Top 4 Furnace Repair Warning Signs
Unusual Noises
It’s completely healthy for a furnace to make noise. You should hear the motor ‘hum’ from time to time. However, it is not normal for a furnace to start making loud noises or unusual sounds. The difference between these sounds is fairly noticeable. If you are hearing loud noises similar to metal screeching or grinding, pounding, whistling, slamming of any kind, you need to have a professional look at it before it breaks down or causes bigger problems.
Increase in Heating Bills
When heating costs begin to rise, it usually points to inefficient performance. A variety of issues could be causing your system’s performance to drag. As such, it is best to play it safe and call us so we can diagnose the problem and look at options to fix it.
Yellow Pilot Light
If the pilot light flame in your furnace is yellow, you should take this very seriously, as this is a sure sign of an issue. Yellow flames indicate there’s a mixture of gases. The proper color of a healthy pilot light is blue, which indicates an ideal balance of gases. The yellow pilot light, however, can indicate dangerous gases like carbon monoxide.
Non-Responsive Unit
What does it mean when you turn on the heat and nothing happens? This means you might have a faulty thermostat, or you could have leaks in your air ducts. A third cause could be related to your pilot light. In any case, if your system isn’t responding to your thermostat, you’ll want to give us a call!

When to Repair vs. Replace a Furnace
As summer draws to an end and signs of fall slowly start to appear, you may be thinking that it’s time to get a head start on equipping your home for winter. One of the most important ways you can prepare for the upcoming winter months is to check your furnace for signs of wear and consider the repair or replacement of a broken system. Below are a few questions a homeowner should ask themselves before making a decision. (Source)
How old is your furnace?
Unfortunately, even the highest quality heating systems don’t last forever. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a furnace should last 15-30 years before you’ll need a replacement. Of course, this varies by brand, furnace quality, and various other factors. But a heater will generally start to show increased signs of wear that will lead to more frequent and costly repairs during this timeframe. Instead of continually monitoring an old system for repairs, it may be a more economical choice to replace the furnace with a newer system.
Is your furnace safe?
Any system that could potentially expose you and your family to carbon monoxide needs to be replaced — not repaired — as soon as possible. A furnace with a cracked combustion chamber allows carbon monoxide to leak into your home and should always be replaced immediately.
Known as the silent killer, carbon monoxide is an odorless, tasteless, colorless gas that causes death when inhaled over long periods of time. Between 2010 and 2015, over 2,200 people died from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning. The highest number of deaths occurred in the winter during the months of frequent furnace use.
How much will the repair cost?
When comparing the cost of a repair versus a replacement, experts recommend replacing your furnace when repair costs exceed 50% of the cost of a replacement as a general rule. But for older heating systems that have exceeded 75% of their life expectancy, you should consider purchasing a new furnace once repair costs exceed one-third of the replacement cost.
Thinking About Selling Your Home in the Next Few Years?
Homebuyers look for the best possible investment when considering their options and often make their decision based on a property’s number of favorable features. Furnaces are the most common space heating option in the U.S., which makes a functioning, efficient furnace an indispensable asset.
Replacing your furnace probably won’t increase your home’s value, but it can still be vital towards your success in selling your home. An out-of-date heating system that has reached the end of its life expectancy will likely need to be replaced during the inspection process. At best, failure to replace an old system could cause buyers to ask you for a reduced asking price, and at worst, it could keep potential buyers from being able to make an offer on your home altogether.

6 Home Heating Safety Tips
Sick of spending a small fortune to heat your home during the long Midwest winters? Below are 6 tips that you can do yourself to save money and heat your home more efficiently this winter.
Seasonal Maintenance
Don't forget to schedule seasonal maintenance for your furnace or heat pump to ensure the safety of your primary heating sources prior to the beginning of every season of usage.
Be Aware of Gas Leaks
If you smell gas in your home or emanating from your gas heater, do not light the appliance or ignite it. Leave your home immediately if you suspect gas is leaking and call your local fire department or gas company before re-entering.
Clean the Chimney & Fireplace
Test Your Smoke Alarms
Don’t forget to test your smoke alarms every month and make sure you have carbon monoxide (CO) alarms installed throughout your home to avoid the risk of CO poisoning and test them monthly. Replace batteries for all alarms periodically, and as needed.
Create a Safe Space
Anything that is flammable or combustible should be kept at least 3 feet away from all heating equipment and heat sources, including furnaces, fireplaces, and portable space heaters. This space should also be a “kid-free zone.”
Use a Programmable Thermostat
Using a programmable thermostat to turn the temperature lower while you sleep or work can decrease your energy consumption up to 25% without having to remember. Learn more about programmable thermostats today.
