Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair

Prompt furnace repair is vital for protecting your system against additional damage. Without immediate attention, a damaged component can cause other parts to fail. An unrepaired furnace is a potential fire hazard and can expose everyone in the home to toxic gas inhalation. We never recommend letting problems “wait ’til morning” to be repaired.
We recommend scheduling a service appointment without delay if you notice any of the following signs:

• Furnace not producing enough heat: If your furnace is on and is not giving out enough heat, most likely, it has clogged or has a dirty air filter. However, it could also be a sign of a ductwork leak or thermostat failure.
• Strong gas odor coming from furnace: If you smell gas, turn off your furnace and call Harris Plumbing, Heating, Air, & Electric right away. This may be a sign of a gas leak, which is a very dangerous situation.
• Electric ignition or pilot light issue: Electronic ignition or pilot light issues can make your furnace not turn on. When the weather becomes colder, a flickering pilot light makes your furnace system work extra hard, causing unnecessary wear and tear and skyrocketing energy bills.
• Short-cycling: If your furnace keeps restarting, you can have an improperly sized furnace, the thermostat may be malfunctioning, or a faulty fan limit switch.
• Strange noises: Rattling, squeaking, thumping, hissing, and other unusual noises coming from your furnace can mean a variety of problems. If you’re constantly hearing a weird noise coming from your furnace, it’s time to call an expert to diagnose your problem.
• Inconsistent heating: Leaks within the ductwork, faulty electrical systems, and dirty air filters are a few common culprits of uneven heating in homes. Because of the many potential causes, hire a certified HVAC technician to inspect, diagnose, and repair your furnace.
