Fall is in full swing, and for central Indiana, that means you’ve been firing up the furnace for a few weeks now. That also means you might notice your heating system is a little sluggish – or worse, showing signs of trouble. Edwards Royal Comfort wants you to stay safe and warm this season. Here are some furnace warning signs to watch out for as you run your heat the first few weeks:
Furnace Warning Signs :
Strange Noises
Rattling, banging, squealing, or grinding sounds are abnormal. They could indicate a problem with the blower motor, fan belt, or other components.
Unpleasant Odors
A burning smell could mean a clogged filter, dust buildup, or electrical issue. Musty odors might indicate mold growth.
Uneven Heating
If some rooms are colder than others, you may have a problem with your ductwork, airflow, or thermostat.
Short Cycling
Does your furnace turn on and off frequently? This can strain the system and lead to premature wear and tear.
No Heat at All
This one’s obvious, but it’s a clear sign that something is wrong and needs immediate attention.
If your heating system is exhibiting any of these signs, do your DIY diligence, but beware! Many issues are not fixable or even diagnosable by even the handiest of homeowners.
Should You DIY or Call a Pro?
While you can check your air filter and thermostat settings, leaving more complex diagnostics and repairs to the experts is best. Attempting to fix furnace problems yourself can be dangerous and may even void your warranty.
Time for a Replacement?
If your furnace is old, inefficient, or constantly needing repairs, it might be time for a replacement. We understand this can be a big expense, so we’ll work with you to find an affordable solution that fits your budget.
