Signs You Need Furnace Repair

When the winter time hits in Illinois, it's important that you have a properly working furnace to get you through the cold. The last thing that you want to happen is for your furnace to not work when you turn it on for the first time. Fortunately, there are signs you can watch out for that indicate it's time for repairs.

Some of the common signs your furnace needs repairs include:

• Increased energy bills: When something is wrong with your furnace, it will usually have to work harder to meet the temperature you desire. When it works harder, it will use more energy, causing your bills to skyrocket.
• Not enough heat: Has your furnace stopped generating hot air? First, check your thermostat. If it's set correctly, then the reason for the lack of heat could be due to a clogged filter, a clogged burner, a faulty motor, or a broken thermostat.
• Frequent cycling: Your furnace will cycle on when the temperature dips below the one set on your thermostat. If you notice that your furnace is cycling on and off frequently, you need to call us in for repairs. It could be due to a clogged filter, broken thermostat, or improper air circulation. Additionally, units that are too large or too small for your heating needs will frequently cycle on and off. That's why it's important to invest in professional installation.
• Odd noises: It's normal for your furnace to make slight noises as it operates, but if you notice that it's making loud banging, humming, clanking, or groaning noises, it's in need of repairs.
• Bad smells: It's normal for you to smell burning or musk when you first start your furnace up after not using it during the summer. But if you continue to smell these, give us a call.
• Uneven heating: Does one room in your home feel icy cold despite the furnace running? If your furnace isn't producing even heating throughout your home, it is in need of repair.
