Telltale Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair

Most homeowners don’t think about how their furnace is running – that is, not until the first cold day of the season comes around and their furnace is blowing nothing but cold air.  It’s important that you have your furnace serviced regularly to prevent these inconvenient surprises, however, sometimes a furnace breakdown can’t be prevented.  Keeping an eye and an ear out for signs of furnace trouble is one of the best ways to avoid a future breakdown. 

Furnaces are complex systems with many components that can malfunction over time. Here are some common signs of trouble indicating you need furnace repair:

• No heat or insufficient warming throughout the house
• Strange noises like banging, humming, or screeching
• Burning odor or traces of soot around vents
• A slight or strong gas smell coming from the furnace
• Short cycling on and off frequently
• Not turning on at all
• Pilot light won't stay lit
• Lack of service in the past year
• Pooling water underneath the furnace

Don't ignore these furnace issues! Even minor problems can lead to complete failure, leaving you without heat. Call ANC Heating & Air Conditioning right away if you notice any furnace problems.

Common Furnace Repairs We Perform

With decades of experience, ANC Heating & Air Conditioning can fix all types of furnace repair problems including:

1. Ignition Problems: If your furnace won't turn on or stay lit, it may have an issue with the ignition system. This could be due to a faulty thermocouple, pilot light, or electronic ignition.
2. Blower Motor Issues: The blower motor is responsible for circulating warm air throughout your home. If it fails, your furnace may not blow any air at all or may blow cold air instead of warm. We diagnose motor issues and get air flowing at the right CFM again.
3. Clogged or Dirty Filters: Over time, your furnace filters can become clogged with dust, dirt, and debris, reducing airflow and putting strain on your furnace. Regularly replacing your filters can help prevent this issue.
4. Thermostat Malfunctions: If your thermostat is not working properly or wired incorrectly, it can cause your furnace to cycle on and off frequently or not turn on at all. This can be due to dead batteries, loose wiring, or other issues.
5. Leaking Ductwork: If your ductwork is leaking, it can reduce the efficiency of your furnace and cause warm air to escape before it reaches your living spaces. Sealing leaks and insulating your ducts can help improve performance.
6. Heat Exchanger Replacement - Cracks in the heat exchanger can create carbon monoxide leaks. For your safety, we'll replace faulty heat exchangers.
7. Gas Line and Valve Repairs - Leaky gas lines and malfunctioning gas valves create safety risks. Our professionals fix all gas system issues and confirm safe operation.
8. Circuit Board Replacement - Faulty circuit boards can make the furnace act erratically, failing to provide adequate heat for your home. For smart controls, we update control boards with the latest technology.

These are just a few of the examples of our extensive furnace repair capabilities. Whatever the issue, we have the parts, knowledge, and skills to correctly fix your furnace.

ANC Furnace Repair Reviews From Google

I wanna give a massive thank you to Kevin Gallagher specifically! I had a very tricky issue come up and he really took the time to figure it out, even calling in for some more experienced backup to help him out. This was an issue that took multiple visits to get sorted out but he really wanted to see it through personally. And most importantly he made sure I could heat the house through the time it took to get parts and get it all resolved! He was very professional yet still friendly and easy to talk to about the work being done. Compared to other companies we have dealt with in the past, ANC has always been great to work with and is always our first call for any problems!

Had ANC out to service our propane furnace and water heater. Also asked for a spare furnace filter. The communication was way beyond what one might expect. Keith, our service tech, was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. He serviced both units, telling me what he was doing, and why. He left the extra air filter I had asked for. Scheduled from 12-4 PM window...sent me a tracking app to let me know where he was and he arrived exactly at the projected time. Terrific experience!

I was pleased with this service call. The service man was able to find the problem. Parts were ordered, received and installed within 2 days. One day earlier than expected. The service man was courteous and polite. Well done.
