Do You Need Furnace Repairs?

For many residents of Northern Virginia, issues with their furnaces feel unexpected because they have gone so long without a professional inspection they are unaware of the status of their furnace. When you call Reddick & Sons, we can provide your furnace with a thorough inspection.

Whether you have had maintenance performed last month or last year, it’s still important to keep an eye out for these signs that your unit may need repairs:

• Poor air quality: Dust and debris in your home can aggravate allergies and make you sick more often, so if your home seems dusty and you feel ill, your furnace may be to blame.
• Fluctuating power: If your furnace turns off and on again after you've turned it on, then something is wrong and you need immediate servicing.
• Your energy bills are higher than usual: A furnace that isn’t working properly will work less efficiently, which can cause your bills to creep up.
• You hear odd noises when your unit is on: Banging, clanking, and whirring are not normal and should be investigated by a qualified heating expert.
• You smell a natural gas or burning odor: This is an urgent safety concern. Immediately turn off your furnace and call for repairs.

Why Maintaining Your Furnace Is Important

Your furnace is one of the most important parts of your home’s HVAC system but, unfortunately, many Northern Virginia homeowners put off having regularly scheduled furnace maintenance performed on their system. While these services may seem like no big deal or an unnecessary expense, failing to maintain your furnace may result in a sudden breakdown, issues with poor performance, or even shorter equipment lifespan leading to an early need for furnace replacement. All of these drawbacks will likely end up costing you more money to fix than the cost of annual maintenance appointments.

Here are some of the benefits you can enjoy from regular furnace maintenance:

• Improved indoor air quality
• Extended lifetime for your furnace
• Consistent temperatures throughout your home
• Reduced monthly energy bills
• Peace of mind to know that your furnace is fully operational

Strange Furnace Noises?

Strange sounds coming from your furnace can be an early warning sign of underlying issues that need attention. Furnaces generally operate quietly, so when you hear unusual noises, it's important to address them before they lead to more costly repairs or a system breakdown. Different sounds can indicate various problems, ranging from minor fixes to serious concerns that require professional attention. 

Common Furnace Noises and What They Mean:

• Banging or Popping: These sounds may signal that there’s an issue with your furnace’s ducts expanding and contracting, or that there's a buildup of gas in the system before it ignites.
• Squealing or Screeching: This often indicates a problem with the blower motor or fan belt, which might need lubrication or replacement.
• Rattling: A rattling sound could mean loose components inside the furnace or in the ductwork, which need to be tightened or secured.
• Humming: While some humming is normal, a louder than usual hum could point to an electrical issue with the motor.
• Clicking: If you hear constant clicking when the furnace starts, it could be a problem with the ignition system or a failing flame sensor.

Pay attention to these furnace sounds to catch potential problems early, and schedule a professional inspection if you notice anything unusual.
