Signs You Need a Furnace Repair Service

A small problem with your furnace can quickly lead to something worse. That loose belt or connection is easy to fix. If you wait much longer, it can damage major components, so your heating unit may require more costly repairs or a replacement. 

Contact Apex Pros for furnace service if you notice the following signs:

  • No Warm Air: Your furnace is blowing cold air from the vents, even though the thermostat is set to heat
  • Inconsistent Heat: The temperature keeps fluctuating, or in some rooms you’re sweating and in others it’s too cold.
  • Loud Noises: Shrieking, squealing, popping, banging, rattling, and other unusual sounds can indicate a broken part or mechanical failure.
  • Yellow Pilot Flame: If the flame isn’t blue and steady, your furnace may be leaking carbon monoxide.
  • Strange Odors: The smell of rotten eggs indicates a natural gas leak; burning, musty, and smoky odors are also worrisome. 
  • Furnace Won’t Stay On: It could be overheating, have a dirty air filter, or a faulty limit switch, or there could be an airflow or power problem.
  • Short Cycling: Various issues inside your furnace can cause it to turn on and off too frequently, which can waste energy and cause damage.

High energy bills are also something to look out for. This can mean your furnace is working harder to produce heat. Tripping breakers can indicate an electrical problem, while hearing the carbon monoxide alarm is a sure sign you need to leave your home and call your local furnace repair company.

Apex Pros Fixes All Common Furnace Problems

Our HVAC repair technicians are NATE-certified. They’ve undergone rigorous training and passed exams, so they have the expertise to deal with the most complex issues. You can rely on our team for expert furnace repair to correct all these common problems that we find:

  • Clogged or dirty air filters
  • Blocked vents and registers
  • Faulty ignitors and pilot lights
  • Damaged blower motors
  • Bad wiring, capacitors, and other electrical components
  • Malfunctioning limit switches
  • Broken thermostats
  • Damaged gas valves and pipes
  • Cracked heat exchangers
  • …and much, much more

How we proceed often depends on the type of furnace. For example, a gas furnace repair may require cleaning soot off flame sensors or burners, or replacing the gas valve or ignition components (heat exchanger replacement is the most complex heating repair). Electric furnaces have fewer and simpler parts, but repairing or replacing a heating element or blower fan isn’t unheard of. High-efficiency furnaces may require repairs to a secondary heat exchanger or drain line.

Preventive Maintenance Helps Avoid Major Repairs

Seasonal tune-ups allow us to address minor issues and make adjustments to keep your heating system in top shape. If you want to save money, it’s a good idea to invest in a maintenance plan like our Worry-Free Program. Each fall, our technicians inspect your furnace, clean interior components, lubricate moving parts, and perform various other tasks that help it run smoothly. 

Furnace maintenance avoids major repairs by addressing issues that can damage larger components. Skipping routine service can lead to costly emergency calls. By scheduling a furnace tune-up each year, you not only avoid big repairs, but can also benefit from:

  • Improved energy efficiency, and therefore lower utility bills.
  • A longer-lasting furnace, so you don’t invest in a replacement prematurely.
  • More reliable heat, better indoor air quality, and other comfort enhancements.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Furnace

Prompt repairs restore heating and can extend the life of your furnace system. If the unit is 15 years old or older, the option to repair or replace it may be on the table. But just because it’s not new doesn’t mean we can’t make repairs.

At Apex Pros, our experts typically advise opting for repairs rather than replacing the unit if it:

  • Is under 15 years old.
  • Does not require frequent repairs.
  • A repair costs less than 50% of a new unit.
  • The furnace generally keeps you comfortable.
  • You don’t have the budget for a replacement.

Furnace replacement is a better option if the above aren’t true and you would like to see the benefits of an upgrade. Newer models tend to use less energy and provide more effective heating. Plus, high-efficiency furnaces and heat pumps can help you see long-term savings.

Safety First: Carbon Monoxide and Code Checks

Safety and compliance checks are performed whenever we look at your furnace. Carbon monoxide (CO) is odorless and colorless, yet it is an immediate risk to your life. In Ohio, CO detectors are required in every home. We can install and test your CO alarms and also test your furnace for any leaks, which warrant repairing or replacing it. 

At Apex Pros, our technicians also perform furnace maintenance inspections that verify the system complies with the latest regulations. A code violation can result in hefty fines. To help you avoid non-compliance issues, we check that the combustion air supply, venting system, electrical wiring, and other aspects of your heating system meet local and national guidelines.
