When you ensure the proper maintenance and care is performed on your furnace, you are probably going to enjoy a reliable heating system for years to come. Sometimes, no matter how vigilant you are at maintenance, you could be facing repairs or problems from time to time. It can be difficult to know what kind of problem you are dealing with when you don’t have training in heating systems. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning is here to share some troubleshooting tips to help you get to the bottom of your heating problems.

Furnace Having Electrical Problems

You shouldn’t see your lights start to flicker anytime your furnace kicks on. If you have noticed that this continues to happen in your home, it is important to seek out the help of a licensed electrician to help you get to the bottom of it. Electrical issues like this can raise the risk of electrical fire in your home and shouldn’t be ignored.

Furnace Making Loud Rumbling or Other Noise

There are times that your furnace may be running just fine, but you start to notice that there are loud noises that are present whenever it kicks on. There are several different types of noises and they can all mean different things. Here are some of the most common furnace noises and the issues you could be facing.
– Grinding: This can mean that you have problems with the actual motor in your furnace. It is something that you can’t take care of on your own and you need to call a professional.
– Rattling: Loud rattling could simply be loose panels that could use some tightening. Get out your screwdriver and see if that solves the problem.
– Popping: As your furnace works to push warm air through your home, there is some expanding that can happen in the ductwork to cause this sound.
– Squealing: This is usually a problem with the belts. They either need to be adjusted or replaced all together.

Furnace Short Cycling

Your furnace shouldn’t be turning on and off constantly throughout the day. This can be caused by a filter that needs to be replaced. If you can’t remember when the last time you replaced it was, you should start there. If the problem persists after replacing the filter, there could be a problem with the blower and you need the help of a professional.

Chemical or Other Funny Smell from Furnace

There are some odors that carry more serious concern than others. If you smell something burning or can smell gas at all, you need to turn your system off immediately and call professionals for help. Other odors could mean that you need to give your system a thorough cleaning to solve the problem.
