When it starts to get cold outside you want to make sure that you have a good working heater in your house. The house should be a place that you are comfortable and warm when you get home at the end of the day. There are several options that exist when you want to heat your home but one of the most common options is to have a furnace in your house. The furnace is a great option for any home whether you live in a extreme climate area or an area that still has a mild winter. The furnace is something that you need to make sure is taken care of and maintained to ensure that it is working properly. The furnace can start to have problems and there are signs that you can look for that will tell you that there is a problem with your furnace. These signs are telling you that your furnace will not be able to hold up through the winter. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning outlines what you can look for to tell if your furnace is not ready to take on the cold weather.

Weak Air Flow from Vents

One of the things that you want to make sure that you take into account when checking your furnaces use is the airflow. The airflow is something that you can use as a way to gauge if your furnace is working properly or it is in need of repair or maintenance. The best thing you can do is to make sure that you check that you have the same amount of air in the each and every room. If you start to notice that you have rooms that are hot while others are not getting the same amount of heat you want to call out a professional. They can come out and check for what is causing the issue with the airflow. It can be due to several different issues that are best left to a professional to decipher.

Bad Furnace Pilot Light

The furnace is using a pilot light as a way to create a spark that is then used to ignite the gas. The pilot light is something that is on at all times and needs to look healthy. You may not realize it but there are healthy looking flames and some that are telling you that they need some help. You can check the polite light to see if it is blue in color. If you have a light that is not blue and it has some yellow or orange it can mean that the light is starving. You want to make sure that the quality of light is good to ensure that your furnace is able to get through the whole winter season.

Energy Bill Increase

You want to make sure that you also look at the energy bills that you are getting as well. You might see a spike in your gas and electric bill that seems out of the ordinary. If you see a spike it is best to have your furnace looked at to be sure that it is not working inefficiently.
