Common Furnace Problems

Like any piece of hardware, furnaces are prone to developing their own issues. Sometimes, these problems are caused by poor maintenance or untended repairs. Others can occur naturally as the system wears and tears from general use. Knowing some of the most common issues that affect furnaces can help you identify which ones might be impacting yours. This makes it easier to determine the risk level, possible consequences, and how long you can wait before scheduling a furnace repair.

  • Dirty filters, which lead to system strain, lower performance, and higher energy costs
  • Damaged blower belt that causes a screeching sound
  • Ignition or pilot light problems, which impact heat and may stop the system from working entirely
  • Worn out ball bearings, which cause a scraping sound

You should never allow a furnace to keep running if it produces any noises while operating. Screeching, hissing, grinding, and thumping are all indicators that critical parts of your heating system have worn out or broken. Continual use when the sounds persist can lead to irreversible damage and even a fire.

Older models may not benefit as greatly from repairs, especially if the same issue seems to keep happening. While you can often improve an old system’s functionality, you cannot make a furnace that’s reached the end of its lifespan perform anywhere close to a newer model. Our experts offer furnace installation, that can help you resolve your old furnace issues once and for all.

How Long Should I Wait to Call a Professional?

A furnace repair should always be done as soon as you discover there is a problem. We recommend that you turn off your heating and wait until an expert can take a look at your system to be sure that there are no potential health hazards or fire risks involved.

If you notice issues with temperature, like cold spots in the home or frequent cycling, you can still run your system, albeit at reduced capacity. These issues are not dangerous, but they do negatively impact your comfort levels and raise your energy bill.
