When it comes to staying warm during the cold Colorado winters, your furnace plays a significant role. As such, keeping it in good repair is crucial to maintaining a warm, comfortable, and energy-efficient home. But how do you know when your furnace needs a professional repair? Here at Indoor Air Quality, Inc., we’re dedicated to helping Denver-area homeowners recognize the typical signs of furnace trouble. This knowledge can help you seek assistance before minor issues evolve into more serious, costlier problems.
An unexpected rise in your heating bills can signal that your furnace is not running as efficiently as it should be. Over time, parts wear down, air filters become clogged, and the overall system has to work harder to heat your home, leading to increased energy consumption.
If you start noticing uneven temperatures throughout your home — some spaces feel warm while others are a bit too chilly — it could be a sign that your furnace is struggling to distribute heat evenly, indicating a possible need for professional repair.
While furnaces aren’t silent machines, they should operate relatively quietly. If you start hearing unusual sounds like banging, popping, whining, or screeching, it’s time to call in a professional. These noises can indicate a variety of issues, including loose or worn parts.
If your furnace is more than 15 years old and has frequent operational problems, it might be time for a check-up — or even a replacement. Regular maintenance can extend the life of a furnace, but age can lead to more frequent and costly repairs.
Frequent cycling between the “On” and “Off” states could indicate a blocked filter, improper airflow, or a bad thermostat setting. While some of these issues are relatively simple to fix, they could also point to more serious problems.
If you find the air in your home becoming stale or noticing an unusual amount of dust even after cleaning, it could indicate that your furnace is no longer effectively cleaning and moisturizing the air.
