Which Kind of Furnace Is Right for You?

Choosing the right furnace for the home can be a daunting task. There are several types of furnaces to choose from, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Residents should carefully consider the size of their home, their budget, and their goals for energy efficiency. 

A few examples of the most common types of furnaces include:

  • Gas furnaces – These are the most popular type of furnace, using natural gas to heat the home. Because they are so efficient, they provide a constant, reliable source of heat.
  • Electric furnaces – Since these furnaces use electric resistance coils to generate heat, they are typically less expensive to install than gas furnaces. However, they can be more expensive to operate, depending on how often they’re used.
  • Oil furnaces – Furnaces that use oil are less common than gas or electric furnaces but can be a good option for homes without access to natural gas.

What Occurs During Furnace Maintenance?

Similar to any other mechanical system, furnaces need some TLC on a regular basis to make sure they operate as they should. But what occurs during the actual check-up? Typically, experts will arrange for a thorough inspection of the system from top to bottom. First, they will check the thermostat settings to ensure that the furnace is running at the desired temperature. It is also key to inspect the electrical connections, motors, and other internal parts for signs of wear and tear. 

The technician will clean or replace the furnace filter to improve indoor air quality and prevent dust and debris from entering the system. They will also inspect the furnace's heat exchanger, which helps to transfer heat from the fuel source to the air. If any issues are found, the technician may recommend additional repairs or replacements. 

What Are Signs You Need Furnace Repair?

Several signs can indicate that you need furnace repairs. Recognizing these signs early and addressing them promptly can help prevent further damage and ensure the efficient and safe operation of your heating system. 

Here are common signs that suggest you may need furnace repair:

  • Insufficient Heating: If your furnace is not producing enough heat to keep your home comfortable, or if it struggles to reach the desired temperature, it's a clear sign that something is wrong with your heating system.
  • Unusual Noises: Strange and loud noises coming from your furnace, such as banging, rattling, screeching, or popping sounds, can indicate issues with the blower motor, burners, or other internal components.
  • Frequent Cycling: If your furnace turns on and off frequently (short cycling), it may be a sign of a malfunctioning thermostat, clogged air filter, or other internal problems.
  • Increased Energy Bills: A sudden and unexplained increase in your heating bills could indicate reduced efficiency due to problems within your furnace. This may include issues with the burner, heat exchanger, or air distribution system.
  • Inconsistent Pilot Light: If you have a gas furnace with a pilot light, and it frequently goes out or the flame is an unusual color (other than blue), it may indicate problems with the gas supply or burner.
  • Yellow or Flickering Flame: A yellow or flickering flame in a gas furnace is a sign of incomplete combustion, which can lead to the release of dangerous carbon monoxide gas. This is a critical safety concern, and you should shut off the furnace and seek professional help immediately.
  • Uneven Heating: If your furnace doesn't distribute heat evenly throughout your home, it may be due to issues with the ductwork, blower, or thermostat.
  • Strange Odors: Unusual or foul odors coming from your furnace, such as a burning smell or a musty odor, could indicate problems within the system. A burning smell, in particular, may suggest overheating or electrical issues.
  • Cold Air Blowing: If your furnace is blowing cold air instead of warm air, it may be due to problems with the thermostat, ignition system, or other internal components.
  • Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself repeatedly calling for furnace repairs, it may indicate that your furnace is reaching the end of its lifespan or that it needs more extensive repairs or replacement.
  • Age of the Furnace: Older furnaces, typically over 15-20 years old, are more prone to breakdowns and may require more frequent repairs. Consider replacing an aging furnace for improved efficiency and safety.
  • Carbon Monoxide Detector Alerts: If you have a carbon monoxide detector in your home, and it goes off, it's a clear indication that there may be a carbon monoxide leak from your furnace. Leave your home immediately and call for professional assistance.

If you observe any of these signs, it's crucial to contact a qualified HVAC technician to diagnose and address the issue. 

Regular maintenance can also help prevent many of these problems from occurring, so scheduling annual furnace checks is a wise practice for maintaining the health of your heating system.

How Long Can a Furnace Typically Last?

Every resident wants to be assured that their furnace is going to provide the best bang for their buck, but there is no single answer for how long a furnace will last. A furnace’s lifespan can vary greatly depending on several factors. On average, a gas furnace can last anywhere from 15 to 20 years, while electric furnaces can last up to 30 years. Oil furnaces typically have a lifespan of around 20 years, while propane ones may last up to 30 years. Regardless of the furnace type, proper maintenance will extend the system’s longevity, so ask our team at Legacy One Heating for regular checkups.
