Furnace FAQs

What Are the Signs My Furnace Is Broken?

There are several indicators that your furnace may require professional attention. One of the main signs is unusual noises coming from the unit, such as banging or rattling sounds. These noises often indicate loose or damaged components within the furnace. Another sign is inconsistent heating; if some rooms are too hot while others remain cold, it may be a sign that your system needs adjustment or repair. A sudden spike in energy bills without a known cause can also show that your furnace is not operating efficiently and should be inspected by a qualified technician.

How Often Should I Have My Furnace Inspected?

For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to have your furnace inspected at least once a year, preferably before the onset of the cooler months. A regular inspection ensures that any potential issues are identified and resolved before they lead to more significant problems. Annual maintenance can also increase the lifespan of your furnace and help it run more efficiently, saving you money on energy bills in the long run.

Having a routine check-up allows you to catch small problems before they develop into costly repairs or replacements. An inspection includes cleaning the system, checking for leaks, and ensuring all components are working harmoniously together. This proactive approach not only ensures a warm home during the colder months but also contributes to the longevity of your heating system.

Can I Perform Furnace Maintenance Myself?

While there are basic tasks you can perform to maintain your furnace, such as changing the air filter and keeping vents clear of obstructions, it is advisable to have a professional handle more complex maintenance tasks. Professional technicians have the tools required to thoroughly inspect, clean, and tune-up your furnace, ensuring it operates safely and efficiently. Attempting more complicated repairs yourself can lead to safety hazards or damage to the system.

It’s also worth noting that professional maintenance can identify potential hazards like carbon monoxide leaks, which are invisible but dangerous. 

What Are the Benefits of a New Furnace Installation?

Investing in a new furnace can offer several advantages, particularly if your current system is outdated or inefficient. Modern furnaces are designed to be more energy-efficient, which can lead to substantial savings on your monthly utility bills.
