8 Signs It’s Time For Furnace Repair

1. Some areas of your home are colder than others.

Your furnace should warm your entire home. If it’s not and some rooms in your home are too cold, contact one of our HVAC technicians for furnace maintenance or repair.

2. Your monthly energy bills spike.

If you aren’t really using your furnace more, but your home heating bills are suddenly higher than they should, it could be that your furnace is inefficient and is due for repair.

3. Unusual sounds come from the furnace.

All HVAC systems make some noise, but if your furnace is making odd noises—especially clanging—it’s a sign you need it examined by an expert.

4. Your furnace keeps turning off and on.

Known as short cycling, a furnace that keeps starting and stopping instead of turning on and completing its cycle most likely needs repair from a skilled HVAC technician like the team members at Kirkfield Heating & Air Conditioning.

5. The heating system won’t turn on.

If your furnace won’t start, that’s definitely a sign you should call for HVAC repair. If it turns out you need furnace replacement, our HVAC technicians in Winnipeg can help you select a new eco-friendly furnace that’s right for your home.

6. Water leaking around your HVAC system.

Any type of water coming from your furnace is a sign there’s something amiss that needs prompt HVAC repair. We’ll offer a diagnosis and present your repair options, so you can decide which works best for your home and budget.

7. Your furnace is making an unpleasant small.

Furnaces shouldn’t smell bad. If there’s a persistent bad smell coming from your furnace, it’s a sign you require repair. If you think you smell gas or a rotten egg smell, it could be a gas leak and requires immediate action: evacuate your home right away and call for help once you are safe.

8. Not enough air is coming from vents in your home.

From problems with your ventilation system to something wrong with your furnace’s blower motor or a clogged furnace filter, insufficient or weak airflow from vents could be caused by a number of problems that may require HVAC repair, system maintenance or furnace installation.

FAQ: Furnace Repair

Common signs include cold spots, new or loud sounds coming from the unit, the furnace turning on and off more than normal, odd smells when the heat runs, or higher-than-expected heating costs. If your system isn’t keeping up, it’s smart to schedule a diagnostic.

If you suspect a gas leak or a carbon monoxide alarm goes off, shut the system down, leave the home, and contact emergency services and your HVAC company. For minor symptoms, it’s often okay to run it briefly, but continued operation can worsen the damage.
This can happen due to incorrect thermostat mode, a dirty air filter, pilot or ignition problems, a dirty flame sensor, or overheating that triggers a safety limit. A technician can test the system safely and recommend the proper repair.
Many repairs can be completed in one visit, but the timeline depends on the issue, system accessibility, and parts availability. After diagnosing the problem, your technician can outline next steps and timing.
A furnace may be a better candidate for replacement if it needs frequent repairs, is older and inefficient, or has major component issues. If the problem is minor and the system has been well maintained, repair is often the most practical route. A pro can help you compare options.
