How to Tell If Your Heater Needs Repairs
In the middle of winter, the last thing you want is for your heating unit to stop working. While a complete lack of power or warm air are sure signs that something is wrong, there are also subtler signs that can clue you in. It's important that you call us as soon as you notice them, because the sooner our experienced Baton Rouge heating repair technicians are able to inspect your unit and determine the cause of the problem, the quicker we will be able to perform the repairs. Additionally, left to linger, an issue can put more strain on your unit and it may be the difference between needing a repair and a replacement.
Common Indicators Your Heater May Require Repairs:
- Raised energy bills: It's important that you carefully examine your energy bills. In addition to telling you how much you owe each month, they can also help clue you in to how well your unit is operating. If you've seen an unexpected rise in energy costs, it could mean that your unit is working less efficiently and needs to be repaired.
- Odd noises: It's normal for your heating system to make soft noises as it operates. However, any noticeable clanging, banging, rumbling, groaning, or screeching are clear signs that your unit is struggling.
- Short cycling: Heating units power on when the temperature reaches below the level set on the thermostat. However, sometimes an issue can cause your unit to cycle on and off rather erratically. If you're noticing frequent cycles of continuous or random cycling, give us a call.
- Uneven heating: The goal of a central heating system is for your home to be relatively evenly heated throughout. If there are noticeable cold spots, chances are something is wrong with your unit.
- Unusual smells: While it's normal for your heating unit to give off a scent after starting up for the first time in a while, it shouldn't last for hours. If your unit emits foul scents even after repeated or frequent use, it's likely the result of a problem.

Addressing Clicking Noises in Your Baton Rouge Heater
Have you noticed an odd clicking noise coming from your heater? These clicking noises are typically caused by a problem within the ignition system of the heater. The ignition system creates combustion, which generates the heat within a furnace.
When the furnace can't ignite, people may hear the clicking noise. The reason a furnace wouldn't ignite could be a dirty burner, broken pilot light, broken flame sensor, or lack of gas. Ignition issues not only affect the heater's performance but can also pose safety risks if left unresolved. Regular checks and timely maintenance by our professional team can prevent such problems from worsening, ensuring your safety while maintaining optimal heater performance.
If you hear a clicking noise from your heater, contact the Baton Rouge furnace repair team at Bitter Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. to get the issue resolved quickly.

Anniston and Bitters installed my HVAC during the construction of my townhome community. The unit installed was the proper size for my home. Today was my semi annual cleaning and maintenance check. A very skilled and personable maintenance technician named Trey completed the work. Trey was very mindful of my dogs and cleaned up after himself. He explained everything he was going to do and recommended the new 6-month filter. He commented that he utilize the filter in his home so I signed up for Anniston Bitters semi annual maintenance program, and they change the filter out at the same time. So to sum it all up, great service excellent maintenance by Trey ,semi annual maintenance service and you never have to touch your air conditioner filter again! Thank you Anniston Bitters and Trey for giving me one less thing to think about.- Renee
