Dependable Furnace Repair & Installation Services
Gas furnaces are a popular and efficient heating option for many homes and businesses, providing reliable warmth through the colder months. To ensure that your gas furnace operates safely and at peak efficiency, regular maintenance is crucial. Scheduled check-ups can prevent the common issues that might lead to system failure or inefficient operation, such as clogged filters, faulty ignition systems, or damaged components. Regular maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your furnace but also ensures it runs more efficiently, saving on energy costs and reducing your environmental footprint. At Airstream Services, we specialize in thorough inspections and maintenance of gas furnaces, helping you enjoy a warm, comfortable, and safe environment in your Middle Tennessee property.
What Are Signs Your Gas Furnace Needs Repair?
- Reduced Heating Performance: If your furnace isn't producing enough heat or if you notice uneven heating, it may be a sign of a malfunction.
- Strange Noises: Unusual noises like banging, squealing, rattling, or popping coming from your furnace can indicate a problem with its components.
- Frequent Cycling: If your furnace turns on and off more frequently than usual (short cycling), it can be a sign of a problem.
- High Energy Bills: A sudden increase in your heating bills without a corresponding increase in usage could indicate that your furnace is operating inefficiently.
- Yellow or Flickering Flame: A gas furnace's flame should burn blue. If you notice a yellow or flickering flame, it may indicate a combustion problem. This can also be a safety concern, so address it promptly.
- Pilot Light Problems: If your furnace has a pilot light and it frequently goes out, won't stay lit, or appears weak, it may need attention.
- Strange Odors: Unusual odors, especially a strong smell of gas (rotten egg odor), can indicate a gas leak or other combustion issues. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate your home immediately and call your gas company and a professional technician.
- Increased Dust and Allergies: If you notice more dust, dirt, or allergens circulating in your home when the furnace is running.
- Inconsistent or Unreliable Thermostat: Your thermostat doesn't respond accurately to temperature adjustments or your furnace fails to maintain the desired temperature.
- Age of the Furnace: Furnaces typically have a lifespan of 15-20 years. If your furnace is nearing the end of its expected life, it's more likely to develop problems and may be a good candidate for replacement rather than repair.
