What indicates that a heating system is running efficiently and safely?
The telltale signs of an improperly functioning heating system include varying temperatures from room to room, the house feels too hot or too cold, and the heating unit cycles on and off excessively. In addition, homes with forced air heating systems use a duct system to distribute air. Most ducts, whether old or new, have cracks, gaps and holes that waste about 25% of the treated air. In addition, its important to have fuel-burning equipment like fireplaces, water heaters, dryers, and furnaces checked for proper venting to avoid harmful gases, including carbon monoxide, from entering your home.
