These Are All Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair Before the Holidays

 

The holiday season is here and with it comes cooler nights, and the hustle and bustle of preparing for family gatherings. Here in the San Gabriel Valley—from Azusa and Pasadena—to West Covina and Pomona, winter weather may not pack the same punch as other parts of the country, but we still rely on our heating systems to keep us cozy. The last thing you want is for your furnace to give out when it’s cold outside and your home is full of holiday guests!

The truth is many furnaces have hidden problems that only show up when they’re pushed to perform. So, how do you know if your heating system is ready to keep up? 

Here are some telltale signs your furnace might need repair, and why you should give Stewart Air Systems a call to keep your home comfortable and worry-free.

 

Does Your Furnace Need a Little Help? Watch for These Signs!

‍    1.    Your Furnace Sounds Like It’s Talking Back

If you’re hearing banging, rattling, or high-pitched squeals coming from your furnace, that’s its way of telling you something’s wrong. These sounds could mean anything from a loose part to a bigger mechanical issue. Don’t ignore it, since catching these problems early could save you a lot of money and headaches.

 

‍    2.    Some Rooms Feel Like a Sauna While Others Feel Like an Icebox

Uneven heating might mean there’s an issue with your ductwork, thermostat, or even the blower motor. It’s frustrating when one room is too warm, and another feels like a freezer. Let us take a look—we’ll get your system running smoothly again.

 

‍    3.    Your Furnace Keeps Turning on and Off

A furnace that’s constantly cycling might be struggling with something as simple as a clogged filter—or something more complicated, like overheating. Frequent cycling puts extra wear and tear on your system, which could lead to a breakdown if it’s not addressed.

 

 

‍    4.    Something Smells Off

A burning smell could mean something electrical is overheating, while a musty odor might point to mold in your ducts. The smell of gas indicates there is a serious issue, and you need to shut off your furnace and call us immediately. Safety comes first!

 

‍    5.    Your Energy Bills Are Skyrocketing

If your heating bills are climbing faster than they should, your furnace might be working overtime to keep your home warm. This could mean it’s time for a tune-up or repair to bring it back to peak efficiency.

 

 

Why Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial for ensuring energy efficiency and reducing utility bills. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, combining proper equipment maintenance with appropriate insulation, air sealing, and thermostat settings can cut your energy use for heating and cooling by 20% to 50%.

At Stewart Air Systems, we believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your furnace is made up of many parts—mechanical, electrical, gas, and airflow systems—and they all work together to keep your home comfortable. When even one of these parts is out of sync, it can cause serious problems.

That’s why regular maintenance is so important. We help keep your system running smoothly by:

‍    •    Tracking your furnace’s performance, year-round

‍    •    Keeping the filters and parts your system needs on hand

‍    •    Scheduling maintenance automatically so you don’t have to remember to do this

 

Whether you’re heating a historic home in Pasadena or a multi-story home in Azusa, we’ll make sure your system is ready for whatever winter throws your way. Learn more about our HVAC services here.
