Signs Your Furnace Might Need Repair

Your furnace often shows warning signs before it completely breaks down. Paying attention to these issues can save you from bigger problems and higher repair costs later.

  • Unusual noises – Banging, rattling, or squealing can signal loose parts or mechanical issues.
  • Uneven heating – If some rooms feel colder than others, your furnace may be struggling to distribute heat properly.
  • Frequent cycling – A furnace that constantly turns on and off could have a failing component or airflow problem.
  • Rising energy bills – A sudden increase in heating costs often means your system is running less efficiently.
  • Yellow burner flame – Instead of a steady blue flame, a yellow flame can indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide issue.
  • Dry or dusty air – Poor furnace performance may lead to comfort issues inside your home.

If you notice any of these signs, scheduling a professional furnace inspection can help prevent a complete breakdown and keep your home safe and comfortable.

Common Questions

  • How do I know if my furnace needs repair?

    Some common signs include strange noises, uneven heating, higher-than-usual energy bills, frequent cycling, or the furnace not turning on at all. If you notice any of these, it’s best to schedule a service call before the issue gets worse.

  • What should I check before calling for service?

    Try changing your air filter, making sure your thermostat is set correctly, and confirming that your circuit breaker or power switch hasn’t been tripped. If these don’t solve the problem, a technician should take a closer look.

  • How long does a furnace repair take?

    Most repairs can be completed in the same visit, often within 1–2 hours. If a special part is needed, your technician will discuss next steps and timeline with you.

  • How much will my furnace repair cost?

    The cost depends on the issue and any parts required. We charge a $68 weekday trip charge or $125 on weekends (discounted for Total Care Club members). Before any work begins, you’ll receive clear repair options and pricing to approve.

  • Can furnace repairs improve energy efficiency?

    Yes. Addressing issues like dirty filters, ignition problems, or worn-out parts can help your furnace run more efficiently, lowering your energy bills and improving home comfort.

  • How can I avoid future repairs?

    Regular maintenance is key. Annual tune-ups, timely filter changes, and keeping the area around your furnace clear can all help extend the life of your system.
