A furnace issue can be a huge hassle in the winter and sometimes people try to get away with not fixing the furnace. This is a habit that we should all break. Ignoring the signs that your furnace needs to be fixed can cause bigger issues in the long run. Here are a couple things you can look for that you should not wait to fix. First, if your furnace is making loud weird noises, it means that problems are coming soon. If it is grinding, clicking, or clanking it needs to be serviced right away. If you put it off, more components can break causing even more issues. If you have sudden exponential rises in your heating bills without excess use it could be a signal that your furnace has an issue that needs to be addressed. The longer you wait to fix it the higher your bills will be which is a huge waste of money for you. One last thing to look for is cold spots in your home. If your home is not evenly heated throughout then you can have big issues. It may signal issues with a few different areas from duct work to your air handler. These are all things you need to be looking for and need to take action for right away. You can call the professionals at Bartlett Heating and Air and we will help you with all your HVAC needs!
