Don’t Wait Until Your Heating System Fails
As temperatures continue to drop across Chicagoland’s south suburbs, homeowners need to stay vigilant about their heating systems. While modern furnaces are built to last, they still require regular maintenance and occasional repairs. Here are five critical warning signs that indicate it’s time to call a professional for furnace service.
1. Unusual Noises
If your furnace is making banging, squealing, or rattling sounds, this could indicate loose components or mechanical problems that require immediate attention.
2. Rising Energy Bills
An unexpected spike in your heating costs might mean your furnace is working harder than necessary to maintain comfortable temperatures.
3. Uneven Heating
Cold spots throughout your home often signal distribution problems or a system that’s struggling to maintain consistent heating.
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
If your system keeps turning on and off repeatedly, it may be oversized or experiencing thermostat issues.
