Furnace Maintenance
We regularly tune up our cars, so why not our furnaces? Regular furnace tune-ups can keep your furnace running smoothly while also detecting problems that could lead to dangerous hazards in the home. When your furnace is operating efficiently, you can also keep your energy bills in check.

Avoiding Furnace Repair Scams
If you’re not familiar with furnaces, it can be challenging to understand if an HVAC technician is being honest and straightforward or if they’re trying to make you spend money on repairs that aren’t necessary. Even worse is when someone tries to convince you to buy a new furnace when your current furnace is perfectly operational!
One of the most common “furnace repair scams” you might encounter is a repair technician offering a free or cheap inspection where they inevitably discover some sort of a crack. This supposed crack will be leaking carbon monoxide, which is definitely scary!
There are a couple of things you can do to avoid falling into this trap:
- Ask the technician to show you evidence of the crack. A reputable technician will readily show you what they see. If the technician dodges this question, it’s likely a scam.
- Ask for proof of a carbon monoxide leak. Often, these scam artists will use scare tactics to tell you that the crack is causing carbon monoxide to leak into your home. Reputable technicians carry specialized tools in their trucks to detect carbon monoxide, including combustion analyzers and ambient carbon monoxide meters.
Signs Your Furnace Needs to Be Repaired
Not everything in life comes with a warning sign, but furnaces will often give you clues that they are in need of repair.
While proper and routine maintenance can help you avoid many of the issues that lead to major and emergency repairs, you may still encounter an issue occasionally that needs to be addressed.
Common signs that your furnace needs to be repaired include:
One of the first signs that something is wrong is that your furnace doesn’t seem to heat the room as well as it once did. A variety of issues could lead to this problem, including broken parts, faulty pilot lights, and even age. Our HVAC technician will inspect your furnace to identify the root cause of the issue.
A furnace that doesn’t turn on can’t do its job! The issue could be the thermostat, a faulty pilot light, dirty air filters, or something else. Our technicians are expert troubleshooters, so we’ll be able to address the problem in no time!
Also referred to as short cycling, a furnace that turns on too many times per hour could indicate that something is wrong. Your furnace and thermostat should work together to maintain a fairly constant temperature in a room based on the settings you select.
If you hear anything beyond a subtle hum or air flow, your furnace may be on the fritz. Examples of strange noises include grinding, squealing, whirring, or vibrational shaking.
Furnaces aren’t supposed to emit a smell, but when they’re malfunctioning, you might notice a strange odor. Examples of odors you might encounter include burning or metallic. These could be signs of burned out wiring or a failing fan.
If you smell gas, that is sometimes normal, but it should dissipate quickly and be very faint. If the odor is strong or it lingers, it could be a sign of a leak. Be sure to contact a technician immediately to troubleshoot the issue.
Older furnaces are equipped with pilot lights, while newer furnaces have an electronic ignition. A flickering pilot light causes your furnace to work harder, and it could be a symptom of a larger issue.
Over time, your furnace may become less efficient. This is especially true if you’ve missed a few maintenance cycles. If your utility bills have gone up significantly from one winter to the next, the cause might be a furnace that isn’t operating optimally.
On average, furnaces last about ten to twelve years. A well-maintained thermostat could potentially last 15 to 20 years, however. The thing to keep in mind with the age of your furnace is that the older it gets, the more likely it is to break down or require repairs.
Be sure to contact a technician before a minor issue becomes a bigger problem.
Furnace Service Frequently Asked Questions
Our technicians have experience in all major brands of furnaces, including Daikin, American Standard, Frigidaire, and Maytag. We have a motto here at 888 Heating: if it’s in your house, we most likely have the expertise to work on it!
The short answer is that you won’t know for certain until a technician inspects it. Just because your furnace seems operational doesn’t make it safe. By having an HVAC technician inspect your furnace annually, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that safety issues are detected early.
Preventative maintenance can help your furnace last longer, allowing you to avoid costly repairs. A well-maintained furnace is also more energy efficient, which could result in lower energy bills.
It’s recommended to perform preventive maintenance on a furnace once per year. At 888 Heating, we offer 888 CARE Program memberships, which include free seasonal maintenance and a 20% discount on furnace repairs.
The cost to repair a furnace will vary depending on the type of furnace you have and the issue it’s having. Minor repairs can be relatively inexpensive, while more extensive repairs cost more to resolve. At 888 Heating, we provide estimates with transparent pricing. We offer fair rates, a warranty on parts and labor, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
