It\u2019s the middle of winter\u2026 which doesn\u2019t mean much <\/em>for Florida residents. But let\u2019s\nface it, the contrast in temperature definitely makes winter feel cold to us in\ncomparison to summer! And when we get cold, we want a heating system that\nfunctions like it is supposed to, while doing so affordably, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to keep your furnace working well is with\nmaintenance. Professional, annual, furnace maintenance allows our technicians\nto fully inspect, clean, and adjust your furnace. This ensures that it operates\nas efficiently and effectively as possible, for as long <\/em>as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That doesn\u2019t mean, however, that your furnace will never <\/em>have a repair need between\nmaintenance sessions. In fact, due to natural wear and tear or even\nunprecedented damage, you could find yourself facing a few repair needs over\nthe course of the system\u2019s lifespan. The important thing here is to be aware of\nwhen your furnace is showing signs of repair needs, so you can call us right\naway, before those needs become much more urgent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on as we uncover some of the most common signs of a\nstruggling furnace! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Questionable Odors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll start here with a bit of a disclaimer\u2014when you turn\nyour furnace on for the first time each winter, it\u2019s probably going to have a\nslightly unpleasant smell. It\u2019s dust burning off the interior components of the\nsystem. The smell may linger for a few minutes, or sometimes even a couple of\ndays if your system hasn\u2019t been used very often or isn\u2019t maintained as often as\nit should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if after a few days you still notice that the system is churning out smelly air, there\u2019s very likely something wrong. Is the smell acrid? You may be looking at burning wires or overheating components. The best thing you can do for the system and your safety, in this case, is shut off the system and give us a call! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lukewarm Air from the Vents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the point of paying for heat if the air coming\nthrough your vents is only lukewarm? Again, it doesn\u2019t get as bitterly cold\nhere as it does in other areas of the country, but still, you want your heater\nto actually heat <\/em>your home, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lukewarm air can be the sign of a number of things, such as\na malfunctioning heat exchanger in an electric furnace, or ductwork damage\nletting cold outside air through. The only way to have this problem adequately\ndiagnosed is by giving our team a call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher Than Average Heating Bills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you looked at your energy bills this winter to discover\nthat they\u2019re a lot higher than they were this same time last year, or a lot\nhigher than what your neighbors are paying? This is a sign that something <\/em>is causing the system to work\ninefficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be that components need to be adjusted, or you have\nbreached ductwork. Our team can assess the situation and give you an accurate\ndiagnosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
