As the seasons’ change and the temperature begins to drop, ensuring your house is properly heated is a necessity. Taking risks with your furnace is never a good idea. No one wants to be left with no heat on a chilly winter day. That’s why maintaining your appliances, specifically your furnace, is your responsibility to keep you safe in the cooler months. To do so, we recommend being aware of specific situations where you may need to tune up your furnace. 

 

5 Way To Tell If You Need A Furnace Tune-up

  1. Suspicious noises
  2. Starting and stopping on its own
  3. Unpleasant smells
  4. Thermostat Issues
  5. Expensive heating bills

 

Suspicious Noises

If the sounds from your furnace have become louder or more frequent, this may be an indication you need maintenance. There are plenty of reasons that your furnace may be extra loud, and it is important to pay attention to the sounds being made as you can later describe them to the technician. For example, a popping noise may indicate an air duct problem or dirty burners.

 

Starting & Stopping On Its Own

If you find your furnace starting and stopping on its own, there is likely a problem in store. This is an indicator that your thermostat may be malfunctioning, your fan motors are not working properly, or your filters may be dirty.

 

Unpleasant Smells

With a gas furnace, it is no surprise that you will have a slight smell of fuel from your furnace. However, when this smell grows stronger and leaks into surrounding rooms, there may be a deeper issue. If you are experiencing a foul-smelling furnace, ensure to contact your HVAC provider right away to assist with any serious malfunctions.

 

Thermostat Issues

A clear sign that your furnace needs a tune-up is when raising your thermostat does not work. If you find yourself turning up your thermostat and nothing is happening, there may be an issue regarding the power source or cleanliness of your furnace. If addressing these issues does not help, it may be time to replace your thermostat if it is not working as it should.

 

Expensive Heating Bills

If you have found your heating bill unexpectedly high during the cooler months, there may be an issue with your furnace. This does not specifically indicate a serious issue with your furnace, however, it is a sign that your furnace may not be performing at its best. Getting your furnace checked and serviced is an efficient way to lower your heating bills this winter.
