Generally speaking, homeowners will want to have their furnace maintenance at least once a year. Preferably, we recommend homeowners book an appointment with us in the early fall before the temperature begins to drop. By doing so, homeowners can make sure that their furnace is prepared to work as efficiently as possible during the colder months when they are more likely to rely on their HVAC unit to heat their home. In addition, booking a yearly maintenance appointment in the early fall will provide enough time for any repairs or replacements to be conducted before the temperature drops in the event that your certified HVAC technician discovers any issues during your maintenance appointment.

Most of the time, when there is something wrong with your HVAC system, you will be able to tell. However, not all of the signs are as noticeable as others. Therefore, here is a list of some of the signs that you can look out for around your home that may indicate that it’s time to call a professional HVAC technician to your home: 

• There are strange noises coming from your furnace every time you turn it on. 
• You notice odd odours coming from your furnace. 
• You are finding it challenging to keep your home warm throughout the winter. 
• You have noticed a significant increase in your home’s monthly energy bill. 
• Your thermostat reading is inaccurate to the temperature you are experiencing in your home. 
• Your furnace will turn on and off at random, unexplained times. 
• Your furnace will not turn on at all. 
• You and your family are experiencing unexplained allergies or cold-like symptoms that have extended for a long period of time. 
• There is mould and mildew growing in or around your furnace. 

Diagnosing and repairing your furnace system before problems turn into more costly repairs is key to ensuring that you are not left paying for damages that could have otherwise been prevented. By maintaining your furnace at least once a year, homeowners can rest assured knowing that their furnace is functioning optimally as possible and that all mechanical, electrical, and other components of their HVAC system are up to date and working.

With over 35 years of experience working in the HVAC industry, M&K Heating and Air Conditioning have had the opportunity to work with thousands of homeowners and furnaces. Therefore, when it comes to furnace repairs, we’ve truly seen it all! Here are some of the most common furnace repairs we have experienced throughout our time in business: 

• Thermostat malfunctions: Low batteries, inconsistent temperature readings, or setting malfunctions.
• Dirty and clogged filters: Clogged, dirty filters can lead to a reduction in your home’s energy efficiency, can lower your indoor air quality, and lead to health concerns.
• Pilot light malfunctions: Flickering pilot lights, weak pilot lights, and strange color pilot lights can all indicate increased amounts of carbon monoxide in your furnace if it is powered by gas.
• Damaged heat exchanger: Your heat exchanger is responsible for heating the cooled air before it is pushed back into your home. When this is damaged, you will be unable to properly heat your home.
• Loose or damaged parts: Loose mechanical parts or damaged mechanical parts are often indicated by strange noises that come from your furnace when it is operating.
• The furnace does not blow out air: This is often caused by built-up debris that has clogged your blower. When this happens, you will be unable to properly heat your home.
• Wear and tear of blower belt: When the blower belt malfunctions, you will notice that your furnace may make weird noises as it operates, which can lead to a decrease in energy efficiency.

Is your furnace not heating? If the answer is yes, then there are many reasons why this may be happening. One of the most common causes of your furnace being unable to heat your home is a dirty or clogged air filter. When this filter collects too much dirt, dust, hair, and other debris, it can significantly decrease your furnace’s airflow. When this occurs, your heat exchanger will often overheat and shut down before it has actually heated your home to your preferred temperatures. As a result, although your furnace has shut off, your home will still be cold. On the other hand, you may have a problem with your thermostat. Typically, when your thermostat malfunctions, it provides different temperature settings. When these are inaccurate, it can affect the heating cycle you have programmed. 

If you are experiencing difficulties with your furnace, then it’s time to call the professional HVAC team at M&K Heating and Air Conditioning for assistance. We’ll send someone to your house as soon as possible to take a look and repair the problem in no time so you can get back to your daily routine.
