Temperatures continue to drop in Richboro, PA as we inch closer to wintertime. With that in mind, having a furnace that can keep up with your heating demands is important. Read on to learn about some signs that could indicate your furnace is in need of professional repair services.
Strange Noises
One of the most obvious signs showing you something is wrong with your furnace involves strange sounds coming from the system. Banging, clanging, thumping and hissing sounds coming out of your furnace point to one or more components that aren’t operating as designed. As soon as you hear any of these sounds, schedule professional furnace repair.
Foul Odors
Hearing isn’t the only sense that can let you know that something is wrong with your furnace. If you detect strange smells in your home whenever you turn your furnace on, this another potential sign that something is wrong. Aside from the smell of dust burning off your equipment at he beginning of the heating season, there shouldn’t be any odors coming from your furnace. If you smell anything strange or acrid coming from your furnace, have a qualified service technician diagnose and repair the problem.
Inconsistent Heating
When every component of your furnace runs at its best, you’ll have even, adequate heating throughout your home. If some rooms in your home are colder than others, or if your furnace never reaches the temperature that you set on your thermostat, it’s a sign that something isn’t working correctly.
Rising Utility Bills
When temperatures reach their lowest outside, you may notice a slight increase in your monthly utility bills. If you notice drastic increases in those monthly bills, your furnace may not be running efficiently, which points to the need for prompt repairs.
