components, airflow problems, or a failing motor. It’s important to have these noises checked by a professional to prevent further damage to the system.
