Signs Your Heating System Needs Attention
Your heater is essential for a safe and comfortable winter. If you notice any of the following issues, it may be time to call A.A. Richards for professional service:
Trouble Starting or Staying On If your furnace has difficulty turning on or shuts off too soon (short-cycling), it may indicate problems with the ignition system, control board, or thermostat. Our technicians will quickly identify the root cause and restore reliable performance.
Odd Smells or Burning Odors Strange smells coming from your vents or furnace can be a red flag. It might be dust buildup, a gas leak, or internal components overheating. Our team will inspect and address any safety hazards immediately.
Cold or Inconsistent Air If your system is blowing lukewarm or cool air, it could be due to restricted airflow, a faulty blower motor, or thermostat issues. We’ll get your heat back on track fast.

Constant Thermostat Adjustments If you're always fiddling with your thermostat to stay comfortable, your system might be inefficient or improperly calibrated. We'll recalibrate or repair your unit for consistent warmth.
Loud or Unusual Noises Banging, popping, clicking, or whistling sounds are signs of mechanical wear or airflow issues. Ignoring these noises can lead to more serious (and expensive) problems later on.
Discolored Pilot Light Your pilot light should burn a steady blue. A yellow or flickering flame may suggest poor combustion or venting issues. We’ll investigate and repair any burner or gas concerns safely.
Higher Energy Bills A sudden spike in your energy costs could mean your system is working harder than it should. Let us perform a diagnostic and tune-up to boost efficiency and lower monthly expenses.
Poor Air Quality Dirty filters or malfunctioning ductwork can spread dust and allergens throughout your home. If your air feels stale or you're noticing more sneezing or dry air, we can help improve both comfort and health.
Carbon Monoxide Concerns Malfunctioning heating systems can sometimes fail to vent carbon monoxide properly. If you suspect an issue, we’ll inspect and ensure your system is operating safely.
