Signs of Heating System Issues
In addition to a complete absence of heat, some of the most common signs of furnace malfunction include loud, persistent noises coming from the unit, discolored pilot lights, and poor indoor air quality due to dirty filters.
Issues caused by dirty or damaged furnace filters are easy to fix with filter replacement, and discolored pilot lights can signify dirty or dusty burners that just need a cleaning.
Loud noises can be due to a variety of factors including loose components and damaged parts.
Your furnace may indicate something is wrong if:
- Furnace won’t turn on
- Incorrect thermostat readings
- Unusual odors coming from furnace
- Tripped carbon monoxide detectors
Whatever the problem may be, you can trust our experienced technicians to thoroughly assess your furnace and perform the needed repairs to ensure your home is warm and comfortable.
Heating Maintenance
It’s important to maintain your furnace to extend its life. You can do a few things yourself including changing the filter monthly, cleaning your air vents, and keeping the area around your furnace clean and clear of your possessions.
An annual tune-up can also keep your heating system running smoothly and efficiently for many years to come. We offer heating maintenance plans that include a heating tune-up every year.
