Identifying Furnace Problems

Furnace problems can come in all shapes and sizes. However, many homeowners ignore the minor issues and only call for repairs when things get really bad. Unfortunately, the minor problems being repaired could have prevented the more major issues and saved the homeowners money in the process.

Call Right Away: No Power, Cold Air, Burning Smell, CO Alarm, Hissing

The furnace has no power.
Only cold air comes from the vents.
No air comes from the vents.
There are burning smells from the vents or system.
A carbon monoxide detector is going off.
Hissing noises (this could be a gas leak and requires contacting emergency services)

Any of these issues are major problems and require an immediate call to a professional. Cases of a potential gas leak or carbon monoxide can put the entire home at serious and immediate risk. Vacating the home and contacting the appropriate emergency services may be necessary.

There are some issues that may not be so dire but could be an indication of a problem that needs to be addressed before it gets worse.

Schedule Soon: Long Run Times, Uneven Heat, Rising Bills, Noises, Yellow Pilot

The furnace running longer than normal.
A home not getting warm enough.
Energy bills keep getting higher for no reason.
Strange noises come from the furnace.
There is a yellow pilot light at the furnace.

Although these problems may not be an immediate threat to the home’s safety and comfort, they could be signs of problems that are coming. Having the system inspected by a professional could help identify a problem and prevent it from getting worse.

Inspections and Maintenance

One of the best ways to ensure the furnace stays working properly and efficiently all winter is to have it properly maintained and inspected every year. Summers furnace repair in Lafayette, IN, can provide these important inspections and maintenance tasks to help homeowners prepare for the winter.

It is recommended that the furnace be inspected every year before the temperatures drop. Early in the fall is probably the best time for this inspection for those in or around Lafayette, IN. Our technicians will arrive at the home when it is convenient for the homeowner.

Upon arrival, the technician will inspect all parts of the furnace system. They will clean away any dust and debris as well as replace any necessary filters. If there are parts that need lubrication, they will apply that at this time. During the inspection, if potential problems are discovered, the technician will discuss the repair options with the homeowner to get the furnace working properly before the winter.

Furnace Repair or Replacement?

There are times when replacing the furnace is the best option for the homeowner. This can occur when the furnace has reached the end of its lifespan, which is typically 15 to 20 years. It may even be when the repairs are becoming too frequent or expensive (generally 50% of the cost of replacement). Sometimes, a replacement is recommended when the furnace is outdated and more efficient models are available. In this situation, it may be less costly for a homeowner to replace the system than paying the higher energy costs.

If a homeowner decides to replace their system, the technicians at Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling will discuss the best options for the home and provide professional installation of that unit.

What should I do if I smell gas or my CO detector goes off?
Leave the home immediately, call the gas company or 911, and once it’s safe, call Summers to have the system inspected before it’s used again.
