When your furnace stops producing heat, your home becomes uncomfortable. Even if your furnace isn’t showing any trouble, you should still take preventive measures for its longevity. We suggest having our technician perform heating service on your system twice a year. If you reside in Portland, contact Oxbow Heating & Cooling.
Telltale Indicators That Your Heating System Needs Repair
Here are the warning indicators that can help you determine whether your furnace needs to be repaired.
• Airflow Problems
Your furnace not only generates heat but also distributes it throughout your house. However, if your furnace is having trouble supplying enough airflow, it might be time to get it checked out by our specialist.
• Trouble Starting The Unit
You probably require a heating replacement or repair if you have to restart your furnace or try to start the appliance several times during the day.
For superior quality heating repair in Portland, contact Oxbow Heating & Cooling.
• Short Cycling
If your furnace is short cycling, you might want to have it looked at by our professional. While short cycling is frequently simple to remedy, your HVAC system may suffer long-term harm if it goes unattended.
• Higher Energy Costs
If your gas or electricity bill suddenly increases for no apparent reason, your HVAC system may no longer operate effectively. However, you might be better off purchasing a newer, more effective heater.
• Unusual Sounds
Strange noises from your heater may indicate that it needs to be replaced. Homeowners frequently describe these noises as popping, rattling, or screeching. Schedule a heating service in Portland with our technician when you hear these sounds.
• Discolored Pilot Light
A ventilation issue may be indicated by a different-colored pilot light, particularly one that is yellow; when gasses like carbon monoxide don’t break down properly, the color changes.
• Improper Heat
The most frequent reasons for insufficient heat are malfunctioning thermostats that improperly communicate with the furnace unit and leaking ductwork that lets treated air escape.
• Dust In The House
There might be an issue with your furnace if your house constantly fills with dust or the air feels unnaturally dry. If the airflow in your home is beginning to suffer, there may be a problem with the blower motor or even clogged or damaged air ducts.
