When it’s frigid in Sandpoint you need your furnace to keep you comfortable. If it’s been too long since your system had maintenance, you could have a furnace repair soon in your future. Even if your system looks to be running well, you may need to clean or replace your air filter. An old air filter can block air flow, hurt your furnace’s efficiency and affect the limit switch that controls furnace operation.
There are different reasons you might require a furnace repair. The quicker you can call for a furnace repair, the better. If you see any of the following signs, call in an expert, like Age Heating & Cooling.
1. Your furnace is making a lot of noise. You may have a problem if your furnace starts running loudly or making noises you’re not used to hearing.
2. Your blower isn’t operating correctly. Is it running enough? Is it running endlessly? Does the air flow seem weak? You might have a problem with your air filter or furnace blower.
3. Your home isn’t heating up enough. Have you turned up the thermostat again and again but aren’t feeling any difference? This could suggest a few specific problems. It could be something wrong with your thermostat. It may be a problem with your gas source or pilot light. It could even be that your furnace isn’t big enough for your space. 4. Your utility bill keeps growing. Your usage isn’t changing but your bill keeps increasing. This could signal a few different problems. Your HVAC expert will help sort out what’s going amiss.
5. You smell gas. This is critical. If you smell gas, stop your furnace immediately and shut off its gas supply. Don’t light any matches or turn on lights until your HVAC expert or your gas company has a chance to inspect your furnace.
6. You find water collecting around your furnace. This is usually a clogged condensation line. It could require both plumbing and HVAC experts to fix.
