What are the most common furnace repairs near me?

Your ductwork may require cleaning if you've noticed that your furnace isn't heating your home as effectively as it once did. By putting your hand in front of your vents and feeling how much air is coming out, you can determine the airflow.

Also, the majority of homeowners are aware of furnace filters, but they are unaware of how frequently to change their filters. Depending on the filter, you should generally change them every month or two. For a more precise timeline, refer to the packaging of your filter. Your furnace may not be heating the air as effectively as it should be, which is a telltale sign that you need to replace your filter. A new filter may also be necessary if your furnace seems to be working harder than it should be. This occurs as a result of the furnace having trouble passing air through a full filter.

Should I repair a furnace that is over 10 years old?

A furnace typically lasts 15 to 20 years before beginning to malfunction more frequently. If your furnace is ten years old or younger, repairs ought to work. It's time to think about replacement if it has been in use for 12 years or longer. Consult a professional if your furnace is older than ten years old but is still having problems.

Why is my furnace running but no heat?

There could be an obstruction if you turn on the furnace but no heat is produced. Insufficient airflow caused by clogged air filters may give the impression that the heater is not producing enough heated air.

Regular furnace filter replacement will help you avoid airflow issues.

Because not all of the hot air produced by the furnace passes through the vents and into your living spaces, closed or blocked vents can also make it seem as though the furnace isn't producing enough heat.

Look inside the vent if you notice low airflow coming from it to make sure nothing has fallen inside and obstructed it.

How much does it cost to repair a furnace?

The cost to repair a furnace varies widely, ranging from $100 to $1,500 or more. Simple issues like a faulty thermostat or a clogged air filter may be on the lower end, while complex problems like a damaged heat exchanger can be more expensive. Labor costs, replacement parts, and the extent of the repair contribute to the overall expense. Regular maintenance can prevent some issues, and obtaining quotes from HVAC professionals for accurate assessments helps in budgeting for furnace repairs, ensuring a comfortable and efficiently functioning heating system.

How do I find a qualified HVAC repair technician?

Asking neighbors, friends, and family for local certified HVAC contractor referrals can provide you with an honest assessment of a company. You may also get an insider's look at how much a contractor charges for similar services and whether or not their level of service will meet your household's specific needs. You can then cross-reference these references with the groups you locate using the internet to narrow down your options.

Why is my furnace making strange noises?

If your furnace is making strange noises, it could be due to several issues. A whistling sound might indicate a clogged air filter, restricting airflow. Banging or popping noises can occur when the ductwork expands or contracts, or if there’s a buildup of dirt on the furnace’s burners. Squealing sounds may signal a worn-out blower motor or loose fan belt. It’s important to have a professional technician inspect the furnace to determine the cause and prevent further damage.

Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair

There are a few ways to spot trouble early with your heating system. When you notice these warning signs, it means your heater will probably need a fix shortly:

Blowing Cold Air - If your furnace is blowing cold air instead of warm air, it may mean a problem with the heating element, ignition system, or a broken thermostat.

Struggles to Turn On - If your furnace is having difficulty starting up, it may be due to a faulty ignition system, a malfunctioning thermostat, or issues with the electrical components.

High Energy Bills - A sudden increase in energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage could signal that your furnace is not operating efficiently. This might be due to a variety of issues, including a faulty thermostat, poor insulation, or a worn-out furnace.

Odd Smells or Sounds - Unusual odors, such as a burning smell or strange sounds like banging, squealing, or rattling, can indicate problems with the furnace, such as a malfunctioning motor, a cracked heat exchanger, or loose components.

Uneven Temperatures - If some areas of your home are significantly colder than others, it may indicate issues with the distribution of warm air. This can be caused by problems with the ductwork, a malfunctioning blower motor, or a clogged air filter.

I keep calling Hurlburt for plumbing and hvac needs because every experience has been great. This last one was a furnace/ac install (oil conversion) Chris Rodriguez (the sales rep)was excellent. He made the experience fast and easy. I was concerned about the oil to gas conversion with winter just around the corner. He took care of all the details and arrangements to beat the cold weather deadlines. Consistently went above and beyond to make sure my experience was good and we fired up the system sooner than I expected! Great guy, great service.Thanks Chris, also Matt Mcvinnie the installer did excellent work, great customer service he answered all my questions and addressed all of my concerns. Thanks Matt! And Thanks to the whole group at Hurlburt for another great experience,
