Common Furnace Issues
Like every other major appliance, furnaces require regular maintenance to work right. They’re also more likely to fail with age. If you have an older model, you may begin to see problems more frequently.
When problems arise, they typically exhibit warning signs. You may notice the furnace sounding strange or not heating as it should. Warning signs can vary depending on what’s wrong with your furnace. Here are some of the signs you should look for. These signs will warn you before the furnace goes out and tell you when to seek furnace repair services.
1. Poor Heat Distribution
Poor heat distribution occurs when areas of the home receive more heat than others. The reason the heat isn’t distributed evenly is often due to one of three problems: leaky or inadequate ductwork, restricted airflow, or a furnace that’s too small for the space.
Fixing poor heat distribution could be as simple as changing an air filter. It could also require a furnace replacement. Our HVAC technicians can tell you more when they start working on your unit.
2. Continuous Cycling
Nature does play a part in this, with the climate outside impacting how often your furnace needs to cycle. But if your furnace is constantly cycling, you could have a problem on your hands. You may also notice the furnace turning on and cycling off over and over again.
Many issues could cause this problem to occur, the most common one being an electrical short or a malfunctioning thermostat. Whatever the cause, the technicians at Hutchinson have seen this issue many times. Our furnace repair services will make sure your furnace only turns on when it’s supposed to.
3. Defective Thermostat
Thermostats aren’t particularly difficult to install, but someone with no experience installing them is bound to experience some issues. As a result, they’re often installed wrong and don’t always work right. This can take the form of not reading the right temperature. A faulty thermostat can also lead to cycling issues that damage your HVAC system.
Problems can also manifest as the thermostat not initiating heating cycles when it should. The thermostat may even be defective, which points to a manufacturing error. Your HVAC technician will inspect the thermostat to identify the problem.
4. Bad Odors
It’s common for a heater to emit a peculiar odor the first time it’s turned on each winter, typically caused by the burning off of dust particles and other contaminants. However, if an unpleasant smell persists, it might indicate issues with your furnace system’s internal components or potential lubrication problems.
When metal and electricity interact, heat is generated. Ignoring electrical issues or gas problems can lead to severe damage to your furnace. Don’t hesitate to schedule furnace repair services promptly. Timely action will help preserve your furnace and ensure the safety of your family.
5. Loud Noises
It isn’t unusual to hear loud noises when your furnace first turns on. If those noises don’t go away, something isn’t right. You might hear bangs, squeals, squeaks, or other loud noises.
Many furnace components can make noises, from the belt squealing to an internal component rattling loose. Often, loud and unusual noises are the first sign something has gone wrong. Don’t hesitate to call us. The longer you wait, the more damage your system could sustain.
