What Causes Your Furnace to Stop Working Properly?
The most common reasons we see for furnace breakdowns:
- A dirty blower is causing equipment failure. Insufficient air blowing across a heat exchange can cause it to overheat and fail.
- Dirty air filters restricting airflow, causing short cycling
- A dirty flame sensor covered in gunk can turn off your furnace by failing to sense the flame.
- Dirty burners have trouble lighting.
- Wiring and electrical issues
Odd Smell from Your Furnace
As fall approaches, it’s time to fire up the furnace. Though you may detect a faint smoky scent coming from your unit as accumulated dust and debris is burned away – don’t worry! This natural phenomenon can create some initial odors but should quickly dissipate. If strange smells linger or become more pungent however, make sure to get in touch with an experienced technician right away for your furnace repair services; this could signify something inside your furnace has gone awry such as a gas leak or even burning materials!
Cold or Lukewarm Air Temperatures
Don’t be left out in the cold this winter! If your furnace isn’t keeping up with chilly conditions, it could signal a leaky air duct system. Fortunately, our technicians know just where to look and how to make sure drafts don’t ruin your holiday season by properly insulating all of those hard-to-reach spots in yours crawlspace or attic. Keep warm and save energy – call us today for help with your furnace repair!
Constant Thermostat Adjustments
Making sudden, drastic adjustments to your thermostat can wreak havoc on a furnace. Constant changes put an unnecessary strain on the system and cause it to work harder than necessary – draining more electricity from power lines and leading to costly furnace repairs or replacements down the road. Show kindness towards your heating unit by avoiding abrupt temperature alterations!
Your Furnace Has Trouble Starting
Experience the frustration of a malfunctioning unit no more! We can help solve your problem with just one call – it could be something as mundane as dirty or faulty pilot, an issue connected to the natural gas line, frayed wiring, dead batteries…or if you’re feeling lucky – maybe even that thermostat baking in direct sunlight on top of hot appliances and vents. Don’t wait any longer for your furnace repair; give us a shout today and let’s get your resolution rolling!
Discolored Pilot Light
In order to ensure the safety of your home and well-being, it is important to regularly check if your pilot light has a healthy blue flame. If you spot an orange or yellow hue instead, that indicates there’s too much carbon monoxide in the air – something which could jeopardize both yours and your family’s health. Furnace repair services must be sought out right away as this issue should not be taken lightly!
Persistent Noises
Do you hear constant noises from your furnace? Pay attention to the sounds you hear. Doing so can help determine the source of your problem:
- Belt or fan issues usually squeal
- Loose parts in an air pump or condenser can bang around
- Warped fan blades and broken motors often scrape
- A de-centered blower wheel might thump
- A faulty gas valve can rumble abnormally loud
- Loose-fitting metal housing fasteners may rattle
- Compressors or fans with trapped debris can cause clanking
- Sheet metal air ducts can pop due to air pressure
- Broken air filters obstructed vents, and leaky ductwork often hiss
- Refrigerant leaks regularly whistle
Determining the cause of HVAC sounds can be tricky. That’s why Dependaworthy One Hour techs are always available to help you detect the underlying issue and deliver fast solutions.

- Furnaces too powerful for your ductwork
- Unevenly distributed or obstructed vents

- A dirty air filter restricting airflow
- Condensate switch defects
- A corroded flame sensor
Failing to maintain your furnace regularly heightens the chances of short-cycling issues. Keep your heating system Dependaworthy by investing in regular maintenance and avoid costly furnace repair.

Poor Air Quality
Your furnace is like a conductor of dust, blowing all kinds of pollutants throughout your home every time it turns on. This can affect air quality in the long run, leading to respiratory illness and allergic reactions if regular maintenance isn’t done. To keep you and your family safe from dirt, allergens, contaminants, microorganisms – even insect droppings! – ductwork should be cleaned regularly to remove any grime or dander that’s collected over time.
Dirty Filters
Keep your heating system and home clean, comfortable, and free of allergens by regularly replacing the air filter in your furnace. Doing so will help reduce airborne pollutants from entering the environment inside your home as well as improving energy efficiency for a wallet-friendly winter season! For optimum results, change out filters every one to three months – easy steps now can make all the difference when it comes time to turn up that thermostat again soon.
Here’s another pro tip: higher quality air filters trap even smaller contaminants, resulting in healthier air. Top-quality filters are rated by MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value). Your Dependaworthy One Hour tech can help you choose the right air filter for your home.
Carbon Monoxide Detection
Furnaces using natural gas, propane or oil could be compromising the health of your family without warning. Invisible and odorless carbon monoxide (CO) can leak into homes from faulty equipment – an often overlooked safety hazard with potentially deadly consequences. Symptoms to look out for include dizziness, headaches and shortness of breath that may lead to long-term heart/brain damage if left untreated. Act now: ensure you have adequate protection in place for a safe home environment!
Living with a combustion furnace? Protect your home from hazardous gas emissions by installing a carbon monoxide detector! If the alarm goes off, turn off your unit in an instant and call professionals to ensure no toxic gases have infiltrated the air of your abode. Your family’s safety depends on it- don’t wait any longer!
Energy Bill Cost Increases
An inefficient heating system can cause your energy bills to skyrocket. From duct leaks, dirty filters and faulty thermostats to a host of other issues, ensuring that every component within the system is functioning well should be top priority for any homeowner hoping to save money on their utility costs from furnace repair!
Does your furnace feel like it’s struggling to keep up? Are you noticing an increase in energy bills? When a heating system has reached its limit of years of service, installing a modern heat pump or ductless system could be the efficient solution. Not only will this provide reliable comfort for many seasons to come, but also save money on utilities over time!
