We all know just how harsh and unforgiving the Northern Illinois winters can be. If your home’s furnace gives out unexpectedly in the middle of the cold season, your home can experience severe comfort issues that can quickly become dangerous when the temperatures dip below freezing.
For heating repair in Chicago’s North Shore and Chicago’s Northwest suburbs including Highland Park, Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire, and more, contact Ravinia Plumbing today.
Signs That Your Furnace Needs Repairs
If you want to know when your furnace has a problem that requires intervention by professionals, look for the following signs:
Low Indoor Air Quality
It’s important to keep the air you breathe free of harmful pollutants. If your indoor air quality worsens, schedule furnace maintenance. You may need a whole-house air cleaner or air purifier installed.
Inconsistent Heating
If you’re experiencing uneven heating across the home or aren’t getting any heat at all, you might have a clogged air filter, leaking ductwork, or an aging system. Contact Ravinia Plumbing to inspect your unit.
Low Airflow
Low airflow could be a sign your furnace needs to be inspected by a professional. Common causes of low airflow include damaged or leaky air ducts, closed dampers in air ducts, or a clogged furnace filter.
Strange Noises or Smells
Unexpected or unusual noises or smells coming from your furnace should be inspected immediately. Loud noises could indicate a loose or broken part, while strange smells might indicate the presence of mold.
What to Look for Before You Call
If you’re not sure whether your furnace issue is serious enough to warrant scheduling an inspection or repair service, there are a few minor things that you can check on your own before making the call. These will all be easy fixes that you should have no problem accomplishing yourself.
First, check to see if your blower fan is working properly. If it’s not moving or not blowing air as powerfully as it should, it may be time to buy a replacement. If the issue persists even with a brand-new blower fan installed, it is probably more serious, and you should call a heating, air conditioning, and indoor air quality technician to take a look.
Additionally, if your thermostat isn’t indicating that the temperature is getting warmer, it could be a problem with the thermostat itself rather than the furnace. Switch out the batteries for new ones and see if the issue persists.
