Signs and Sounds That You Need to Call A Furnace Repair Professional
Sep 16, 2019
Your furnace compliments the AC to keep your house warm during winter and other cold times. However, on matters warmth, the furnace is a stand-alone unit, capable of dispensing heat on command, and making your home habitable. Unfortunately, just like all appliances in your home, the furnace suffers from wear and tear, eats up some of its own parts, breaks down and can develop symptom free safety issues.
If you call a furnace repair professional, they will spend time with the unit to determine the cause of the malfunction, repair and replace the faulty components, and restore the desired functionality of your Furnace. A good professional furnace technician is the ever-desired specialist to handle your unit for they bring along valuable skills, certification and hands-on expertise and experience. You can rest easy, glad that your machine is being attended to by a specialist.
What You Should Be Looking For
There are many signs its time to make the call but here are some examples of why we call a professional for furnace repair.
1. When the Furnace Stops Working.
This probably seems like an obvious one. Your furnace stops working and you call the repair guys. It is best to not google DIY methods to restore the functionality of your furnace but rather to call a pro. A furnace may stop working due to a combination of faults or a breakdown of its components. A furnace repair professional brings along special tools and is also going to determine why the breakdown occurred. This can often be the most valuable part of the visit.
2. Lack of preventative mechanical maintenance
Many believe that a cleaning or inspection is the necessary care their furnace needs. These types of visits are both lacking very important steps your furnace requires annually. A thorough and cost-effective mechanical visit to test the furnace, inspect and test its components, improve how its running and return the specs back to manufacturers settings because nothing mechanical runs like brand new unless its brand-new.
3. A Non-Functional Thermostat
Once you find yourself having to turn up the heat levels, the thermostat may have an issue, for it is responsible for issuing commands to the machine on the amount of heat needed. Replacing a thermostat on your own may sound like a simple task but it can be a safety hazard or may not achieve the best result. Wiring, compatibility, setup and calibration are essential to a thermostat that works well, optimizes the features of your furnace and doesn’t consume more energy then necessary. Call a professional and this will be sorted without any doubt.
4. Blowing Cold Air
The sole purpose of a furnace is to blow hot air into your house and expel the cold. If the machine begins blowing cold air, it implies that some components are not doing what they were tasked with. You should talk to a professional to rectify the malfunction and restore warmth into your house ASAP.
5. Increased Power Consumption
A bulging electricity or gas bill can be a sign that an appliance is faulty and needs maintenance. Chances are, your furnace may be the guilty one this time. This is yet another reason why regular maintenance is beneficial to your furnace or even the possibility of considering replacement depending on the age of the furnace and if plan on staying in the home for a min. of 2 more years.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late!
A furnace is too important to be neglected. You may not agree during the summer but when cold weather comes knocking, the importance of this appliance is evident. Ensure your furnace is in tip top shape so your air conditioner can run well in the summer and your home and family can be comfortable and safe during the winter.
We want you to love your furnace so it can love you right back and remember, having heat is not an indication your furnace is healthy or safe. Remember to book your annual mechanical and safety visits each year.
