There are a number of ways you will know that it's time to call for your furnace to be repaired; common issues include:

• Your furnace doesn't start
• Your home is not reaching the temperature set on the thermostat
• Cold air is coming from your vents
• You have a strange odor coming from the furnace
• Skyrocketing energy bills you can't explain
• Hot and Cold Spots throughout your home

While you should have your furnace serviced before the heating season begins, there are times when you will have problems with your furnace anyway. If your furnace is not getting the air warm enough, or you hear unusual loud noises from your system, you must contact an HVAC provider to get the furnace services you need.

There are a few things you check with your furnace in order to figure out if you need to call for a repair. When your furnace doesn't start, make sure that the circuit breaker to your furnace hasn't tripped. If you know where the air filter is, make sure that it is not dirty or clogged up. Look at the thermostat to see if it needs to be reset. See if the pilot light is out. 

If you can't figure out what the problem is, contact Heartland to have a skilled technician come to your home in order to figure out what is going on with your furnace.

Uneven Temperatures in Your Home

If you find one room is much colder than the other, this can be a problem with your furnace and airflow throughout the space. As your furnace gets older, it may not be able to heat your home adequately. This can produce hot or cold spots in the home, reducing the efficiency of your heating system.

Did You Check Your Pilot Light?

It is possible that your pilot light has gone out from a sharp gust of wind, and you can check to see if your pilot light is still on within your furnace. You can relight your pilot light and see if this solves the issue. If the pilot light goes out again immediately, you will want to contact Heartland to repair what is going on with your furnace. 

The Furnace is Short Cycling

If your furnace turns on and then turns off quickly without heating your home, this is called short cycling. It can be caused by a number of things like inadequate airflow or malfunctioning parts. However, short cycling is a common issue with older furnaces, and if you've had many service calls to address your short cycling issue, it might be time to consider replacing your furnace. 

There comes a time when it's more effective to replace your existing furnace than it is to keep repairing the one you have. If your furnace is less than ten years old and still under warranty, most repairs should be covered by the warranty. When the issue isn't expensive to fix, clearly, a repair makes more sense. Once your furnace is older and can't be restored to efficiency, a new furnace installation will be worth the investment. 

Your Heartland HVAC technician will be open and honest with you about the state of your furnace. We are not in the business of selling furnaces to people who don't need them. Our team can figure out the age of your furnace and any warranty information you need to make repairs affordable.
