Do I Need To Get My Furnace Repaired Immediately?
It might be tempting to put off furnace repair until it is an undeniable need or even an emergency. You might want to wait for a few more paychecks to come in, or you might think you don’t need the furnace too much right now so you can wait to get it repaired. Unfortunately, if this is what you choose to do, there is a high chance that the repair need will go from something small and easy to fix to a much larger, much more complicated repair. Not only will this end up costing you more money on both repairs and your electric bill, but it also has the chance to severely impact the expected lifespan of your furnace. We always recommend getting your furnace fixed at the first sign of damage to help prevent further costs and trouble down the road.
Signs My Furnace Needs Repair
Want to make sure you are always aware of whether or not your furnace needs repair? Then make sure you are paying close attention to your furnace, especially when you turn it on for the first time after summer. Watch out for these signs, which might let you know that your furnace needs to be looked at and repaired.
While walking from room to room, do you notice that some areas are warmer than others? Or while walking around in one large room, are there cold spots when everything should be warm? This could potentially point to a repair need in your furnace. When your furnace is damaged in some way, it likely can’t function at its best, which leads to certain spots in your home—even entire rooms—not being warmed properly. Look for any other possible explanations for that cold room or spot (like a wall of windows or a drafty door to the outside), but if no other explanation is available, then you likely want to call our team to come check it out fast.
Similar to the point above, if your furnace seems to always be on, it likely is having to work harder to accomplish fully warming your home. As long as you have your furnace on a consistent cycle, it shouldn’t take hours for your furnace to get your home back to your desired temperature. Most cycles should only last anywhere between 10-15 minutes. If you notice that your furnace cycle is consistently running cycles longer than 15 minutes, or if it is cycling more than 5 times per hour, it could be a sign that your furnace needs to be repaired.
We’re sure everyone knows that smell that occurs the first time you turn your furnace on for the season! But this isn’t necessarily what we are talking about. Of course, if that smell lingers for more than a few minutes, it might indicate something is wrong, but the thing we are more concerned with is if you notice an odd smell every time your furnace turns on or shuts off. A consistent smell could indicate that your furnace needs to be repaired immediately. The same is true for odd sounds. While you might become familiar with and even deaf to the normal sound of your furnace, once odd sounds start, it’s sure to stand out. Whether the sounds are only while the furnace is turning on or off, or lasts the entire length of the cycle, you need to consult an HVAC company immediately. Not doing so could lead to much more extensive damage—even to the point of needing to replace the furnace instead of repairing it!
While this list of signs to watch out for isn’t extensive, it gives you a few things you can keep your eye out for to make sure your furnace is in proper working condition. If you notice these or other, signs of furnace damage, make sure you take care of it promptly by giving Hurlburt a call today. Being proactive in taking care of your furnace can help to make sure that your home is ready for winter and that your furnace will last the full length of its expected lifespan.
