What Are Furnace Early Warning Signs? Bartlett Heating and Air Has the Answer

Just like everything man made your HVAC system is no different when it comes to eventually breaking down. Most people are able to tell when their car is going to break because of noises it makes or other clues it gives off and they have it fixed ASAP. Your furnace does the same thing for you as long as you know what to look for. Bartlett Heating and Air has some things to watch for so you can get your furnace repaired sooner than later and also save money in the process. The first thing you can look at is the flame. Your flame should be blue not yellow, red, or orange. When you see the blue flame it means your furnace is getting the right mix of gas and oxygen to work properly. Flames of any other color might mean you have blocked airflow which causes many issues with the furnace. If your flame is not blue then you need your furnace looked at ASAP. Another thing to look at is how old the furnace is. Furnaces last between 10-20 years. If your furnace is getting up there in years then you need to keep an eye on it since it will be more susceptible to breaking down. They do not last forever and you don’t wanna wait until the last minute to replace the furnace in the dead of the winter because it dies. Your thermostat might be causing issues with your furnace. If you notice the furnace turning on and off a lot before the home reaches temperature then you might have a faulty thermostat. Bartlett Heating and Air will be able to repair or replace your thermostat for you. One last thing to look out for is any weird sound or smell coming from your furnace. You should not smell gas or any other smell if your furnace is functioning correctly. Your furnace will make noises occasionally but if they are excessively loud or start to sound different you should have a qualified technician like the ones at Bartlett Heating and Air come out and inspect your furnace. These are all simple things you can do to make sure your furnace gets fixed sooner than later so you can stay warm all winter. Call Bartlett Heating and Air today for all your HVAC needs!
