8 Ways to Tell if You Need Furnace Repair

1. Some rooms in your home are colder than others.

Your furnace should heat every room in your home. If it’s not and some rooms in your home are too cold, call one of our HVAC technicians for furnace maintenance or repair.

2. Your home’s energy bills increase suddenly.

If you aren’t really using your furnace more, but your home heating bills are increasing more than they should, it could be that your furnace is inefficient and needs repair.

3. Loud noises come from the furnace.

All heating and cooling systems make some noise, but if your furnace starts to make weird noises—especially grinding—it’s a sign you need it examined by an expert.

4. Your furnace turns off and on frequently.

Referred to as short cycling, a furnace that keeps starting and stopping instead of turning on and running steadily through its cycle most likely requires repair from an expert HVAC technician like the team members at Rapids Sheet Metal Works Inc.

5. The heating system won’t power up.

If your furnace doesn’t start, that’s without a doubt a sign you should get HVAC repair. If it turns out you need furnace replacement, our HVAC technicians in Wisconsin Rapids can help you choose a new energy-efficient furnace that’s right for your home.

6. Water leaking around your HVAC system.

Any type of water coming from your heating and cooling system is a sign there’s something amiss that needs timely HVAC repair. We’ll offer a diagnosis and present your repair options, so you can choose which works best for your home and budget.

7. Your heating system smells weird.

Furnaces shouldn’t smell bad. If there’s a persistent bad smell coming from your furnace, it’s a sign you need repair. If you think you smell gas or a rotten egg smell, it could be a gas leak and calls for immediate action: evacuate your home right away and contact us for help once you are safe.

8. Weak airflow from vents in your home.

From problems with your air ducts to issues with your furnace’s blower motor or a clogged furnace filter, insufficient or weak airflow from vents could be caused by a number of problems that may need HVAC repair, system maintenance or furnace installation.

Furnace Repair FAQ

You may notice cold spots, unusual noises like banging, squealing, or rattling, frequent cycling, burning or musty odors that don’t go away, or a sudden rise in energy bills. If your system struggles to maintain temperature, it’s smart to schedule a diagnostic.

If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm goes off, turn the furnace off, leave the home, and contact emergency services and your HVAC company. For minor symptoms, it’s often okay to run it briefly, but continued operation can worsen the damage.
This can happen due to incorrect thermostat mode, a dirty air filter, pilot or ignition problems, a dirty flame sensor, or a tripped high-limit switch. A technician can pinpoint the cause and recommend the right fix.
Many repairs can be completed in a single appointment, but the timeline depends on the issue, how easy the unit is to service, and parts availability. After diagnosing the problem, your technician can outline next steps and timing.
A furnace may be a better candidate for replacement if it breaks down often, is older and inefficient, or has major component issues. If the problem is isolated and the system has been reliable, repair is often the most practical route. A pro can help you weigh efficiency, reliability, and long-term costs.
