You\u2019ve done it\u2013your home finally has that shiny new extension. Whether it\u2019s the man-cave of your dreams or an in-law suite that you only kind of wanted to build in the first place, it could be the reason that your heater suddenly broke down on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve handled a lot of heating system repair in Ashland<\/a> over the years, and it\u2019s not uncommon for this to happen when you add living space to your home. Let\u2019s talk about why this is happening and how to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your Heater Was Fitted for Your Living Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During new heater installation, there\u2019s a step called the pre-installation appointment. This is when HVAC technicians come out to your home and determine what your heating needs are, and they match a heater to your home\u2019s living space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can vary a bit, but a heater will be fitted to match the approximate living space. That\u2019s because a heater that\u2019s too small doesn\u2019t do enough, and a heater that\u2019s too big wastes energy. Because that heater was fitted for your specific living space, it\u2019s now struggling to keep up with the demands of heating the new total living space in your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Upgrade May Be in Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve added a considerable amount of space to your home, your heater is definitely struggling to keep up with your home\u2019s heating demands. However, adding a small mudroom? That might not be enough of an impact to make your heating system falter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel that your heater just isn\u2019t holding up the way that it used to, it\u2019s worth making the call and having us inspect it for you to find out what the exact problem is. It could be that while it\u2019s not the right size for your new space, it\u2019s an older heater and that\u2019s why it can\u2019t meet the demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Thermostat May Need to Be Moved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your home is expanded upon, the thermostat\u2019s placement is no longer optimal. That\u2019s because the thermostat was initially placed where it was to gauge the best even temperature of your home. Your thermostat just sends an \u201cON\u201d or an \u201cOFF\u201d signal to the heater, and it bases that signal based on the room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that new extension? It\u2019s all the way on the other side of the house, so when your thermostat is trying to gauge the correct temperature across your home, it\u2019s not accounting for that new space. It\u2019s all circumstantial and depends on the size and location of the extension, but it\u2019s important to keep in mind\u2013that might be why your heater isn\u2019t up to par at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
