How To Tell You Need Furnace Repair Services
Pay attention to the following symptoms that indicate you need your furnace repaired by a professional.
Home Is Dustier Than Normal
While this can be due to an air filter that needs to be changed, it can also be due to leaking ductwork or buildup on your furnace components. Our team can investigate the problem and provide you with a solution that will reduce the dust in your home.
Energy Bills Have Spiked Unexpectedly
When you’re not using more heat than normal but your heating bills are spiking, that can be due to an inefficiency within your system. We can diagnose what’s causing the inefficiency and propose a fix.
No Hot Air Is Coming Out Of Vents
If you’ve already checked your thermostat settings and that’s not the culprit, your flame sensor may be dirty or your limit switch may have tripped. You’ll need to contact a professional HVAC technician like those at Pioneer to respond to these issues with furnace repairs.
You’re Smelling Strange Odors
Strange smells coming from your vents can be either mold buildup in your ducts or a gas leak, depending on the odor. Both need to be addressed as soon as possible for your safety. Especially if you smell rotten eggs and suspect a gas leak, leave your property immediately and call 911 before contacting us.
Pilot Light Is Not Blue
A pilot light that is orange or yellow is a clear sign there’s something wrong. Your pilot light should always be blue, otherwise you may have a carbon monoxide or other gas leak.
Common Repairs We Perform on Furnaces
There are some heating issues we see more often than others as HVAC professionals. Those include:
- Replacing the Filter: Your furnace filter should be changed every few months. While filer replacement can be done by a homeowner, our team can provide assistance so you know it’s done properly.
- Cleaning the Ductwork: If your ducts are dirty, that restricts the airflow coming out of your vents. We can perform air duct cleaning during the furnace maintenance process so your air can easily flow into your home like it should.
- Fixing the Blower: Blower issues can lead to a complete loss of hot air blowing in your home. We’ll fix your bearings, capacitor, or fan belt so your furnace can function properly.
- Inspecting the Thermostat: Thermostats are responsible for telling your furnace when and how much to heat your home. If you suspect your thermostat is malfunctioning or reading incorrectly, we can help. We even service smart thermostats.
- Repairing the Limit Switch: Your limit switch is responsible for telling your furnace to shut down when it gets too hot. A malfunctioning limit switch puts you at risk of a fire breaking out in your home. The team at Pioneer can assess your limit switch and fix it if need be.
Frequently Asked Questions About Furnace Repair
We’ve put together answers to a few questions we get frequently regarding furnace repair.
How much does furnace repair cost?
The cost of repairing a furnace can vary based on the specific problem you’re experiencing and how severe that problem is. To get a better understanding of what you’ll need to pay for your furnace repair service, you should contact us at Pioneer directly for an upfront quote.
How long does it take to repair a furnace?
The majority of furnace repairs only take a matter of hours to complete. If parts need to be ordered or the issue is more complex, however, it may require another visit.
What causes a furnace to turn off and on rapidly?
This is called short cycling. When this happens, if your thermostat is not to blame, your furnace is likely overheating or the airflow is restricted. We can figure out what’s causing the short cycling and remedy the problem.
When should I opt for furnace repair instead of replacement?
If your furnace is younger than 15 years old and the repair is isolated or you don’t require frequent repairs, a repair is likely to be your best choice. When you have an older furnace or the repairs begin to add up, you should consider opting for a furnace replacement.
