5 Signs You Could Need Furnace Repair Service
Are you experiencing these issues with your furnace? Look for the following signs:
- Furnace won’t start. Sometimes this is due to an incorrect thermostat setting, but it can also indicate something else is wrong and a safety feature is blocking your furnace from working.
- Starting and stopping often. A furnace that’s working properly wouldn’t be turning on and off several times during the day. This is known as short cycling, and it may impact your energy costs and the life expectancy of your furnace.
- Loud or unusual noises. If your furnace is generating odd noises, like banging, screeching or rattling, it requires service immediately, contact us for a service appointment.
- Higher utility bills. Sometimes your furnace can’t generating enough heat, resulting in it needing to work harder to maintain warmth, which means increased heating and cooling expenses.
- Hot and cold spots in your home. A broken furnace and air duct system won’t adequately distribute heated and cooled air where you need it to. Your heating and air conditioning should always be consistently spread throughout your home.
Now that you know your furnace isn’t operating like it’s meant to, you can focus on what’s triggering the problem. There are as many causes as there are makes and models. Every one of our AC and furnace professionals work hard to solve the problem as fast as possible.
These are just some of the more frequent factors that require furnace repair:
- Your thermostat isn’t working
- Your air filter is dirty
- A critical component has failed
- You’ve skipped routine maintenance

Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Furnace?
You don’t have to be an HVAC technician to see when getting an updated furnace is better than repairing your old one. There are numerous clues to watch for and recognizing any of them could save you from severe malfunctions. It may also make the transition into a replacement furnace much easier.
Pay attention to the following:
- Your furnace’s age. Even with appropriate maintenance, most home furnace systems don’t make it more than 20 years.
- The recurrence and cost of repairs. We suggest replacing your furnace when repairs are over half the amount of a new system.
- You’re getting a new air conditioner. If you’re upgrading your air conditioner, installing a new furnace can elevate its efficiency.
We are happy to help you figure out which brand or type of furnace will be right for your needs and budget. When choosing a new furnace, we’ll look at the model and fuel source; efficiency; and its features and options, such as variable-speed heating and smart thermostat compatibility.
When it comes to your new installation, we’re proud to provide a fast, streamlined process from the minute you call us until your new furnace is installed. With a free, no-obligation estimate for all furnace installation costs, you’ll understand exactly what the furnace installation job entails.

Benefits of Furnace Replacement
You may be inclined to keep your worn-down furnace for as long as feasible. But even the top HVAC contractor can only do so much through furnace maintenance and repairs. The last thing you want to deal with is a malfunctioning furnace in the midst of winter.
As a result of advances in technology, there are countless benefits from selecting furnace replacement instead. Here are just a few of them:
- Higher energy efficiency. Identify the annual furnace utilization efficiency rating, or AFUE. The higher the AFUE rating, the more efficient the furnace is at converting energy into heat. A higher AFUE furnace may even help reduce your utility bills without compromising comfort. The most efficient furnaces are ENERGY STAR certified, which means they meet or excel tight federal criteria for energy efficiency.
- Silent, consistent performance. An ear-splitting, clunky furnace is a thing of the past. We provide furnaces that have variable-speed blowers, an attribute that alters how much heat your furnace creates and puts out. Variable speed can help you use reduced energy while improving your home’s comfort level.
- Greater direct control. With the option to join a smart thermostat with your upgraded furnace, you’ll enjoy added features and settings that initiate home comfort rapid and effortless. Environmentally friendly programming could help you balance comfort with less energy usage.
