The Ultimate Guide to Furnace Repair: When to Call the Professionals

February 16, 2024

Having a well-functioning furnace is essential for maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home, especially during the colder months. However, like any piece of machinery, furnaces can break down over time and may require repair. But how do you know when to call in the professionals for furnace repair? Here's the ultimate guide to help you make the best decision.


1. Unusual Noises

One of the first signs that your furnace might need repair is the presence of unusual noises. If you hear banging, squeaking, or rattling noises, these could be indications of a mechanical problem. It's best to call the experts at Home Saving Inc. Heating & Cooling immediately to prevent further damage.


2. Rising Energy Bills

If you notice an unexplained increase in your energy bills, it could be a sign that your furnace is not running efficiently. A professional technician can identify the cause and perform necessary repairs to return your furnace to its peak performance.


3. Frequent Cycling

Does your furnace frequently turn on and off? This could be a sign of a malfunctioning thermostat or a problem with the furnace itself. A professional furnace repair service can accurately diagnose and fix the issue.


4. Yellow Pilot Light

The pilot light on your furnace should be blue. If it's yellow, it could indicate a ventilation problem that can lead to the production of carbon monoxide — a dangerous gas. A professional HVAC technician from Home Saving Inc. can inspect the furnace and make any necessary repairs to ensure your home stays safe.


5. Poor Indoor Air Quality

If you notice increased dust in your home or a decrease in air quality, it could be a sign that your furnace needs repair. An inefficient furnace can circulate dust, mold, and other allergens, negatively impacting your family's health.


6. Inadequate Heating

A clear sign your furnace needs repair is when it no longer heats your home effectively. If some rooms are colder than others or your home doesn't feel warm enough, contact a professional immediately.
