If you\u2019re experiencing any of the problems listed below, it\u2019s imperative that you call a professional HVAC technician for assistance.<\/p>\n<h3>Low Airflow<\/h3>\n<p>If the airflow from your vents has deteriorated from a strong flow of air to a mere trickle, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019re suffering from a low airflow issue. The origin of this issue could either be a problem with your fan or with your air ducts themselves. If it\u2019s a problem with the fan, low airflow is a symptom of the fan\u2019s malfunction. If it\u2019s a problem with the air ducts it\u2019s likely due to an excess amount of dirt and debris in your system. Both of these problems are easily resolved in a quick appointment with an HVAC professional.<\/p>\n<h3>Odd Noises<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve turned on your heater and noticed odd noises like clanking, rattling, or grating, you need heater repairs. Depending on the type of noise your system is emitting, the problem could indicate anything ranging from your compressor malfunctioning to the wiring in your thermostat faltering. The only way to be 100% sure of the problem you have is to have a professional assess your system. Once you\u2019ve had a trained eye look at your system you can take the necessary steps to move forward.<\/p>\n<h3>Bad Indoor Air Quality<\/h3>\n<p>If you keep your home clean and routinely change your air filter but notice that there\u2019s always dust, it\u2019s a sign that something is out of line. A furnace that isn\u2019t performing well circulates mildew, dust, and other airborne pollutants instead of filtering them out.<\/p>\n<h3>Uneven Heating<\/h3>\n<p>If your heater seems to work well in certain areas of your home but seems to barely heat others, it\u2019s a sign that you need to repair your heater. Uneven heating and cooling are dependent upon more than just the location of your home, the stories, and where the sun hits, uneven heating can be a side effect of ductwork issues. It\u2019s worthwhile to have a professional come out and take a look at your system so you won\u2019t have some areas of your home boiling while others remain drafty this winter.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you\u2019re looking for reliable heater repairs here in Eugene, <a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact us to schedule an appointment<\/a>.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had a hot summer here in Eugene but now that it\u2019s fall it\u2019s important to look forward to the future and be proactive about your heater maintenance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[89,94],"class_list":["post-1640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating-service","tag-eugene","tag-heating-maintenance"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comfortflow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comfortflow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comfortflow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comfortflow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comfortflow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1640"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.comfortflow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1640\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1642,"href":"https:\/\/www.comfortflow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1640\/revisions\/1642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comfortflow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comfortflow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comfortflow.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
