How often does a furnace need maintenance?

So how often should your furnace require maintenance? On all new furnace installations, the manufacturers require yearly maintenance to ensure the system is running properly and that there are no issues with the system. And to keep the warranty of the new system intact.

We at 1-800-plumber +Air of Indianapolis recommended the same. Yearly maintenance can catch a problem before it arises, from checking the heating elements, to changing the air filter. Annual maintenance, including a thorough examination and cleaning of the parts that commonly malfunction, like the air filter, the fan, the pilot light, and the heat exchanger, can usually prevent problems.

What are the most common issues with a furnace?

No one wants to deal with an issue with the furnace, the weather is getting colder, and the temperature is slowly dropping in your house, we at 1-800-Plumber +Air of Indianapolis have compiled a list of some of the most common issues when it comes to your furnace. You can always contact us now for immediate assistance

  • The thermostat does not work. One of the most common issues when it comes to the furnace is a malfunctioning thermostat.

  • Flickering or weak pilot light. If your pilot light changes at all, you should call your local and trusted furnace technician. This could mean there is excessive carbon monoxide in your furnace and can turn into a dangerous situation and should be fixed immediately.

  • Dirty filters. The air filter should be changed once a month to keep your furnace running properly. A dirty air filter can lead to reduced airflow in your heater causing your heater not to run properly.

  • A cracked heater exchanger. The heater exchange separates the warming flame from the air, ensuring that your furnace runs safely, which can be a costly fix. Unfortunately over time the heat exchanger can crack if the air filter doesn't get changed. If the furnace goes out, call a licensed furnace technician to diagnose your furnace.

  • Blower belt. The blower belt is part of the motor that helps keep the fan running. Over time these will sometimes start to fray or even break. This is usually noticed by a high pitched squealing sound from the furnace as it runs. Getting the belt replaced will help improve the performance of your heater fan.

  • Over-cycling. If you notice that your heater is continually cycling on, even if it recently just turned off, this can be a sign that your limit switch is malfunctioning. You may notice your furnace to be continually blowing, even when it wouldn't be. This again will have to be diagnosed by a professional HVAC technician.

  • The furnace isn't blowing. A few different issues could cause this. The primary issue is to ensure that the blower isn't clogged, to do this, make sure the blower area is free from any debris that may be clogging the area. Next would be to see if there is a flashing red light on your blower, if you see the red flashing light, the next step would be to call a HVAC technician.

  • Ball Bearings. Over time, your furnaces' ball bearings can wear out, and they will require replacement. If you hear a scraping noise coming from your heater, turn it off, and call your local and trusted technicians.

  • Noises coming from your heater. If you are hearing a pinging, popping, or even a rattling noise coming from your heater, these noises could be caused by quite a few different issues. From a simple fix to tightening a loose panel, or to your ductwork. If you are hearing a noise and not sure where it is coming from, Contact Us now for help.

I had Kyle U as my plumbing tech. He did a great job and worked really hard to get to the bottom of things (like roots). He was also polite and honest.

Linda D.

Kyle came when he said he would. He stayed in touch through out the day. Was very quick and efficient. If you need a plumber call Kyle.

Ashley C.

Detailed orientated and honest inspection. Chad took his time and explained everything that was going on very well. The service fee was fair for the small issues he fixed, and he was able to make a referral for water restoration for us, I would use his service again and plan to when our water heater goes out.
