At Comfort Solutions HVAC, we understand that furnace issues can cause discomfort in your home, especially during the colder months. Here are some common FAQs about furnace repair to help you recognize when it’s time to call for service.
What are the signs my furnace needs repair?
Your furnace might not always stop working completely, but there are several signs that indicate a repair is needed. Look out for the following:
- Strange noises – If you hear banging, screeching, or rattling, it could mean parts are loose or worn.
- Inconsistent heating – Uneven temperatures or frequent cycling on and off may point to an issue with the thermostat or airflow.
- Increased energy bills – A sudden rise in your energy costs could mean your furnace is working harder than it should.
- Yellow pilot light – A healthy pilot light should burn blue; a yellow flame may signal a problem with combustion.
- Unpleasant odors – Burning smells or gas odors should be addressed immediately to ensure safety.
When should I call for furnace repair?
If you notice any of the signs above or experience any other unusual furnace behavior, it’s best to schedule a repair with Comfort Solutions HVAC right away. Timely repairs can prevent more significant damage and ensure your home remains comfortable.
