It’s important to understand how your furnace looks, sounds, and smells when it’s in perfect condition so that you can easily recognize when it’s experiencing an issue. The longer furnace problems persist, the worse they get. This not only leads to more complex issues that cost more to fix, but it might even result in a full appliance breakdown, requiring you to replace the complete system. Repairing components is typically much cheaper than replacing the entire furnace. Additionally, your utility bills may continue to increase in the meantime. Our experts can fix common problems like strange noises, poor heating, short cycling, or a pilot light that won’t stay lit.
As your unit ages, it will begin to show signs of wear and tear that you should watch out for. Signs you should call for furnace repair include:
A new furnace typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Its exact lifespan depends on various factors, such as how well you maintain the appliance. Upgrading to a new model now means getting to enjoy all the perks that come with it, including lower energy bills and consistent heating. It will also likely be some time before you need to worry about scheduling repairs. However, keep in mind that the better you care for the appliance, such as scheduling regular professional inspections, the higher the chances it’ll work optimally without problems.
Frequent repairs and high energy bills should make you consider a new unit. Several benefits of a furnace replacement in Hugo include:

A furnace can cost thousands of dollars, so it’s important for homeowners to understand how to properly care for it, as this can help prevent the need for repairs. It’s also essential to know when it’s necessary to call us for fast, reliable assistance. The following are a few questions we often get from clients.
Inconsistent heating, strange sounds, and a pilot light that’s anything but blue are signs you need a furnace repair. Additionally, you may also notice your utility bills start to increase. Although this is typically common in winter due to putting on the heat, there’s a difference between a slight increase and a major one that indicates an issue. You should also pay attention to any odd odors. For example, a rotten egg smell coming from the appliance can indicate a potential gas leak. If this happens, open your windows, vacate the home, and call us immediately.

Changing the air filter is one of the easiest ways for you to maintain your furnace. Doing it every three months is the max, but it’s better to change it monthly. This is especially the case if you have pets in the home, as dander and pet fur can fly around and contribute to poor indoor air quality. It’s also better if you have allergies or certain health conditions. Call Hurlburt in early fall so that we can inspect your furnace and make sure it’s in perfect working order for winter. Additionally, do self-inspections throughout the year. Look for potential problems, such as corrosion on the appliance or leaking water. If you see anything out of the ordinary, call us immediately to schedule an inspection appointment.
