Common Causes of Heating Problems
From simple wear and tear to more complex issues, many different problems can affect your heating system.
Here are some common heating issues for the systems we service:
- Gas and electric furnaces: Broken blowers and damaged or dirty flame sensors can easily cause a furnace breakdown.
- Ductless mini-splits: Frozen coils or a malfunctioning defrost cycle can leave you without heat from your mini-split.
- Heat pumps: Low refrigerant or a malfunctioning reversing valve are serious heat pump issues.
- Boilers: Frozen condensate pipes and boiler kettling shouldn’t be ignored
- Dual-fuel heating systems: Incorrect thermostat settings can cause the system to be less effective.
- Geothermal systems: Blocked loop systems can reduce heat transfer.
- Gas fireplaces: Dust and debris can obstruct the burners, affecting performance.
Sometimes, especially with older units, repair might not be the most cost-effective option. UAT can help you decide if heating replacement is a better long-term solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my furnace making a weird sound?
There are several reasons why your furnace could be making odd noises. If you hear a whistling sound, it could be a clogged filter.
A banging noise often comes from a delayed ignition in the furnace. If you hear a screeching noise, it’s a sign there is a problem with the blower motor or belt.
Why is my furnace giving off a weird smell?
While you may notice a smell when your furnace initially turns on, it should run without making a constant odor. A musty smell often comes from a dirty or clogged filter.
If you notice a rotten egg smell, this is a serious issue, as it could mean a gas leak. An electrical or metallic smell can indicate overheated parts or potential wiring issues.
How can I troubleshoot my heating system?
- Check if the thermostat is set to heat with the fan on auto. Also, ensure the right temperature setting, ideally between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Ensure that your heating system’s circuit breaker hasn’t flipped. If it has, reset the breaker to the on position.
- Check your air filters to see if they’re clogged. Replace them if needed to ensure proper airflow.
- Examine the system for any visible damage or loose parts.
If your heating issues persist, call an HVAC technician for help.
Can a cracked heat exchanger be repaired?
No, a cracked heat exchanger will have to be replaced. The crack can allow gases to seep into the home’s air supply, which is a potentially deadly hazard.
