These Signs Mean It’s Time for Furnace Repair in Apple Valley
With chillier weather finally on its way, the last thing you need is a broken-down furnace. We describe the top signs that it’s time for furnace repair below. If you suspect furnace trouble, or it’s been a few years since yours was last inspected, call the experts at Comfy Air Inc. in Apple Valley.
Even if your furnace is still adequately blowing out warm air, pay attention to the sound it makes. Different noises indicate different problems. An electrical connection issue that could pose a fire risk often makes a buzzing sound. A worn-out fan belt that could snap at any time might make screeching noises. There may be a dangerous malfunction with the burners if they are banging or popping. Whatever the noise is, it’s best to have it looked at as soon as possible before the furnace stops working altogether.
Short-cycling means the furnace is continuously turning on and off before the room can reach its desired temperature. Signs that your furnace is short-cycling include a cold house even when the furnace is on, hearing the furnace turn on and off more often than normal, and a difference between the temperature on the thermostat and how the temperature actually feels. Short-cycling can be caused by several things, including a dirty air filter or flame sensor, a faulty thermostat, or a clogged flue.
A well-functioning thermostat will have a blue pilot light. If you notice any other color, such as yellow, orange, or red, it could mean there are other harmful substances, such as rust buildup, tar, or oil in the burners. When the pilot light burns strange colors, it also releases harmful fumes. Turn off the heater and call an expert right away.
