8 Ways to Tell if You Need Furnace Repair

1. Some zones of your home are stubbornly cold.

Your furnace should provide warmth to every room in your home. If it doesn’t and some areas in your home remain too cold, contact one of our HVAC technicians for furnace maintenance or repair.

2. Your home’s energy bills increase suddenly.

If you don’t seem to be using your furnace more, but your home heating bills are suddenly higher than they should, it could be that your furnace is struggling and requires repair.

3. Unusual noises come from the furnace.

All heating and cooling systems make some noise, but if your furnace is making weird noises—especially banging—it’s a sign you need it examined by an expert.

4. Your heating system constantly turns off and on.

Called short cycling, a furnace that keeps starting and stopping instead of turning on and running steadily through its cycle most likely demands repair from an expert HVAC technician like the team members at Brookwood Inc.

5. The heating system won’t turn on.

If your furnace will not start, that’s without a doubt a sign you should call for HVAC repair. If it turns out you need furnace replacement, our HVAC technicians in Newton can help you pick a new high-efficiency furnace that’s a good match for your home.

6. Water pooling around your heating system.

Any type of water coming from your heating and cooling system is a sign there’s something amiss that needs prompt HVAC repair. We’ll provide a diagnosis and present your repair options, so you can choose which works best for your home and budget.

7. Your furnace is making an unpleasant small.

Furnaces shouldn’t smell bad. If there’s a persistent foul smell coming from your furnace, it’s a sign you should seek repair. If you think you smell gas or an eggy smell, it could be a gas leak and demands immediate action: evacuate your home right away and contact us for help once you are safe.

8. Not enough air is coming from vents in your home.

From problems with your air ducts to something wrong with your furnace’s blower motor or a clogged furnace filter, insufficient or weak airflow from vents could be caused by a number of problems that may require HVAC repair, system maintenance or furnace installation.

Frequently Asked Questions: Furnace Repair

You may notice rooms that won’t warm up, new or loud sounds coming from the unit, the furnace turning on and off more than normal, odd smells when the heat runs, or a sudden rise in energy bills. If your system struggles to maintain temperature, it’s smart to have a technician inspect it.

If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm goes off, turn the furnace off, leave the home, and call your gas utility and a licensed HVAC professional. For minor symptoms, it’s often okay to run it briefly, but it may lead to a bigger repair.
This can happen due to thermostat settings, restricted airflow, ignition issues, a dirty flame sensor, or a tripped high-limit switch. A technician can pinpoint the cause and recommend the right fix.
Many repairs can be completed in a single appointment, but the timeline depends on the issue, how easy the unit is to service, and parts availability. After diagnosing the problem, your technician can outline next steps and timing.
A furnace may be a better candidate for replacement if it needs frequent repairs, is near the end of its expected service life, or has a costly failure. If the problem is isolated and the system has been reliable, repair is often the most practical route. A pro can help you compare options.
