Why Is My Furnace Malfunctioning?
Just like other appliances, when your furnace stops working, there could be a couple of different things that could cause a shutdown. Begin investigating your furnace by first checking the thermostat. Your thermostat should be set to HEAT and full of charged batteries. If your thermostat is functioning in good condition, the next thing you need to do is check if your furnace is still on and you didn’t blow a fuse. If you find that you still cannot figure out what is wrong with your malfunctioning furnace, you may need to get in touch with professionals.
Why Are Unusual Sounds Developing From My Furnace?
Although there are noises that may come from your furnace; however, it should not be making any unusual sounds. Unusual sounds usually sound like a louder buzzing, humming, or rattling. If you notice that your furnace is starting to develop these sounds, your blower might be going out or completely out.
When Should I Schedule Maintenance Services for My Furnace?
Scheduling routine services are essential for the functioning of your furnace. You can benefit from routine services by knowing ahead of time any early arising issues or damages that have already occurred, but you may not have noticed. In addition, these services should be scheduled before it gets too cold outside to prepare your home ahead of time for the winter season.
