Signs You Need to Service Your Heating System
Here are some common reasons why you might require heating service:
Strange Odors
While it's normal for your furnace to emit a slight odor when firing up for the first time in winter, persistent musty or burning smells could signal a serious issue. These strange odors may indicate mold, electrical issues, or burnt-out components, and it's best to call a professional as soon as possible.
Inconsistent or Inefficient Heating
If your home isn't getting warm enough, or you're experiencing cold air blowing from vents, it's a problematic sign. A sudden spike in your energy bill without a change in usage is also a sign that something's wrong.
Unusual Noises
While some noise is normal, clanging, hissing, clicking, or screeching sounds are not. These noises could be signs of loose components, a malfunctioning blower, or even issues with your heat exchanger.
Pilot Light Issues
If you have a gas furnace, a pilot light that burns yellow or flickers indicates incomplete combustion, which could point to a problem with gas flow or pose a carbon monoxide risk. Your pilot light should burn blue. Anything else warrants immediate attention.

Steps You Can Take for Heating Service Remedies
When we have unseasonably cold weather, it can sometimes take a little while for your HVAC system to reach your desired temperature, or in extreme cold, to keep up. In these cases, it may be necessary to include additional heating sources, like a fireplace or space heater. However, we also recommend customers check these three things:
Air Filter
Check it monthly and change it as needed. Clogged filters cause all kinds of problems, some of which are easily remedied with a filter change.
Thermostat
Double-check the settings are correct.
Compressor
If you have a heat pump, check the outdoor condenser unit. Sometimes, plants grow too close and obstruct airflow. After a storm, check your outdoor condenser unit and clear away any leaves, twigs, or other yard waste. If you see debris inside it or a blade appears bent, call us.
Maintenance Membership Plans & Financing
Staying warm during the winter season doesn't have to be expensive. We offer comfort plans for your home that are affordable and budget-friendly.
Maintenance Membership Plans
We pioneered the concept of the HVAC Maintenance Membership in the early foundation of our company, and it's been a big part of who we are ever since. That's because regular maintenance saves you time and money, plus keeps you worry-free about your equipment all year long, as it helps it run more efficiently and cost less to operate.
In addition, professional maintenance keeps warranties valid and prevents more costly heating repairs. Neglect of any device is a recipe for problems, including breakdowns.
Become a Maintenance Member today. We can customize one for you to include plumbing and electrical services too.
Financing
There are many benefits to heating unit finance options. Whether you'd like to improve your home's air quality and comfort or you're faced with a broken furnace on Christmas Day, we've got you covered. The advantages include the ability to spread out payments and the immediate energy savings from a more efficient heating system. Besides, it's more than comfort, it's also your health and safety.
Heating System Tune-up
Before every heating season, we recommend a heating tune-up. Our HVAC technicians will perform a complete inspection. They clean the components and test any switches and controls. This thorough process notes any irregularities so they can be addressed quickly before they grow into big problems.
Common Indoor Air Quality Problems During Heating Season
Did you know we spend about 90 percent of our time indoors? In fact, according to the EPA, the air we breathe indoors is often two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. You may not realize it, but your heating and cooling system plays a big part in the air you breathe. It circulates and conditions the air in your home.
Therefore, if there are airborne pollutants, they'll be swept along and travel throughout your home. Common indoor air contaminants include pollen, viruses and bacteria, dander, dust, dust mites, and dirt. To improve your indoor air quality, we recommend:
Routine air filter changes
HVAC filters play a crucial role in improving indoor air quality by trapping airborne contaminants and preventing them from circulating in the air you breathe at home. Routine air filter changeouts ensure your unit runs efficiently.
With our Maintenance Membership, you won't have to worry about filter replacements—our team will handle the change-outs for you, ensuring your home stays fresh and your HVAC system operates at peak performance.
Regular heating service
Routine inspections of your heating system are essential for maintaining your comfort, health, and safety. By catching issues early, you can avoid costly repairs and ensure your system runs efficiently.
Additionally, inspections help identify potential safety hazards like carbon monoxide leaks, giving you peace of mind. A well-maintained heating system not only keeps your home comfortable but also prolongs the lifespan of your equipment.
Air quality products
We install humidifiers, dehumidifiers, media air cleaners, and UV air purifiers. According to asthma and allergy groups, the number of Americans affected by respiratory illness continues to grow.
Indoor air pollutants often aggravate symptoms. The elderly, infants, and children, as well as people with certain cardiac conditions and suppressed immune systems, are also vulnerable to these triggers.
Typical HVAC Warranty Coverage
Warranty coverage varies by manufacturer and by model. One of the reasons we partnered with Carrier so many years ago was because of the quality of their products. We stand behind the equipment we represent and it's easy to be confident with Carrier in your corner!
In general, furnaces and heat pumps have two main warranty coverages. For a gas furnace, it's the heat exchanger. For a heat pump, it is for the compressor, often the two most expensive components to replace.
Most warranties are written plainly and are easy to understand. Requirements are fairly basic. Most of the time it includes timely registration after the professional installation date and regular upkeep.
Neglect of your equipment may void your warranty, so take advantage of our maintenance membership plan to reduce your risk. For specific details, refer to the manufacturer information and talk to your Estes Services professional. We love talking about heating and air, so don't be shy!
