Your goal should be to have the bark-aliflor dry out most of the way, but not completely.
All of your pictures of the roots seem fine for now. When you re-pot, I would not cut or trim anything that is firm to the touch.
You mention that this plant is right above your heater. That may be too dry an environment; might explain the somewhat curled leaves (unless the plant came that way). If you have other house plants, keep your orchid grouped with your houseplants, that will improve the humidity.
Good luck!

About the leaves... In fact, that was my other concern. The other orchids that are standing besides have perfectly looking thick strong leaves, only this one came with those squishy, curled leaves.. Any idea?
