Signs You Need Furnace Repair

While some are more obvious than others, there is a wide range of signs indicating a furnace needing repairs. 

If your energy bills are unusually high, the chances are that you need an oil furnace repair or replacement, or even just an oil furnace filter replacement. 

Additional signs that furnace repair or replacement may be required include, but are not limited to, the following:

• If your furnace fails to warm your house properly, the system may be out of balance, a blower belt could be loose, or a burner may be dirty.
• If your furnace is failing to turn on and isn’t working at all, you have a problem on your hands. Over time, furnaces can wear out. The lifespan of an oil furnace is around 25 years.
• If strange noises are coming from your furnace, the belts may be worn or damaged, too loose or too tight, or the motor may need to be lubricated, and the burner cleaned.
• If your furnace is turning on and off repeatedly, the system’s oil filter may be dirty, the motor may need lubricant, or a blower could be clogged.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Furnace?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your furnace can be challenging. The best course of action is to have a professional inspect your system to assess its condition. However, there are a few signs that it's time to consider a furnace replacement. If your oil furnace is more than 15–20 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has become inefficient and is driving up your energy bills, upgrading to a newer model could save you money in the long run. 

Modern oil furnaces are designed to be more energy-efficient, providing better heating performance while reducing operating costs. Plus, an outdated furnace can create safety concerns, such as carbon monoxide leaks, which shouldn't be ignored. 

Whatever your repair or replacement needs are, our team is here to help. We offer expert guidance, quality service, and efficient installation to keep your home warm and safe. Don’t wait until winter hits—schedule your inspection today!

How Can a Damaged Furnace Impact Your Home?

If your oil furnace is not functioning properly, it can not only leave you and your family without heat in the winter, but it can also cause an excess amount of soot and clogged air filters, which can cause your indoor air quality to drastically diminish. Poor indoor air quality can cause exacerbated breathing issues, such as asthma and allergies. 

A damaged furnace will also negatively impact your home by increasing your monthly energy bills. Overall, a damaged furnace is a safety issue. It can cause a house fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, and much more. 

Because of this, it’s imperative that you regularly check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, but also that you address a damaged furnace sooner than later.
