Is my furnace broken?
How do you know if your furnace is broken?
When it gets cold outside, your furnace (which probably hasn’t run in almost a year now) fires up for the first time. New noises, some new smells and the time it takes to heat your home brings on a new set of questions. When do you know if you should call out a professional? Often, your heating and air conditioning system is thought of as a mythical machine that operates on some form of mechanical magic. Not all of us know exactly how these things work. To help you identify the standard operating procedure of most current model furnaces, we’ve put together this short video. Hopefully it helps to answer some basic questions you may have. Or maybe it serves as a conversation piece with one of our technicians. We’re here to help.
If you’re wondering whether your new furnace will work differently than your old one, check out this helpful guide: Will My New Furnace Work Differently Than My Old One?.
Keep in mind
Not all furnaces are created equal. There are many specific differences between the furnace installed in your home and the models shown in videos or online guides. It’s always a good idea to have a professional technician assess your system to ensure it’s running efficiently.
If you suspect an issue, our furnace repair cost is affordable and transparent. We offer wellness visits, tune-ups starting at just $79, and a full diagnosis of a broken furnace for $89. Having your system inspected can prevent larger, more expensive issues down the line.
If you’d like us to inspect your furnace, please call us now to schedule an appointment and ensure you stay warm this winter!
