Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Repair
The most common part to fail on a furnace is its filter. If not cleaned properly, the filter can get dirty or clogged. It can cause the furnace to stop producing heat. Replacing a clogged filter improves your furnace’s efficiency and improves your indoor air quality.
Diagnosing furnace problems can be done in various ways. Here are some of the signs contractors at Mr. Mike’s Plumbing look for:
- No Heat or Lack of Heat: When this occurs, we will check if the heat registers are open, look at the thermostat settings, and verify if the furnace has power.
- Cycling On and Off: If your furnace is turning on and off, it could be due to various problems, including a dirty filter, blocked exhaust vent, or faulty thermostat.
- Constantly Running Blower: The thermostat may be set to the fan setting. Another possible culprit could be a malfunctioning limit control switch.
- Odd Noises: Loud banging, high-pitched squealing, or low humming can indicate a bigger problem. A professional can find the source of the issue, saving you money.
- Pilot Light is Out: A strong draft and dirt in the pilot burner or gas tube can cause this to happen. It’s one of the main reasons a furnace stops producing heat.
There are several other indicators that can help us diagnose problems with furnaces. If you have any questions, ask your contractor from Mr. Mike’s Plumbing during the inspection.
What are the signs of a furnace going bad?
Most furnaces last between 15 and 20 years. However, telltale signs of wear and tear include:
- Lack of Heat: If your furnace is not doing its job of heating your home, it may be struggling. Consider repair or replacement if your furnace isn’t blowing air throughout the home.
- Strange Sounds: Pops and squeaks are warning signs that your furnace needs replacements or repairs. A part may be loose inside your unit, or there may be a bigger issue.
- Higher Bills: When your gas or electricity bills start climbing, it might be due to a faulty furnace. Aging furnaces become less efficient and require more power to run, which increases your bills.
- Dust in Air Vents: If you notice dust coming from the heat registers when your furnace turns on, it may be due to it losing its ability to filter air. It can indicate issues with your ductwork or blower fan.
If you have concerns about your furnace, speaking with a professional can help. Call the expert contractors at Mr. Mike’s Plumbing for an inspection today!
Sometimes replacing your furnace is cheaper than repairing it. You should replace your furnace when you notice any of the following:
- Old Age: If your furnace is over 15 years old and suffers from various issues, it’s time for a replacement.
- High Repair Costs: When the repairs are more than 50% of the cost of the new unit, replacement is the better option.
- Extra Energy Consumption: Furnaces tend to lose efficiency as they age. It increases energy consumption because they run longer to provide the same amount of heat.
If you’re thinking about replacing your furnace, speak to the professionals at Mr. Mike’s Plumbing today.
