The Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair
- No heat production: If your furnace suddenly stops blowing warm air, that’s an obvious sign it’s in trouble. A lack of heat can mean anything from a thermostat issue to a larger internal mechanical failure.
- Unusual noises: If your furnace starts making sounds it never did before, such as squeaks, whines, or clicks, it’s worth paying attention. Small noises can quickly turn into bigger issues.
- Higher energy bills: A steady increase in your monthly energy costs with no change in your usage could point to an overworked furnace. Inefficiencies within the system, such as clogged filters or malfunctioning parts, can cause it to work harder than necessary.
- Frequent cycling: Is your furnace constantly turning on and off throughout the day? This frequent cycling could indicate problems like a faulty thermostat, improper airflow, or an overheating system.
- Uneven heating: If some rooms in your house feel warm while others remain chilly, your furnace might not be distributing air properly. This could signal issues like a failing blower motor or ductwork problem.
- Strange or burning smells: These could be minor, like dust burning off, but they might also point to more serious issues, like electrical problems or overheating components, which are serious emergencies.
- Yellow burner flame: A properly functioning furnace should have a steady blue flame. If you notice a yellow or flickering flame, it might indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide problem. Shut your furnace off and call us ASAP.
Tips for a Heating Repair Emergency
When your heating system breaks down, be sure to check the thermostat and power source. Sometimes, the issue is as simple as a thermostat setting or a tripped circuit breaker. Double-check your thermostat to ensure it’s set to “heat” and the temperature is high enough to activate the furnace.
If that’s not the problem, it’s important to call our office as quickly as possible. Then, take the following steps:
- Ensure your safety: If your heating system is producing unusual smells, sparks, or smoke, turn it off immediately. Make sure your carbon monoxide detectors are working properly, as furnace issues can sometimes lead to dangerous leaks.
- Bundle up and use temporary heat sources: Put on extra layers of clothing and grab blankets. If you have portable heaters, use them sparingly in occupied rooms, keeping them away from flammable materials.
- Seal off drafts: Close off unused rooms, shut doors, and place rolled towels at the base of exterior doors to block drafts. Cover your windows with heavy curtains or blankets to keep cold air from seeping in. These quick fixes can help maintain some interior warmth.
No one wants to deal with a heating failure, but knowing what to do can enhance your peace of mind. With these tips, you’ll be able to weather the initial challenges, as we work to get your heating back to normal.
