Your furnace might be trying to communicate with you through various signs and symptoms. By learning to recognize these spooky signals, you’ll be better equipped to exorcise those heating demons and restore warmth to your haunted home.
Signs of a troublesome furnace
Is your furnace exhibiting these telltale symptoms?
- Strange noises: If your furnace is making more racket than usual, it might be time for a tune-up.
- Cold spots: If your furnace is leaving cold spots around the house, it’s definitely not functioning at its best.
- Constantly running: A furnace that never stops running isn’t normal, and it’s probably costing you a fortune in energy bills.
- Foul odors: If your furnace is emitting unusual smells, it’s time to investigate. A musty or burning odor could indicate serious problems.
Bringing your furnace back to life
Don’t panic! Here are some ways to get your furnace back on track:
Check the basics
First things first, make sure your thermostat is actually set to “heat” and the temperature is high enough to kick on the furnace. It sounds simple, but you’d be surprised how often this is the culprit!
Replace the filters
Your furnace needs clean air filters to function properly. Replace those dusty old filters with fresh ones to improve airflow and efficiency.
Clear the area
Make sure the area around your furnace is clear of debris and that all vents in your home are unobstructed. This can significantly improve your furnace’s performance.
Give it a good cleaning
Giving your furnace a good cleaning can work wonders. Dust off the burners, vacuum around the unit, and consider having one of our professionals perform a more thorough cleaning.
