When the weather begins to get cold, it’s time to start running your heater again. Like most homeowners, you probably have an HVAC system that contains a furnace. When it comes to proper care, regular maintenance is key to keeping your furnace running its best. If you suspect something is not right, it is essential to have it repaired as soon as possible. Check out the following warning signs that indicate the need for heater repair.
Strange Sounds
No furnace runs super quietly, but loud and odd noises are usually a sign some type of repair is necessary. If you hear banging or groaning when the heat kicks on, call a repair company to take a look.
Yellow Pilot Light
Look at your pilot light. Do you see a yellow flame? If so, the gasses could be off balance. The flame should be blue, and a color like yellow may indicate an issue such as carbon monoxide.
Poor Air Quality
Typically, poor air quality in the home can be caused by a heater in need of repairs. If your family is experiencing more allergies and illnesses than normal, it is a good idea to have your furnace checked. If it is not operating correctly, mold, dust and other irritants could be circulating in your home. To learn more about heater repair, contact B & K Services.
