Furnace Needs Attention Now
5 Critical Warning Signs Your Furnace Needs Attention Now
A heating system on the brink of failure often gives off signals before it completely breaks down. Pay close attention to these common signs that it's time to call a licensed HVAC professional for furnace maintenance:
Unusual Noises: Is your furnace rattling, booming, scraping, or squealing? These sounds could indicate a loose part, a failing motor, or a cracked heat exchanger. Ignoring them can lead to a complete system breakdown.
Skyrocketing Energy Bills: If you notice a sudden, unexplained spike in your gas or electric bill, your furnace is likely working harder than it should be. A preventative tune-up restores efficiency and lowers your energy costs.
Uneven Heating or Cold Spots: If some rooms are toasty while others remain chilly, it's a sign that your system is not distributing heat effectively. This could point to ductwork issues or a system that’s wearing out.
Frequent Cycling: Is your furnace turning on and off more often than usual (short cycling)? This can cause excessive wear and tear, leading to an early breakdown or the need for a full new furnace installation.
Pilot Light Color (Gas Furnaces): A healthy pilot light should burn a bright, steady blue. If you see a flickering yellow or orange flame, it could indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide issue. If this is the case, turn your system off immediately and call for emergency service.
