As temperatures drop in Shenandoah, a reliable furnace is essential for comfort and safety. Identifying early warning signs of furnace issues can prevent costly breakdowns and keep your home warm throughout the season.
At Aire Serv of Shenandoah, we help homeowners detect and address furnace problems before they become emergencies. Here are the top signs your furnace may need servicing.
Unusual Noises
Rattling, banging, or squealing sounds indicate mechanical issues such as loose components, worn belts, or motor problems. Early inspection prevents further damage and costly repairs.
Inconsistent Heating
If some rooms are warmer than others or your furnace struggles to maintain the set temperature, airflow problems, blocked vents, or a malfunctioning thermostat may be the cause.
Increased Energy Bills
A sudden spike in heating costs can signal inefficiency caused by dirty filters, worn components, or failing parts. Servicing your furnace improves efficiency and lowers energy bills.
Frequent Cycling
A furnace that turns on and off too often (short cycling) may be oversized, have airflow issues, or require maintenance. Short cycling stresses the system and can shorten its lifespan.
Yellow or Flickering Pilot Light
A healthy pilot light should be blue. Yellow or flickering flames may indicate incomplete combustion, gas issues, or ventilation problems that require immediate attention.
Strange Odors
Musty, burning, or chemical smells can indicate dust buildup, mold growth, or electrical problems. Early detection prevents damage and ensures safe operation.
