Heating systems put in a lot of work here through the winters, and we’re about to get into the most intense period of using our heating systems to make it through the winter. (You did remember to have maintenance, right? It’s easy with our one of our Preventative Maintenance Comfort Plans.)
But not all apparent heating system problems stem from inside the actual heater components, or even from the thermostats. The heating system is only one part of the entire HVAC system, which includes the ventilation ducts. Issues with those ducts may be the source of difficulties you may encounter with the heater during the winter. Some of these troubles include:
- The compressor of a heat pump turning on and off rapidly (short-cycling)
- Hot spots in rooms due to low airflow or insufficiently cool air from the vents
- A steep rise in utility bills that’s out of the ordinary for when you usually run the heating system.
