Greenwood, IN Furnace Replacement

Signs of a Failing Furnace

Contemporary furnaces are designed to perform efficiently with proper maintenance. Even the best maintained heating systems will eventually break down, though. Typically there are warning signs of a compromised furnace. Knowing the signs may help you plan and schedule furnace replacement before you need an new furnace installation.

Age

While Thiele offers repair

service to replace furnaces and perform repairs, homeowners should understand the primary reason furnaces need to be replaced is age. Most furnaces operate well for a decade or longer. As components age the likelihood of catastrophic failure rises. Thiele believes one of our responsibilities as quality hvac professionals is to recommend replacement versus repair on older models. Some of the major parts include heat exchanger and blower motor. If a major component fails the cost of the repair may not commensurate with the life expectancy of the furnace. Repairing an old unit may start a domino effect of frequent repairs. Our team always provides clear and easy to understand advice on the overall health of your equipment. 

Heat Exchanger

When a heat exchanger fails there are often strange noises or odors in your furnace. Heat exchangers are the primary part where the heat in burning gasses is transferred to the air moving throughout your home. When cracks and other damage occur whistling, clanging and banging sounds may be heard. If burners are not working properly or the exhaust is not functioning, then odors may present themselves to warn you of danger. If carbon monoxide detectors sound the heat exchanger may also be the cause. In any of these cases, turning off the system and leaving the home is recommended prior to contacting our team.

Blower Motor 

A second primary component is the blower fan and motor. This is the system that forces air across your heat exchanger and into your home. Loud sounds within your furnace may be foreign objects in the fan or damaged fan blades. Another sign of blower motor issues is lack of airflow or weak air flow. Thiele will advise if the issue is minor like worn bearings and broken belts or a major issue like a failed blower motor. 

Performance Issues

The most common warning signs of a failing furnace are related to performance. When parts are compromised furnaces will not perform properly and run efficiently. If heating bills are suddenly higher, heating is inconsistent or your furnace shuts down before the desired temperature is reached, your system needs maintenance, repair or possibly replacement.

Energy Usage

Installing a new furnace will dramatically improve efficiency and lower energy bills. Older furnaces lose efficiency. The loss of efficiency should be gradual, though. A sudden spike in energy use of a furnace is a clear indication you need professional services. Thiele provides comprehensive services including tune-ups and repairs that may prevent a complete replacement. At the first sign of excessive energy use contact our team.

Inconsistent Heating

New furnaces wrap your home in a blanket of heat and comfort. Failing furnaces often cannot produce enough heat. When furnaces are running poorly you may experience uneven heating, cold spots and weak airflow throughout your home. Like energy use, quickly identifying these warning signs and calling Thiele is recommended. 

Short Cycling

When a furnace suddenly shuts off before reaching the desired temperature setting there is a malfunction in the system or the thermostat. At the first sign of this issue homeowners should call Thiele. The problem could be something simple such as faulty connections, low batteries in a thermostat or a safety mechanism within the furnace. Other issues are more significant and require installing a new furnace. The sooner you contact our team, the quicker we can repair the problem or provide fast furnace replacement.
