Not sure if your furnace needs repair? Here are some common signs to watch for:
Frequent Cycling: If your furnace is turning on and off more frequently than usual, it could indicate a problem with the thermostat, the ignition system, or the heat exchanger.
Increased Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your heating bills can mean your furnace is working harder than it should to maintain temperature, which could point to a need for repair.
Strange Noises: Unusual sounds such as banging, rattling, or squealing often signal an issue with the blower motor, fan, or internal components.
Uneven Heating: If certain rooms are colder than others, it may indicate issues with the ductwork or furnace system. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to call a professional to inspect and repair your furnace before the problem worsens.
Regular maintenance is the key to prolonging the life of your furnace and ensuring it operates efficiently for years to come. Here are some essential tips:
Schedule Annual Maintenance: Have a professional technician inspect your furnace at least once a year. This helps catch small issues before they become big problems.
Replace the Air Filter: Clogged filters restrict airflow, making your furnace work harder. Change your furnace filter every 1-3 months.
Keep Vents Unblocked: Make sure your air vents are free of obstructions to ensure proper airflow throughout your home.
Check for Leaks: Sealing leaks in the ductwork can prevent heat loss and improve efficiency.
Keep the Area Around the Furnace Clean: Dust and debris can interfere with your furnace’s performance. Keep the area around your furnace clean and clear. By following these simple tips, you can extend the life of your furnace and keep your home comfortable year-round.
