Furnace Services Tips
Schedule a professional furnace tune-up every autumn to ensure your system is ready for the winter heating season.
Replace your air filters every 1 to 3 months to maintain proper airflow and improve your furnace's energy efficiency.
Keep the area around your furnace clear of storage items to prevent fire hazards and ensure easy access for technicians.
If your furnace is not working, check that your thermostat is set to 'heat' and that the furnace switch is in the 'on' position before calling for help.
Listen for unusual noises or watch for a strange furnace smell, as these are often early warning signs of mechanical failure or safety issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
What factors influence the cost of furnace repair or replacement?
Costs depend on the complexity of the repair, the type of furnace, the age of the unit, and the specific parts required. For replacements, the size of your home and the efficiency rating (AFUE) of the new unit are key price factors.
Why is my furnace running but blowing cold air?
This is often caused by a dirty flame sensor, a pilot light issue, or a malfunctioning igniter. It could also indicate that your burner is not firing correctly or that there is an issue with the thermostat signal.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my furnace?
If your furnace is over 15 years old and requires frequent, expensive repairs, replacement is often more cost-effective. A professional technician can help you evaluate the long-term savings of an upgrade.
What is the typical lifespan of a furnace and what are the signs of failure?
Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years. Warning signs include rising energy bills, uneven heating, frequent short cycling, or the unit making loud banging or squealing noises.
What AFUE rating and size should I choose for Arvada's climate?
In Colorado, we recommend high-efficiency units with an AFUE rating of 90% or higher. Proper sizing is critical; a unit that is too large or too small will struggle to maintain comfort and will increase your heating bills.
What are the common safety risks associated with gas furnaces?
The most serious concerns include carbon monoxide leaks caused by a cracked heat exchanger and malfunctions with the ignition system. Always ensure you have working carbon monoxide detectors installed near your furnace.
Should I choose a gas or electric furnace?
Gas furnaces generally provide hotter air and are often more economical in cold climates like Arvada, while electric furnaces are typically easier to install and require less maintenance.
How does proper furnace sizing affect my comfort and bills?
An improperly sized furnace will either short cycle (turn on and off too frequently) or run constantly without reaching the set temperature. Both scenarios lead to unnecessary wear and tear and higher energy costs.
What should I expect during a professional furnace installation?
A licensed technician will remove your old unit, inspect the ductwork, install the new furnace, calibrate the system for your home's specific needs, and test it to ensure safe, efficient operation.
How can I lower my heating bills with a new furnace?
Upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace with a variable-speed blower motor can significantly reduce energy consumption. Regular maintenance also ensures your system operates at peak performance, keeping your monthly bills lower.
