Why Is the Heat Not Working in My House or Commercial Building?

There are several reasons why the heat might not be working in your house or commercial building. Each possible cause stems from different components of the heating system or equipment used to manage it.

Your home or commercial building’s heating system may not be working because of:

• Thermostat issues. The thermostat acts as the brain of your heating system, instructing it when to turn on and off based on the temperature settings you've chosen. If your heat is not working, the first thing to check is whether the thermostat is set to "heat" and if the desired temperature setting is higher than the current room temperature. A malfunctioning thermostat, dead batteries, or incorrect settings can prevent the heating system from activating.
• Furnace or boiler problems. The furnace or boiler is the heart of many heating systems. They generate hot air or hot water that is then distributed throughout the building. Issues such as a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, or a malfunctioning pilot light can prevent the furnace or boiler from operating properly.
• Ductwork and ventilation complications. In forced-air systems, ducts distribute heated air throughout the building. Any leaks, blockages, or poor insulation in the ductwork can significantly reduce heating efficiency. Blocked vents can also cause uneven heating, leaving some rooms colder than others. 
• Insufficient maintenance. A common cause of heating system failure is neglecting regular maintenance. Maintenance tasks can include cleaning or replacing filters, inspecting electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, and checking system controls.

Does My Heating System Need to Be Repaired or Replaced?

Heating systems don’t last forever, even if they receive consistent care. There will come a time when you need to evaluate whether it makes more sense to replace aging heating equipment rather than continue to invest in repairs. Fortunately, you do not have to make this important decision alone. We can help you assess the several factors that come into play when considering the need for a heating system replacement.

• Many heating systems have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years, depending on the model, installation quality, and maintenance history. If your system is approaching or has surpassed its expected operational life, it may be more prone to frequent breakdowns and decreased efficiency. Older systems often use outdated technology that can't compete with the performance of newer models. Upgrading to a modern heating system could significantly reduce your energy bills and provide more consistent heat distribution throughout your space.
• You should consider the frequency and cost of repairs. If you find yourself repeatedly calling for repairs each heating season, tally up the associated costs. When these begin to approach 50% of the cost of a new system, it may be financially smarter to invest in a replacement. Frequent repairs are not only costly but are also indicative of a system that's on its last legs.
• You should also take into account your system's overall performance and efficiency. Again, if you've noticed a significant spike in your energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage rates, this could indicate that your heating system is working harder – and less efficiently – to provide the same level of warmth. Newer heating systems tend to have higher efficiency ratings. This means they use less energy to heat your home, which can translate into savings on your utility bills. Also, consider the comfort level of your home. Uneven heating, persistent cold spots, or the system's inability to maintain the set temperature can all suggest that your heating system may no longer be capable of effectively doing its job.

Our Nebraska heating repair experts can also provide professional assistance with replacements. If you are not sure whether it makes sense to invest in replacement equipment, our technicians can offer honest, transparent advice on what makes the most sense for your situation.
