Signs Your Furnace Needs To Be Repaired
Furnaces typically last 15 to 20 years, but with routine service, some have lifespans of up to 30 years. Because these are complex systems, if you see any of the signs below, it’s important to act fast to prevent a full breakdown and frozen or burst pipes.
Signs you need furnace repair include:
- Noise: Strange sounds could be the heat exchanger, gas burner, a broken part, or your system nearing the end of its life expectancy.
- Age: If your furnace is 10 years or older, it will lose efficiency and, with normal wear and tear, require more repair work.
- Odors: Metal or chemical smells might be caused by electrical parts or a faulty component. If you notice a rotten egg smell, it may indicate a gas leak. Immediately leave, go to a neighbor’s, and call 911 and your utility company’s emergency number, then call us for emergency repair.
- High utility bills: If energy costs increase, change the filter and ensure nothing is obstructing the vents. Change your air filters every three to four months to prevent airflow blockages, which strain your system.
- No heat: Culprits include an air leak, blower problems, or malfunctioning thermostat. Change the thermostat batteries and then reset it to see if that resolves the issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my furnace serviced?
Annual furnace repair services optimize your system and prevent premature breakdowns. Our technicians can also make any necessary repairs before they worsen.
What are the signs that it may be time to completely replace my furnace?
Replace your furnace if it’s over 15 years old, utility costs skyrocket, it’s noisy, or when the heat becomes uneven or inconsistent. If the issue is the ignition system, blower motor, or thermostat, a new system might be the best option, as repair costs will continue to increase and parts can become harder to find.
