Signs You Need Furnace Repairs
Nothing is worse than when a furnace breaks down, mostly because it seems to always happen in the middle of the night or when the weather has taken a turn for the absolute frigid. This is why it is so important for homeowners to know the signs and symptoms of an impending problem with your furnace.
Yes, sometimes things break without warning, but many times a furnace does give off signs that something may be wrong. Catching these symptoms early can help prevent a bigger problem down the road:
- No Heat: If your heating system is on and your thermostat set, but your house isn’t warming, it’s likely there’s a problem with your furnace. This is one of the most common symptoms of furnace issues.
- Change in The Pilot Light: Furnace pilot lights are typically blue, and that’s the color they’re supposed to be. So, if you notice that your pilot light has changed to green or yellow, that’s an emergency situation that needs to be addressed immediately.
- Poor Air Quality: If your air quality has taken a turn for the worst, and or you notice soot around your vents or furnace, that’s a sign of an issue with your furnace, so contact a professional.
These are the most common signs, but any time you notice something strange with your furnace, such as odd noises or smells, don’t be afraid to contact Easco Air Conditioning and Heating for a furnace diagnosis.
How Can a Damaged Unit Impact Your Home?
Many homeowners might be tempted to put off a furnace repair. They can be expensive or perhaps the weather has been mild and you just don’t need the furnace right now to keep your home comfortable. But the truth is, delaying a furnace repair can create further problems and often make things worse. The following list includes things to consider when deciding to put off a furnace repair. A broken furnace can:
- Cause higher utility bills
- Be a fire hazard
- Worsen your air quality and lead to increased allergies and illnesses
- Lead to water damage and soot damage in your home
- Lead to a carbon monoxide leak and poisoning
- Cause an explosion
As you can see, some of these issues are increased costs and discomfort, but some of them threaten the health and safety of you and your friends and family members. So if you suspect your furnace needs repair, contact our professionals.
