After a long winter of heavy use, your furnace may be suffering from major wear and tear. Ideally, you should have it fixed now so it'll be ready for next winter. To decide whether you need furnace repairs, look for these signs.

When to Call Your Heating Contractor

1. No Heat

If your furnace is blowing cold air, there may be an issue with the burners or the fuel supply. Alternatively, you may not be getting any airflow at all, which could be caused by a broken fan, a clogged filter, or a leaking duct.

2. Loud Noises

When your furnace's fan is out of alignment, it may make a screeching, rattling, or buzzing sound. Other loose parts can cause clunks and clatters, which can be extremely disruptive to your home environment.

3. Unexpectedly High Bill

If your gas or electric use is higher than expected, it may indicate that your furnace is working too hard to produce the heat you need. This can be due to blocked airflow, problems with the burners, and other issues.

4. Turns Off & On Frequently

Your thermostat checks the temperature of its environment and uses this data to control your furnace. If it's cycling frequently, there may be a problem with the thermometer or the thermostat's placement.

5. Signs of Leaks

A gas leak is an emergency that needs immediate furnace repairs, as the gas can be dangerous or deadly to anyone in the house. If you suspect a leak, get out of the home until heating system repairs are complete.
