Does My Furnace Need Repairs?

In the midst of the frigid cold temperatures, the last thing anyone wants is to unexpectedly walk into (or wake up in) an unheated home. Yet all too often, homeowners find themselves in this frustrating situation. Fortunately, by watching out for some common warning signs of furnace failure, you can avoid getting stuck in a situation where you are completely without heat because your system has a total breakdown. When you need furnace repair in St. Louis, don't hesitate to give our expert heating and furnace team a call.

Common indicators that your furnace needs repair include:

• Odd noises – Your furnace will always make some level of sound while operating. However, if you hear loud banging, clanking, screeching, grinding, or squealing, it is a sure sign you should have our professionals take a look.
• Strange odors – If your furnace hasn’t been on in a while, you might smell an odor of burning dust for a few hours before it dissipates. This is completely normal and is not a cause for concern. On the other hand, if the burning smell persists several hours, or if you notice odd odors even though you have been using your furnace often, these could be signs of a major problem.
• Cold spots – Unless you have a zoned heating system, the temperature in every room of your home should be relatively similar. If you notice a dramatic difference in the temperature when you walk to a different area of your house, there may be something wrong with your furnace
• Short cycling – Your furnace is set up to run only when your home drops below the temperature on the thermostat. Some furnace issues manifest themselves by causing a furnace to kick on and off too often. If you notice your system is running erratically or continually, it’s time to call for furnace repair.
• Frequent thermostat adjustments – Typically, you should only need to adjust the thermostat in your home a couple of times a day – usually at bedtime and when you wake up in the morning. If you constantly need to fiddle with the settings to achieve a comfortable temperature, your furnace may have an issue.

• Higher heating costs – Your heating bill can do more than tell you how much you owe the energy company. It can also tip you off to a problem with your furnace when it reflects a spike in the payment amount. If you owe more money than usual, it could be indicating that your furnace has a problem that is causing it to be less efficient and effective.

The Vital Importance of Annual Furnace Maintenance

Just like any other big investment in your life, maintenance is essential. Maintaining your furnace is absolutely key if you want to get the best performance, energy efficiency, and longevity from your equipment, but it's also more than that: furnace maintenance is also critical for your safety. Neglecting to maintain your furnace at least once per year increases the risk of a complete furnace breakdown; on a freezing day, this can be dangerous. If you have a gas furnace, you have the added risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. This colorless, odorless gas is emitted as a normal part of the combustion process that produces heat, and is safely vented away from your home via your furnace's exhaust vent. However, if you never maintain your furnace, you could risk a problem with a clogged furnace exhaust vent or a cracked heat exchanger, both of which can cause toxic and life-threatening CO gas to leak into your indoor air.

If you can't remember the last time you scheduled a furnace maintenance appointment, don't wait another moment! Call us now to get on the books.
