It\u2019s a combination of banging, booming, rattling, and more. Your heater should make much noise. The sounds you\u2019re hearing are signs of trouble.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inconsistent Temperatures<\/strong>: Your bedroom heats right up, but your kitchen and your living room stay as cold as ice. They\u2019re clearly not on the same page. In fact, sometimes it seems as though the rooms within your home aren\u2019t even connected. This is a sign of significant heating issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3 Point Problems<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Insufficient Comfort<\/strong>: You\u2019re not warm enough. You supplement your heat with space heaters, blankets, sweaters, and fuzzy socks. This has become your normal. When you take a step back from it all, you start to realize that your home isn\u2019t as comfortable as it should be. We\u2019re here to help you out with this.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High Energy Bills<\/strong>: Your energy bills are through the roof although you heat your home reasonably.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5 Point Problems<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Frequent Repair<\/strong>: You repair your home\u2019s heater on a routine basis. You can always expect a problem to pop up during fall and winter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Old Age<\/strong>: If your heater is within the 10-15 year age range, then it\u2019s definitely time for you to start thinking about your next move. Heaters are only meant to last around a decade.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The Point Breakdown<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s breakdown what your total means:<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 Points and Below<\/strong>: You\u2019re struggling with your heater, but your problems could likely be fixed with repair on your heater and ductwork.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 to 5 Points<\/strong>: This is the grey area. You\u2019re facing more than one problem, but it\u2019s likely the combination of a mid-tier and lower-tier problem. It\u2019s likely that you can handle your issue with repair work, but we\u2019d suggest that you speak with a professional so that they can get you the most accurate information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 to 10 Points<\/strong>: You need a new heater.
