Warning Signs You Need Furnace Repair
Even if your furnace is still heating your home, it may be due for repairs. Identifying warning signs for furnace repair can protect you from a complete breakdown or a more substantial repair bill.
If you notice any of the following signs, your furnace may have a heating problem, and it may be time to call a professional for repairs.
The Furnace Is Not Producing Enough Heat
While the heating system runs, it may not produce enough heat to keep your home warm and comfortable. Several reasons could cause the problem, including a clogged air filter, a faulty thermostat, and major duct leaks.
An immediate inspection by an HVAC professional will determine the cause of the problem and fix it effectively.
Drastic Temperature Changes
A functional heating system should deliver consistent temperatures without instances of ‘cool’ and ‘warm’ spots. In other cases, your furnace may not heat at all. The furnace may be experiencing thermostat failure or defects. Poor insulation, a faulty blower motor, and poorly sealed windows and doors are additional causes of drastic temperature changes.
Unusual Noises
Your furnace can make unusual noises for various reasons. The common types of noises that should be a cause of concern include rattling, banging, whistling, strapping, popping, or squealing.
For instance, your furnace can produce a loud banging noise when it first turns on, caused by a gas explosion related to a delay in ignition. On the other hand, a buzzing noise could mean a part of the furnace is loose.
A High Heating Bill
As a homeowner, you expect to receive a higher heating bill during winter. However, if the bill is through the roof, it should be a cause of concern. Some reasons behind a high heating bill include a faulty thermostat, leaky ductwork, or an aging appliance. For instance, a leaking ductwork can waste heated energy before it heats the room.
No matter the problem, our technicians will establish the fault in your system and let you know before working on it. We’ll also give you a cost estimate to indicate what to expect at the end of your surface request.
Furnace Repair Costs: What to Expect When Your Heater Needs Work
Knowing what to expect can help you plan better when your heat starts acting up. The cost of furnace repair is not uniform and varies based on the cause of the problem and the type of furnace.
The bill could be a few hundred dollars if it’s a straightforward issue, like a blown fuse or replacing a faulty thermostat. However, the bill could increase if your furnace requires a major fix like replacing a heat exchanger or combustion chamber.
Further, the component’s location is a factor in determining the bill’s cost—if it is deep inside the appliance, it requires more labor hours, which translates to a higher cost. The important thing is that you always understand what you are paying for.
We offer competitive pricing and upfront repair estimates, so you know what to expect. We’ll evaluate the problem and provide you with a detailed estimate so there are no surprises in the furnace repair costs.
