It means the heater is turning itself off too early, before it finishes a full heating cycle. This is a symptom, not a description of an actual malfunction: there are many different malfunctions that cause short-cycling, and all of them need repairs. The stress of short-cycling itself will wear down the system and lead to other malfunctions.<\/p>\n<h2>Cold spots in rooms<\/h2>\n<p>The next time you have your heater running, tour all the rooms in the house to see if warmth is being evenly distributed. Are some rooms colder than they should be? (Make sure windows are closed and any room vents are unblocked first.) This could mean a variety of issues, such as a failed baseboard heater, broken heating elements, air handler trouble, leaks in the vents\u2026 it depends on what type of heating system you use. But something is wrong that need investigating.<\/p>\n<h2>Your first month of heating bills is abnormally high<\/h2>\n<p>When you received your last utility bills, the first ones when your heater was running, did they seem much higher than average?

Large power drains may indicate a heating system malfunctioning and drawing more power than necessary.<\/p>\n<h2>Odd noises<\/h2>\n<p>If the sounds from your heating system don\u2019t sound normal, or it\u2019s just running louder than usual, that\u2019s an early sign something in it needs to be fixed.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, when in doubt give us a call!
