Signs Your Furnace is Experiencing Issues

How do you know if your furnace is doing its job? It can be hard to spot a faulty heater if you think its performance is normal. Watch for these signs that your furnace might need attention and consider scheduling furnace repair in O’Fallon, IL with us. 

  • No Heat in One or More Locations: If your living room feels warm but your bedroom stays cold, your furnace might need repair. Uneven heating signals that you should call a professional HVAC Services company.
  • Detection of a Funny Smell/Gas Odor: You may notice fuel smells when you first turn on the furnace each season, but the scent should go away quickly. If a strange or gas-like odor remains, contact our team to check your system.
  • Blower Fan Continues to Run: The furnace fan should only run when heating your home. If it is set to “AUTO” but keeps running, your system may need attention.
  • System Runs Constantly: A furnace that runs all the time may have a clogged blower or require more furnace maintenance to operate correctly. 
  • System Cycles On and Off Rapidly: If your furnace starts and stops quickly and often, something may be wrong with the system. 
  • Hearing Odd Noises (Squealing/Rumbling): While some noise is normal, strange sounds such as squeaks, pops, or rumbles can signal a repair need.
  • Thermostat Not Working: If you can’t set your thermostat or it shuts off entirely, your furnace may need a checkup.

Should I Repair or Replace My Furnace?

A furnace is a major home investment. Knowing when to seek a repair or consider replacing helps protect your comfort and saves money over time.

Choosing to repair or replace depends on the equipment’s age, service history, and how reliably it heats your space during Belleville’s coldest months. Furnaces in Illinois work extra hard during January and February, which can increase wear and tear. Regular checkups from a trusted furnace maintenance company in Belleville catch small issues before they grow. We factor in Belleville’s climate and your budget when talking through your options, giving guidance that fits your safety and comfort needs through every cold snap.

It’s better to repair your heater when…

  • The unit is less than 15 years old.
  • The repair costs are less than half the cost of replacement.
  • Your unit has been properly maintained.

It’s better to replace your heater when…

  • The unit is older than 15 years old.
  • Your energy bills keep rising.
  • Your heater has needed multiple repairs in the last two years.
