Understanding How a Heater Works
Many local homes have a central heating and air conditioning system installed for the health and
comfort of the home’s residents. The heater works to heat air and force this heated air through ducts to maintain a
warm climate inside the home on cool days. If your home water heater is currently malfunctioning, is
struggling to maintain an ideal temperature in the home or has stopped working altogether, it may have crossed your
mind to attempt to make a repair on your home. The fact is that you do need to repair your heater quickly so that
your heater can continue to provide warmth to your home as needed. However, before you begin tinkering with your
heater, you should first understand how a heater works.
How a Heater Works
The heater is a cyclical device, and the heating cycle begins with the temperature setting on your thermostat. When
your thermostat determines that the temperature in the room has dropped below the temperature setting on the
thermostat, the heater turns on. An inducer fan works to suck air into the unit at a fast rate. A heat exchanger is
heated by a pilot light or burners, and a blower motor blows air across the heat exchanger to heat it. The heated
air is then propelled through the air ducts in your home, and the air enters your home. Once the home has been
ideally warmed, the thermostat sensor will note the increased room temperature and will turn the heater off.
What You Can Do
It is understandable that you would not want to call an HVAC professional to your home for repairs unless
necessary. There are a few troubleshooting steps that you can take before calling an HVAC professional. For
example, because the heating cycle begins and ends with the thermostat, you may first change the batteries in the
thermostat to determine if this will correct the issue. You can also inspect your heating unit and ensure that the
pilot light is still lit. These simple steps can sometimes rectify common issues residents have with their heating
unit. If the issue persists, however, you should call us for professional assistance. A heating unit is a highly
complex, combustible device, and this is not a device that you want to tinker with.
