There are no surprises nor are there\nany major spikes in the bill. <\/li><li><strong>Everything Is Business As Usual: <\/strong>Homeowners\naren\u2019t always aware of this, but honestly speaking, anything that\u2019s new or a surprise\ncoming from your heater is a bad sign. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Could Use a Little Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your heater is showing some concerning operation signs if\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Odd Run Times: <\/strong>You\u2019re starting to notice that sometimes your heater runs on a really short cycle.
