Is your home’s heating system trying to tell you something?
As temperatures drop across New Jersey, many homeowners in Englewood and surrounding communities are firing up their furnaces for the season. At Katham Industries, we’ve seen countless cases where early warning signs of furnace problems were overlooked, leading to more serious issues during the coldest months.
Here are five critical indicators that your furnace needs professional attention:
1. Unusual Noises
When your furnace starts making banging, whistling, or rattling sounds, it’s often a sign of mechanical problems that require immediate attention. These noises aren’t just annoying; they’re your system’s cry for help.
2. Rising Energy Bills
If you’ve noticed your heating costs climbing without a corresponding increase in usage, your furnace might be losing efficiency and working harder than necessary to maintain temperature.
3. Uneven Heating
Cold spots throughout your home often indicate distribution problems or a system that’s struggling to perform its job effectively.
4. Yellow Pilot Light
A healthy pilot light should be blue. If yours is yellow, it could indicate dangerous carbon monoxide production.
5. Frequent Cycling
When your furnace turns on and off more frequently than usual, it’s often a sign of impending system failure.
Don’t wait until your system fails completely. Regular maintenance can prevent most major issues, and early intervention often means simpler, less expensive repairs.
