Typically, there are noticeable signs if something needs to be fixed with your furnace. If you see these warning signs, getting a repair technician out as soon as possible is important.

If your furnace has broken components, other parts may take on extra stress, reducing its life expectancy. Additionally, broken furnaces may pose potential health and safety concerns, especially if it uses natural gas. The sooner you can fix and repair these problems, the better off you will be.

Watch for these signs of furnace failure:

• Strange Odors:It’s normal for your furnace to emit a slight burning smell the first few times it starts up at the beginning of the cold season. However, if you smell a lingering burning odor, noxious melting plastic, or even moldy smells, a problem needs investigating. Strong smells from the exhaust could be a sign of poor combustion. You can’t smell carbon monoxide, but you can smell Aldehydes, a byproduct of bad combustion.

• Gas Leaks: This is one of the most apparent problems. If you smell a gas leak, you should immediately turn off the furnace and call an HVAC specialist to deal with the problem. Call your natural gas company and ask them to shut off your gas, and get yourself and your family out of the house.

• Unit Won’t Start Easily: Furnaces should start up easily without problems. If you need to restart it multiple times a day, get a professional to look at it.

• Uneven Heating: If your heater isn’t heating your whole house well, it’s time to get it serviced. There could be clogs, inefficient combustion, or failing components.

• Unexpected Energy Bill Spike: If you see a big jump in your energy bill that you weren’t expecting, there is some problem causing your furnace to consume much more fuel than it usually would.

• Strange Noises: If you hear banging, clanging, rattling, whining, groaning, or abnormal sounds, there’s probably a broken or loose component.

• Water Leaks: If you notice a puddle forming around your furnace, you have a water leak. This is an easy fix if dealt with quickly.
