Does your furnace need to be repaired? Find out with this checklist.

Knowing when your furnace needs repairs can be challenging, especially when you don’t know what you’re looking for in the first place. This often manifests into larger, more expensive repair costs that could have been avoided in the first place. Therefore, if you don’t know whether your furnace needs repairing, here are some telltale signs that could indicate there is something wrong with your homes heating system:

  • You are having problems sustaining a comfortable temperature throughout your home.
  • Weird noises such as rattling, clicking, humming, banging, and squealing are coming from your furnace when it is working.
  • You notice your furnace has poor airflow coming out of each vent.
  • Your furnace will not turn on at all or continuously turns on and off randomly.
  • The air in your home is extremely dry and dusty.
  • You or a family member may be experiencing unexplained health concerns such as flu-like symptoms and headaches that could indicate the presence of mold and mildew.
  • Your monthly energy bill has increased significantly in the past couple of months.
  • There is a strange odor coming from your furnace when it is on.
  • You have trouble keeping a stable temperature throughout your home, which leads you to constantly adjust your thermostat.
  • If you have a gas-powered furnace, you may notice that the pilot light color has changed from blue to yellow.
  • Your furnace is over 10 – 15 years old.
  • Your furnace blower motor is always working.

What kind of furnace repairs are the most common?

Like any other home appliance, several types of problems may arise throughout the years. However, the most common furnace repairs we service include:

  • Thermostats are not working correctly, which causes your furnace fan to work overtime.
  • Furnace filters are dirty and clogged, reducing the airflow throughout your ventilation system.
  • Discolored pilot lights from blue to yellow can indicate excessive carbon monoxide in your furnace if it runs on gas.
  • A cracked or damaged heat exchanger can diminish your furnace’s ability to perform safely.
  • Blower belt malfunctioning, which can prevent your furnace fan from working properly
  • Malfunctioning your limit switch can cause your furnace to blow air when it shouldn’t.
  • Your furnace isn’t blowing air at all, which can be caused by clogged filters or red light appearing on your furnace, which would indicate a different problem that will need to be diagnosed.
  • Ball bearings that are worn out can cause a scraping noise to occur when your furnace is operating.
  • A rattling noise could be caused by several problems that need to be addressed upon an inspection.

If you have noticed any of these common issues in your home, it may be time to call a professional HVAC company like Wardlaw Heating & Cooling to help you diagnose and repair the problem before it turns into something more serious.

How does a furnace Work?

Your home’s furnace comprises several different parts and mechanics that allow it to function when you need to heat your home. While this system is pretty complex, your furnace’s job is straightforward –to heat your home to a comfortable temperature regardless of what the weather is like outside. Typically, your furnace is either powered by electricity or natural gas. Nevertheless, your power source is meant to generate direct, controlled heat onto your furnace’s burner. The that is produced is then passed into a heat exchanger to make it hot and create air. This air is then pushed into your home’s ventilation system to distribute the warmth throughout each room to heat it accordingly.

How Often Should Furnace Be Serviced?

Generally speaking, homeowners should service their furnace at least once a year to ensure it is operating optimally. This will allow a professional furnace technician to diagnose any potential problems before they become significant. Additionally, scheduling maintenance for your furnace at least once a year will enable you to be proactive and lengthen your furnace’s lifespan, which is typically around 10 to 15 years. Lastly, serving your furnace can actually save you money in the long run by preventing costly repairs and by making sure you aren’t going over your energy bill every month.

"My experience with Wardlaw Heating and Cooling was beyond 5 stars (again). Their Comfort Advisor (Steve F.) was helpful and knowledgeable. Using his expertise the best product was purchased to fit my need. Steve continues to support my questions and that is what you call “service after the sale”. Their Installers (Norm N. and Kevin W.) did an awesome job installing the product and were very informative.
Thank you again Wardlaw!!"
