How to Know When Its Time for a Furnace Repair

February 16, 2018

 

In Justin you count on your furnace to keep you comfy throughout the winter. If it’s been a while since you had a standard maintenance appointment for your furnace, you could be needing a furnace fix-up visit in the near future. As a minimum, you could have a dirty air filter, which can block air flow and effect your furnace’s efficiency. It could even create problems with your furnace’s control switch, which controls furnace operation.

There are many other reasons you may need a furnace repair. We’ve assembled some indicators for you to scan for. The sooner you can call for a heat pump maintenance, the better. Call in a pro, like Pepper AC & Htg Inc, if you see any of these symptoms:

  1. Your blower doesn’t seem to be operating properly. Is it running enough? Is it operating all the time? Is the air blowing through as liberally as it should, or does it seem tired? Signs related to your blower could signify a bit of a problem with your air filter or the internal blower.
  2. Your home isn’t getting warm enough. Are you hiking up the thermostat again and again, but you’re still cool? This could be a issue with your thermostat. It might be that your furnace is too little for your home. It may even be a problem with your gas source or your pilot light, amid other things.
  3. Your furnace is loud. If your furnace starts running loudly or generating noises you’re not used to hearing, there could be a problem.
  4. You smell gas. You definitely don’t want to interfere with this one. If you smell gas, cut off your furnace at once and shut down its gas supply. Get around lighting matches or switching on lights until your HVAC pro or your gas company inspects it.
  5. You find water pooling around your furnace. Often times this is a obstructed condensation line. This could require both plumbing and HVAC professionals to repair.
  6. Your utility bill keeps growing. If your bill is climbing, but your usage is not, there could be a number of complications. Your HVAC professional will help find out what’s going wrong.

Now that you’ve read these signs, you’ll know when you need to schedule furnace repair. And we’re here when you need it. Call Pepper AC & Htg Inc at 940-202-1184 when you need to arrange repairs or regular maintenance.
