We always recommend having your furnace inspected every year, however, the following are some tips that you can easily employ at home to avoid having to sleep through unexpected cold nights before realizing your furnace needs repair.

Check for Excessive Dust

If you see a lot of extra dust gathering outside of the vents of your furnace, this could be a sign that the filters need changing or that there is a larger problem with the furnace not being able to filter the air properly. If you notice this, check to see if the filters need cleaning and call an expert to accurately diagnose the problem.

Notice Any Unusually High Electric Bills

Heating costs that are substantially higher than usual could be a sign that there is something wrong with your furnace. If you notice an unexplained fluctuation in your heating bill, contact a professional to inspect the issue.

Listen for Any Loud or Unusual Noises

It is common for any furnace to make odd sounds here and there, but it is not normal for the furnace to rattle or make very loud noises. If yours is being particularly vocal, call a professional to determine if a part has gone loose inside the unit, or if any machinery needs to be tuned up.

Consider Your Furnace’s Age

It’s common sense that the older the piece of mechanical equipment, the higher the chances that it may need to be repaired or even replaced. If your furnace is more than 15 years old, consider calling a professional furnace expert to take a look at it. This may save you an unexpected night without heating or potentially costly emergency repairs.

Keeping some of these basic ideas in mind when it comes to your furnace will help you prevent any unexpected hassles this coming winter. Remember to have your furnace checked at least once a year and to keep an eye on these small details to stay warm all winter long!
