5 Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair

Is your furnace making strange noises? Is your home not heating evenly? These are just a few signs that your furnace may need repair.

At YBC Air, we've been serving Fairfield County for over 30 years. We know a thing or two about keeping homes warm and comfortable throughout the Connecticut winter. If you notice any of the following warning signs, it's time to give us a call:

1. Strange Noises

• What to listen for: Banging, popping, screeching, or rattling.
• What it might mean: A loose belt, a dirty blower motor, worn bearings, or a failing motor.
• Why it's a problem: Ignoring these sounds can lead to more extensive and costly damage.

2. Uneven Heating

• What to look for: Some rooms are colder than others, cold spots in certain areas.
• What it might mean: A clogged air filter, a dirty burner, a malfunctioning thermostat, or issues with ductwork.
• Why it's a problem: Inconsistent heating reduces comfort and can indicate underlying inefficiencies.

3. Pilot Light Issues (If Applicable)

• What to look for: A pilot light that is yellow or orange instead of blue.
• What it might mean: A gas leak or improper combustion.
• Why it's a problem: This is a serious safety hazard and requires immediate attention. Turn off your furnace and call a qualified technician immediately.

4. High Energy Bills

• What to look for: A noticeable increase in your energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage.
• What it might mean: A dirty air filter, a clogged burner, a failing heat exchanger, or decreased furnace efficiency.
• Why it's a problem: This indicates your furnace is working harder and costing you more money to operate.

5. Furnace Won't Turn On

• What to look for: No response from the thermostat, no blower activation, no heat.
• What it might mean: A blown fuse, a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty thermostat, or a more serious electrical or mechanical problem.
• Why it's a problem: This leaves you without heat and can disrupt your daily life.
