Diagnosing your Furnace Problems
With the winter season in full swing, it is important to know what exactly makes us feel sick, right? The same goes for your home’s heating system. If you’ve been experiencing problem with your furnace, we’re breaking down what may be the cause.
Unusual Noises:
The first sign of a sick furnace is one that is making loud or unusual noises. If your furnace is constantly shaking, rattling, or squeaking, that’s a huge sign that something is wrong. Dust, dirt and other debris can get stuck in your filters, making your system work harder than it needs to in order to get the same result.
Diagnosis: Leave mechanical issues to your service technician. Make sure to always clear your filters and vents monthly to increase efficiency.
Faulty Thermostats:
If you have a faulty thermostat, your home is efficiently making it to your desired temperature. There could be many things that are causing a faulty thermostat, but high energy bills are one of the effects. A malfunctioning thermostat can mess with your home’s temperature AND your comfort levels.

Changes in Temperature:
If you are experiencing uneven temperatures within your home, this is a sign that something is wrong with your furnace. As mentioned above, a faulty thermostat can contribute to the overall comfort level of your home, as well as clogged vents or ducts that can decrease the heat output into your home.
Diagnosis: There could be an issue with your gas or pilot light. Make sure to have your ducts cleaned to ensure open airflow. Call our MSP team of experts to get you back to maximum efficiency.
