Top 10 Signs You Need a Furnace Repair
When the temperatures start to get cooler in the evenings, it is wise for homeowners to give their home heating systems a little extra consideration. If you’re like a lot of homeowners, your furnace is part of an overall HVAC system, and you try to keep an eye on it and have a professional check it at least once every year. If your system is questionable, below we’ve listed the top 10 signs your furnace might need a repair:
Strange Noises
Although it’s normal for furnaces to make some noise, it is not normal for a furnace to be making loud or strange noises. The difference is usually noticeable. If you hear loud noises like metal screeching or grinding, whistling, slamming or pounding, you should definitely have it checked before it breaks down or causes bigger problems.
Turning up the Thermostat Doesn’t Work
When we get cold, our natural response is to try to heat up our space. Typically, all that involves is turning up the heat a few notches. But what happens when that doesn’t work? You could have a faulty thermostat, or you might have leaky air ducts. Another problem could be your pilot light. Whatever the case, you’ll want to give us a call right away!
Heating Costs Are Rising
A rise in heating costs usually indicates inefficient performance. A variety of issues could cause this. It is best to get a hold of a professional to diagnose the problem instead of trying to do so yourself.
A Yellow Pilot Light
If you notice the pilot light in your furnace is burning yellow, you might not be inclined to think much about it at first. However, this is a sign of trouble: A yellow flame indicates that the gas mixture in your furnace is not right. The correct color is blue, which means there’s an ideal balance of gases. A yellow pilot light can indicate problem gases like carbon monoxide.
Difficulty Starting And Staying On
If your furnace has trouble starting and staying on, it could be caused by several issues, including faulty wiring, a bad thermostat, a pilot light problem, or a bad fan motor. In any case, if your furnace is having difficulty starting and staying on, you’ll want us to troubleshoot the problem to make the right diagnosis and repair.
Breathing Issues & Allergy Symptoms
If you or your loved ones are experiencing an increase in breathing-related problems in the home like asthma, allergy symptoms, and other illness, it could be related to your furnace. A poorly-functioning system can compromise indoor air quality by putting dust, mold, and other irritants into the air circulating throughout your home.
Cold Chills Prevail In Parts Of The Home
If you are noticing cool drafting air in various parts of your home, it could mean your furnace isn’t adequately heating the entire house. If that’s the case, you could give us a call to discuss your options.
Condensation
Although you might not need furnace repair immediately after you start noticing condensation on the insides of your windows, it is still an indication that you should contact a professional to check your system.
Your Furnace Is Getting Old
The average lifespan of a typical furnace is somewhere between 10 and 20 years. Most units, if properly maintained throughout the years, last into the older end of that range. If your furnace is older than 15 years, like it or not, this is the best time to start giving replacement some consideration. Planning ahead will allow you to budget and make a more informed decision.
Repairs Become More Frequent
If you find you are scheduling repairs more frequently, (like more than once in the past two years) it might be wise to start to think about replacing it. Unfortunately, furnaces are similar to vehicles in that they tend to start breaking down more as they age.

Common Furnace Repair Questions & Answers
Why does my furnace constantly shut off?
Airflow issues are the most frequent cause of a home heating system turning off repeatedly. It’s usually an indication that your air filter needs to be changed. You’re in luck if that is the only reason for it. This is arguably the easiest and least expensive furnace repair that you can perform on your own.
Otherwise, be sure nothing—such as sunlight, a heat register, a heating appliance, or a fire—is interfering with the reading on your thermostat. When a poorly installed system is the cause of short cycling, it is the worst-case situation and the most costly to fix. This emphasizes how crucial it is to work with a professional furnace installation provider.
My furnace keeps running; why is that?
As mentioned above, the thermostat may be to blame for a heating system that runs nonstop.
Make sure the fan on your system is set to “auto” rather than “on” by checking your thermostat if your furnace is running constantly. The fan will operate constantly when the thermostat is set to the “on” position, even if the furnace isn’t heating the house.
The fan limit switch should be your next point of concern if that isn’t the issue. Your fan limit switch requires a manual override if this is the problem. If your home heating system is still running constantly after attempting these two solutions, give us a call so we can assist.
Why is the air coming out of my furnace cool?
Naturally, heating systems are designed to radiate heat. Thus, you know you’ll need to get it checked out if your home furnace is blowing cool air. We advise checking the fan settings for starters to make sure the setting isn’t set to “on” if your furnace is producing frigid air. The setting for the furnace fan should be “auto,” not “on.” In any event, ensure sure your system’s air filter doesn’t need to be changed if this isn’t the root of the issue. If the issue continues after adjusting the fan and air filter, you should inspect the pilot light on your gas furnace (if that’s the type you own).
