8 Signs You Need Furnace Repair

1. Some rooms in your home are colder than others.

Your furnace should provide warmth to every room in your home. If it’s not and some rooms in your home stay too cold, call one of our HVAC technicians for furnace maintenance or repair.

2. Your monthly energy bills spike.

If you aren’t using your furnace more, but your home heating bills are rising much more than they should, it could be that your furnace is struggling and is due for repair.

3. Unusual sounds come from the furnace.

All heating and cooling systems make some noise, but if your furnace is making odd noises—especially grinding—it’s a sign you should get it examined by an expert.

4. Your heating system keeps turning off and on.

Referred to as short cycling, a furnace that keeps starting and stopping instead of turning on and running steadily through its cycle most likely needs repair from an experienced HVAC technician like the team members at Service Max Heating & Air Conditioning.

5. The heating system won’t start.

If your furnace will not start, that’s certainly a sign you should get HVAC repair. If it turns out you need furnace replacement, our HVAC repair technicians in Arlington can help you select a new eco-friendly furnace that’s a good match for your home.

6. Water leaking around your heating system.

Any type of water leaking from your furnace is a sign there’s something amiss that needs prompt HVAC repair. We’ll give you a diagnosis and present your repair options, so you can choose which option is best for your home and budget.

7. Your furnace is making an unpleasant small.

Furnaces shouldn’t smell bad. If there’s a persistent nasty smell coming from your furnace, it’s a sign you need repair. If you think you smell gas or a sulfur smell, it could be a gas leak and calls for immediate action: evacuate your home right away and reach out to get help once you are safe.

From problems with your ventilation system to something wrong with the blower motor or a clogged furnace filter, insufficient or weak airflow from vents could be caused by a number of problems that may require HVAC repair, system maintenance or furnace installation.
