Get Your Furnace
Repaired Immediately,
If You See These
Warning Signs

Overview
The furnace is an essential furnace that keeps your home comfortable and
prevents seasonal problems like burst pipes when the weather gets cold. The
unit can, however, become damaged even if you do not realize it, since the
furnace is not turned on for half of the year.
Scheduling furnace repairs promptly is important if something goes wrong with
your unit. These seven signs indicate that you should find furnace repair in
NYC and have an HVAC professional inspect and service your system.

SOMETHING IS ABNORMAL ABOUT THE FURNACE
It is not uncommon for the first time in a year
for furnaces to smell like the fuel they use.
When the furnace is operating, most of the
odour dissipates. Your furnace may have a
problem if you notice that there's a strong
odour, an odour that doesn't go away, or one
that suddenly appears near the unit.
From a gas leak to excessive dust, these smells
can be caused by a variety of factors. Find out
what is causing the odour by having an HVAC
professional assess it.

UNIT IS DIFFICULT TO START
With age, a furnace may become harder to turn
on and run. You may need a repair if starting
the unit or restarting your furnace takes more
than a few attempts.
It is common for wiring to become
disconnected or thermostats to become
damaged leading to these functionality issues.
The problem should be resolved by replacing
the affected part.

FLASHING PILOT LIGHTS DISCOLORED
Make sure your pilot light is the right colour. It
usually appears blue when the pilot light is
healthy. The presence of a different colour pilot
light, particularly yellow, indicates a ventilation
issue.
In the case of carbon monoxide, the colour
changes because the gas is not dispersed as it
should be. If this problem is not addressed, it
can lead to health issues for you or your family.
It can even add to the risk of fire in your unit.
5

INADEQUACY OF HEATING
You should know that it is time to call for
heating repair when the furnace isn't
performing its job. One of the most obvious
signs is that it requires repairs. Scheduling
furnace repairs is a wise decision if your
furnace is producing no heat or low heat
regardless of the temperature setting.
Inadequate heat can be caused by leaking
ductwork that allows treated air to escape and
by faulty thermostats that are not
communicating with the furnace.
6

CONSTANT NOISE
Although furnaces are not silent, persistent
and loud noises may indicate serious
problems. If you hear any strange sounds,
describe them to your HVAC contractor so he
or she can determine what the problem is.
When there is squealing or whistling, it could
be a belt issue or a fan issue. Groaning and
banging sound like different internal parts are
broken or missing.

THE QUALITY OF THE AIR IS POOR
The quality of air in your home is directly affected by your
furnace system. If your heating system is not properly
maintained, dirt, bacteria, and other foreign particles may
circulate throughout your home with the heated air. Your air
could become dustier, and you could suffer from more
coughs, colds, and other respiratory ailments. It is also
possible for foreign particles to cause allergies in people with
allergies, or people living in your household.
The number of foreign particles available may also cause
allergies if you or someone in your family has them A
headache and itchy eyes may accompany these symptoms.
Replace the filter if you're having furnace air quality
problems. When the ductwork is contaminated, the unit and
ductwork may require professional cleaning.

CARBON-MONOXIDE DETECTOR TRIPPED
You can alert yourself to toxic gas leaks by
installing a carbon monoxide detector in your
furnace. Turn the furnace off if it goes off,
and open the windows to allow the home to
ventilate.
To determine where the gas is coming from,
contact your gas company and an HVAC
contractor. When you notice one or more of
the warning signs above, you shouldn't wait
for your furnace to fail. The repairs should be
scheduled as soon as possible following the
assessment.
