Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair
For the most part, when your furnace is in trouble it will give off some kind of warning signals to indicate it needs repair. Many homeowners either ignore or do not realize what those signals are until it is too late, and they are faced with emergency repair calls. Here are some of the most common warning signs that your furnace needs repair:
- Insufficient Heat - If there is insufficient heat coming from your vents or you notice cold spots throughout the house, you could have an issue with clogged filters. As there are other problems that could be associated with it, you should call a professional for help.
- No Heat -The more obvious sign is if there is no heat altogether. A furnace can shut down on itself when there is a safety issue at play. If you have no heat, and the system will not turn on, call for help asap.
- Banging - Any strange or unusual sounds coming from your furnace is a cause for alarm. This also goes for more frequent cycling.
- Increased Energy Bills - If you notice a spike in your energy costs, it could be due to your furnace struggling to heat your home.
- Soot and Dust - An excess of dust throughout the house, noticeable soot around the vents, and overall poor air quality are all signs that either your filters are clogged or there is an issue with the blower.
