Reasons for Furnace Repair

If your furnace requires professional repair, there’s a good chance you’ll notice signs of trouble before things get too far out of hand. It may begin as a mild banging or knocking sound, you might detect a strange odor or the heat distribution might be inconsistent. Sometimes, an inefficient furnace will cause your bills to creep up, which is another telltale sign. If you notice any signs like this, it’s a good idea to contact a heating expert to make the repairs you need.

Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair

When it gets cold, you’ll likely be firing up your heating system for the first time in about half a year. Because it’s been off for so long, it’s important to pay close attention to how it acts. Your unit may become damaged without you realizing it, so watch out for signs that it needs repair.

Here are a few signs that your furnace needs to be inspected and serviced by an HVAC professional.

High Utility Bills

If you notice a sudden spike in your power bill during the cooler seasons, there could be an issue that needs to be addressed by an HVAC technician. Rising power bills are a sign that your furnace is working harder than usual to keep your home warm and is likely in need of routine maintenance or repair.

Abnormal Furnace Smells or Noises

The chances are your furnace will smell like the fuel it uses or sometimes gets a bit noisy, especially when you turn it on for the first time in a year. Most smells and noises will dissipate as the unit runs. However, if the smell persists after several uses and the noise doesn’t seem to be toning down, you may have an underlying problem.

Difficulty Starting the Unit

Over time, your furnace may prove more difficult to turn on and keep running. If you have to start the unit multiple times or restart it throughout the day, your unit likely needs a repair. These issues often stem from a damaged thermostat or disconnected wiring. Replacing the damaged part should resolve the issue.

Homeowner Tips for Keeping Your Furnace Running Well

One of the most important things you, as a homeowner can do to protect your furnace and keep it running smoothly is to notify your heating specialist when something doesn’t look right, and remember to schedule repair and maintenance appointments when you need them. Another helpful tip is to change your furnace filter every three months, or call in a professional to do it for you. A clean filter goes a long way toward helping your heating system run efficiently and keep your family warm.
