When it’s cold outside, you count on your furnace to keep you warm inside. But just like any other appliance, your furnace will need repairs. But before it totally breaks down, there are signs that furnace repairs are needed. Below are three signs that you need furnace repairs now.
1. Carbon Monoxide
This is the most dangerous sign that there’s something wrong with your furnace. Do you notice your CO detector going off? Then not only is there something wrong with the furnace, but you need to get you and your family out of the house.
2. Your House is Cold
If you have your heat cranked up and you are still cold, chances are that there is something that’s wrong with the furnace. Check your thermostat to see that it’s been correctly set and then see if there’s air coming from the heat register. If both of these things are happening and the air is cold, it’s time to call the repairman.
3. You Hear Banging
Your furnace shouldn’t be making a lot of noise. If you’re noticing a lot of noise coming from the furnace, it’s time to call your repairman because there’s something wrong with your furnace.
These are just three of the signs you need furnace repairs. It’s always a good idea to have someone come and do a tune-up on your furnace so that problems are caught early. This can help you with avoiding big repair bills in the future and help to keep your house and family toasty warm during the cold weather.
