How Do You Know Your Furnace Needs Repair?
To ensure that your furnace gets the immediate attention it needs, homeowners should be aware of signs that may indicate that your furnace is failing, including:
- Not enough heat: When your furnace doesn’t get hot enough, it can have a clogged air filter, blocked air vents, or system short-cycling.
- No heat or drastic temperature changes: Thermostat issues can cause your furnace to heat your home inconsistently or stop heating altogether.
- Cracked heat exchanger: You may notice soot buildup, corrosion, and rattling noises. A cracked heat exchanger needs immediate attention because it can lead to a carbon monoxide leak.
- Ignition issues: If your furnace doesn’t turn on at all, you may have a pilot light or electronic ignition problem.
- A yellow pilot light: A yellow pilot light indicates that the gas-to-air mixture in your furnace is off and that your air intake valve is clogged or blocked.
- Short-cycling: A furnace that’s constantly switching off and on, you may have an issue with your filter, thermostat, furnace blower, or another component.
- Rising utility costs: A sudden increase in your energy bill means your system is working inefficiently to heat your home, likely due to a faulty component.
Should I Repair or Replace My Heating System?
Most well-maintained furnaces last about 15 to 20 years. If your system is still fairly new and your system needs repairs that aren’t extremely costly, it’s best to opt for furnace repair.
However, if your system is older, frequently needs repairs, or needs repairs that cost more than 50% of the unit’s value, you may want to consider furnace replacement instead.
The team at Tom Drexler can give you honest advice about the health of your heating system and perform expert furnace replacement if you need a new system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I troubleshoot my heating system?
Some furnace issues can be due to simple problems. If your system isn’t operating properly, try these troubleshooting steps:
- Check your air filter and replace it if it’s dirty.
- Ensure your thermostat is properly set and doesn’t need new batteries.
- If you have an electric furnace, check for a tripped circuit breaker and reset it if necessary.
- If you have a gas furnace, make sure your pilot light is lit and blue.
How long does it take to fix a furnace?
Most furnace repairs can be done within one day, depending on the complexity of the issue. Simple repairs may take only a few hours, while a more involved repair may take the entire day. It could take longer if a part needs to be ordered.
How can I prevent heating breakdowns?
Routine heating maintenance is the best way to prevent breakdowns. During annual tune-ups, your HVAC technicians can address any minor issues with your furnace before they impact heating performance.
