Common Furnace Issues

The earlier you seek professional assistance for any furnace issues, the greater your chance of reducing costs and preventing any interruption to your home heating. Common furnace issues that indicate it’s time to call in a heating repair company are:

  • Low heat: This can be caused by faulty components, a clogged filter, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
  • Strange noises: Unusual noises from your furnace might include banging, clanking, hissing, and screeching.
  • Frequent on/off cycles: Your furnace switching between on and off modes more frequently than usual may indicate an overworking furnace caused by a clogged filter.
  • Frequent ignition problems: For ignition problems, you might notice your pilot light dies more frequently.

A furnace may fail to turn on after a long dormant season. Clogged parts and filters, a bad thermostat, or a failing pilot light can cause this.

Simple repairs and seasonal furnace maintenance can resolve or prevent most of these issues. We recommend seasonal tune-ups in the fall to prepare your furnace for a long, cold winter and in the spring to prepare it for dormancy in the summer.

Signs Your Furnace Needs to Be Replaced

Sometimes, furnace problems indicate more than a broken component or a clogged filter. Serious or recurring failures often indicate that the furnace is getting too old to be reliable. Keep an eye out for these common signs that your furnace will need to be replaced soon:

  • Frequent Repairs: As furnaces age, breakdowns can occur more frequently. Once your furnace is older than 15 years, consider whether replacing it is more cost-effective than frequent repairs and service calls.
  • High Heating Bills: If your heating bill begins to spike while your thermostat stays level, that can indicate your furnace is losing efficiency. While some repairs and maintenance can be completed to make your furnace more efficient, these will become insufficient over time, and a replacement might be the more cost-efficient option.
  • Uneven Heating: This may indicate that your furnace is becoming less effective or isn’t big enough for your home’s layout and size. However, uneven heating may also indicate blockages or gaps in your ductwork. Replacement is likely the best option if your furnace is the wrong size or is losing efficiency.
  • Yellow Pilot Flame: A discolored yellow flame will alert you to poor combustion in your furnace. If you see a yellow flame, it’s time for a new furnace system.

A trained furnace technician from 1-800-Plumber +Air will determine the next steps for your furnace replacement in Richmond, VA.
