How Do I Know If My Furnace Is Broken?
All types of heating systems, like gas, electric, and oil furnaces, ductless mini-splits, and heat pumps, are complex systems that require professional repair.
Recognizing the signs of an issue early can save you from major breakdowns. Here are common signs you may need heating repairs:
- Inconsistent temperatures: If different rooms in your home have different temperatures, your system is likely malfunctioning.
- Unusual noises: Loud banging, clanging, or screeching sounds can point to mechanical problems.
- Higher utility bills: If you’ve noticed a sudden spike in your energy bill without an increase in heating use, it might mean your system is working harder than necessary due to faulty or dirty components.
- Frequent short-cycling: If your system turns on and off more frequently than normal, it’s overworking to keep your space heated.

We recommend routine heating maintenance to help you avoid emergency situations. Regular inspections and tune-ups from our skilled technicians can catch potential issues early, keeping your system running smoothly and preventing unexpected breakdowns.
Furnace Repair vs. Replacement
Sometimes repairs aren’t enough to keep your system functioning reliably. If your heating system has significant issues, it might be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continue to make repairs.
Here are signs that a heating replacement may be the better option:
- Frequent repairs: If your system needs repairs multiple times a year, you may be better off investing in a more reliable replacement.
- Costly repairs: If you need repairs that cost more than 50% of the unit’s value, it’s more cost-effective to invest in a new unit.
- Age of system: Most heating systems last 15 to 20 years. If yours is within or beyond this range, investing in a new, energy-efficient unit may be a good choice.
If you’re unsure whether to repair or replace, we can help you decide based on your home’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes heating problems?
Heating issues can stem from many factors, including worn-out components, dirty filters, thermostat malfunctions, and insufficient maintenance.
How do I troubleshoot my heating system?
- Check that your thermostat is set to heat with the fan on auto.
- Replace the air filters.
- Flip the circuit breaker on if it tripped.
If issues persist, it’s time to call a professional.
Why are my ducts making a popping sound when the furnace starts or stops?
Popping sounds are usually caused by the ducts expanding and contracting due to temperature changes. This can be normal, but if the noise is excessive, it could indicate an issue that needs ductwork repair.
