Furnaces are a common heating system throughout Arlington, WA. That\u2019s because you rely on your heating system for many, many months of the year here in the Pacific Northwest. Furnaces are generally viewed as a tried and true method of heating a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that\u2019s why when a furnace begins to struggle to perform, you\u2019ll notice it almost immediately. From poor airflow to a furnace that blows cold air instead of hot, let\u2019s go over some signs that your furnace needs some TLC. It\u2019s essential that you call us for furnace repair<\/a> at the first sign of trouble.  These complex machines have safety concerns as well, which is why it\u2019s never wise to try and fix them on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Inadequate Airflow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your furnace is running, but your home is taking forever to get warm. What gives? Put your hand in front of one of the vents. The airflow should be strong and steady. If it\u2019s not, the first thing to check is the air filter. If it\u2019s dirty and clogged, this hinders your furnace\u2019s ability to have a strong airflow output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that doesn\u2019t fix the issue, it could be an issue with the blower fan. The blower fan\u2019s job is to blow the heated air through your ductwork. If it\u2019s not working, it\u2019s not something that\u2019s going to get better on its own. Give us a call. You don\u2019t want to keep paying for your furnace to run if it can\u2019t deliver the hot air to your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cold Air Instead of Hot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even worse than weak airflow is when the airflow is strong, but your furnace is blowing cold air instead of hot air! A furnace that\u2019s blowing cold air could be caused by a number of issues such as an improper thermostat setting, a dirty air filter, a faulty fan limit switch, or something else entirely. Contact us to restore your furnace\u2019s heating output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Strange Noises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your furnace is working properly, it\u2019ll run fairly silently. Other than the sounds of start up and shut down, and the sound of air flowing through the vents, you really shouldn\u2019t hear your furnace much at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why sudden and strange noises can be quite concerning. Some noises that a furnace in distress will make include banging, knocking, screeching, booming, grating, scraping, and the sound of metal on metal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you own a gas furnace, a booming noise is particularly concerning because this means there\u2019s an issue with the ignition process. Whatever loud sound your furnace is making, it\u2019s best to call us to take a look at it sooner than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Thermostat Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes your home\u2019s thermostat is unable to properly read the exact temperature of your home and will think that it\u2019s cooler or hotter than your home actually is. If the thermostat thinks it\u2019s a few degrees warmer than it actually is, then your thermostat won\u2019t tell the furnace to turn on even when it\u2019s colder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
