Benefits of Professional Furnace Repair

If your furnace breaks down or stops performing well, it’s time to call a professional. Because furnaces use natural gas, open flames, and electricity, they can be dangerous to repair.

An untrained person might make mistakes or oversights that lead to dangerous or costly issues down the road. A trained professional can accurately diagnose all furnace issues, then quickly repair them in the safest possible manner.

Common Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair

In over 50 years of serving customers’ HVAC needs in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, McLean, and throughout Northern Virginia, we’ve performed thousands of furnace repairs. Here are the most common problems we encounter:

Your Furnace Isn’t Producing Any Heat

If your furnace is running but not producing heat, it might be a minor problem. Your thermostat may be malfunctioning, or it could be set incorrectly.

Other common causes include a blown fuse, a clogged air filter, or a pilot light that has gone out.

Your Furnace Isn’t Producing Enough Heat

If your furnace is producing less heat than usual, check the air filter; if it’s clogged with dust, fur, and debris, it won’t let your unit heat as effectively. You should also check that your thermostat is set correctly and isn’t malfunctioning. Another culprit could be closed or obstructed vents in your home.

Your Furnace Is Turning On & Off Constantly

If your furnace turns on for only a few minutes before switching off without reaching the desired temperature, it most likely means a lack of airflow is causing it to overheat. Check the filter to see if it’s clogged. If the filter is clean, you should call a technician to investigate the problem.

Your Furnace Makes Excessive Noise

Furnaces can be noisy, but if yours is suddenly much louder than before, it needs attention before major problems develop. It may just need maintenance, such as replacing the filter and oiling some of the components, or it might have a more serious issue. You should call a professional to give it a checkup right away.

Your Furnace’s Fan Is Running All the Time

The most common reason for a furnace’s fan to run constantly is that the thermostat has been set to “FAN.” If this isn’t the case, your furnace’s fan limit control switch might be faulty and need repair.

Furnace Repair FAQs

Why is my furnace so loud?

Some noise is normal as your furnace operates, such as the sound of the fan pushing air throughout your home or pinging and popping as the ductwork expands with heat. However, if you hear any new sounds or existing sounds are becoming louder, it may be a cause for concern, especially with noises like grinding, banging, or screeching.

Call Caffi Services for a furnace inspection when you hear abnormal sounds from your electric or gas furnace.

How long will my furnace last?

Most gas furnaces can last 12 to 15 years, while electric furnaces can last 15 to 30 years before furnace replacement becomes necessary. To maximize its service life, change the air filter often, about every three months, and schedule furnace maintenance at least once a year.

When you need furnace maintenance, repairs, or replacements in the Arlington area, turn to our experts at Caffi Services.

What are the maintenance requirements for my furnace?

The maintenance requirements will vary by brand, model, and type, but most manufacturers require preventative furnace maintenance once a year.

Typical maintenance tasks include a thorough furnace inspection, replacing the air filter, cleaning the furnace burners or heating elements, cleaning the blower fan and cabinet, and inspecting the electrical connections.

A professional should test the gas valve, igniter, and flame sensor on gas furnaces, and they should check the flue and heat exchanger for corrosion, leaks, and damage.

At Caffi Services, our furnace maintenance is a great way to improve your system’s efficiency and performance while reducing heating costs.
