4 Common Furnace Repairs

We hope you enjoy a comfortable and cozy winter in your well-heated Central Ohio home. More importantly than comfort, however, we want you to keep your residence safe throughout the winter and holidays. We’ve put together the following general home heating safety tips to follow to avoid any hazardous circumstances:

Yellow Pilot Light

If you’re seeing a yellow pilot light, you should definitely take this to heart, as it is a sure sign of what could be serious trouble. You should call us if your pilot light has a yellow flame. This means there’s a mixture of gases, and your furnace isn’t working properly. The proper color of a pilot light is blue, which indicates there’s a correct balance of gases. A yellow pilot light, however, means dangerous gases like carbon monoxide (CO) are mixing.

Spotty Temperatures

If the air feels cold and drafty in certain areas in your home, your furnace might be having performance issues. In the same way, if your home has warmer regions than others, you should call us to discuss the problem, and we can explore your options to resolve it for good.

Unusual Sounds

It is entirely normal for a furnace to make some minor sounds. For example, you should hear the faint hum of the motor even when it’s brand new. However, it’s abnormal for a furnace to make loud noises like grinding, whistling, or screeching noises. The difference between ordinary and healthy sounds and those that are warning sounds or unhealthy is usually apparent.

No Response to Thermostat

It’s our first natural response when we feel cold to try to warm things up by adjusting the thermostat. However, what do we do when we turn the heat up, and the furnace doesn’t do anything? If this happens, it could be a result of a bad thermostat, faulty wiring, or you could have leaks in your ductwork.

Central Ohio Furnace Repair

“Should I repair my furnace?” Every homeowner will find themselves asking this question eventually. The answer, however, is different for each home and set of circumstances. The following suggestions are based on our years of experience. If the system is less than 10 years old, it is worth repairing, especially if the cost of the repair is reasonable. However, if you have invested in constant repairs over the years – especially on a machine that is 10-15 years old or older, it’s likely ineffective. Don’t toss out hard-earned cash on a furnace that will likely break down soon. It makes more sense to invest in a new, energy-efficient heating system that gives you the peace of mind you need for the next several years of unpredictable winters.

If you’re unsure whether you should put money toward repairing your heating system or if you should replace it altogether, schedule a Diagnostic Service Call with Five Star Heating & Cooling. We’ll inspect your system, find the issue, and discuss with you the best options.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, YOU SHOULD REPAIR YOUR HEATING SYSTEM IF:

The repair is relatively cheap and simple
This is your first need for repair
The unit is under 15 years of age
The unit is under warranty
