Think Your Furnace Might Need Repaired? Your furnace probably isn’t something that you think of a lot, but you might want to start considering it more often. It is vital to keep up on the maintenance of your furnace. A furnace can last up to 15 years, but if you take the right precautions, you might help it to live longer. Here are a few tips to help you know when it’s time to call a furnace repair expert.

  • You haven’t checked on it in a while. A furnace, in fact your whole HVAC system, should get a yearly check up to make sure it is running at its best. When was the last time an expert took a look at your system?
  • Water? Do you have water pooling around your furnace? This is a serious sign that your furnace needs some help. A furnace has two substances in it that can leak; gas and water. If you see water pooling around your furnace, call an expert immediately.
  • Gas? Do you smell gas? As one of the two substances that can leak from your furnace, this is also a sign your furnace needs maintenance. Make sure to turn off your furnace IMMEDIATELY and call an expert to fix it.
  • Hearing loud noises? Does your furnace make weird noises? It is definitely time to call a repair man. They will be able to identify if you need a new furnace, or just some repair on your current furnace.
  • Weak air. Does it feel like your vents are blowing out air weakly? This can be a sign that your furnace needs repair. This can be a minor problem, or a large problem, so be prepared for what your technician might tell you.
  • Thermostat stops. Has your thermostat stopped working? Does it feel like you have to turn the heat higher and higher just to warm up your home? This may be a problem with your furnace. An expert technician will be able to help you identify the problem, saving you money on your heating bill.
  • Skyrocketing heating bills. If your heating bills are going up, don’t immediately blame your provider. It may be a problem with your HVAC system. Call an expert so that they can help identify the problem.
