Signs your furnace might need repair

Don’t let a broken down furnace leave you in the cold this winter in Winfield. Be on the lookout for some common signs that could indicate that your furnace may need some attention. 

1. Higher heating bills: Gas and electricity prices can fluctuate for any number of reasons. However, if there’s an odd pattern in your heating bills, a broken furnace could be the reason why. Your furnace may be working harder and using up additional energy to make up for the output it would normally produce.
2. Unusual noises: Knocking or banging noises when your heater turns on usually spells trouble. If you’re hearing these noises, contact us and our technician will find the source of the noise and get it fixed.
3. Different Color Flame: A furnace’s pilot flame color should be a consistent bright blue. This means that it’s burning evenly. However, if the flame is yellow or flickering, the furnace may be burning carbon monoxide. Don’t let this go ignored, especially if you smell gas. Turn off the unit, exit the house and call the fire department.
4. Frequent Repairs: If your heater needs repairs more often, perhaps it’s time to consider a new system. While this may seem like an expensive investment at first, modern units are more energy efficient making them cheaper to run. They may actually lower your monthly utility bills. Plus, a new system can help reduce the inconvenience of needing frequent service calls.
5. Reduced Air Quality In Your Home: If the air inside your home is dry and musty, a new furnace can help improve air quality. That’s because newer systems are equipped with special moisture control features. These newer features can make all the difference during the dry winter months.
