Signs Your Furnace Needs Professional Repair
It can be hard to know when your furnace needs to be repaired. If you’ve noticed these signs, it’s time to schedule a repair appointment:
- Leaky system: There shouldn’t be fluids coming from or pooling around your furnace, so if you’ve noticed this with your system, you need to schedule furnace repairs.
- Odd banging noises: While furnaces create some noises, they shouldn’t be distracting or overly noticeable.
- No heat: The point of a furnace is to provide heat for your home, which is why a system failing to do that is a prime candidate for repairs.
- Spike in heating bill: You should have a good idea of your average heating bill, so an unexpected jump in your heating costs could indicate a system malfunction.
