Common Furnace Problems
Problems are caused by not having your system inspected or tuned up at least once a year.
Clogged filters due to not replacing them regularly - about every three months. This can lead to dust, dirt, and debris accumulating in your system. This buildup can cause the unit to overwork and can lower the indoor air quality in your home.
Wear and tear caused by aging. This can require more frequent repairs.
The temperature in your home doesn’t match the setting on the thermostat.
Disrupted air flow, which can cause your unit to overheat.
A very serious problem like a carbon monoxide leak. If you suspect you have a leak it’s important to evacuate the property as soon as possible as it can cause illness or even death.
Heating Services FAQs
A heat pump is an energy-efficient system that can heat and cool your home. It works by transferring heat from one place to another. During the winter, it pulls heat from the outside air (even when it’s cold) and distributes it indoors. It reverses the process in the summer, removing heat from your home to keep it cool. Explore the benefits of a heat pump:
- Energy efficiency
- Dual functionality (heating and cooling)
- Lower operational costs
- Environmentally friendly
Yes, changing the filter in your furnace is crucial for maintaining its efficiency and prolonging its lifespan. A dirty filter can restrict airflow, causing the furnace to work harder and consume more energy. Learn when to change the filter:
- Every 1-3 months, depending on usage
- More frequently if you have pets or allergies
Cleaning the area around your furnace ensures safe and efficient operation. Clutter around the furnace can obstruct airflow and pose a fire hazard. Explore some of our cleaning tips:
- Keep at least a 3-foot clearance around the furnace
- Remove any flammable materials
- Ensure vents and air intakes are not blocked
Recognizing when it’s time to replace your heater can save you from unexpected breakdowns and high repair costs. Here are some signs you need a new heater:
- Frequent repairs and increasing maintenance costs
- Uneven heating or difficulty maintaining the desired temperature
- Unusual noises (banging, clanking, etc.)
- Higher energy bills despite regular maintenance
- The heater is over 15 years old
It is recommended that your heating system be serviced at least once a year, ideally before the start of the heating season. Regular maintenance ensures that your system operates efficiently, helps prevent breakdowns, and can prolong the lifespan of your heating unit. Scheduling a professional inspection allows technicians to identify and address potential issues before they escalate, ensuring your home remains comfortable during the colder months.
