Continuous repairs on an aging heating system can quickly accumulate costs. If you're facing multiple repairs, it might be more cost-effective to invest in a new, energy-efficient system. Upgrading could save on both repair expenses and long-term energy bills. Are you considering replacing your heating system?
Noticed a surge in your gas and electric bills lately? Aging furnaces, without proper maintenance, become less energy efficient, requiring more expense to maintain comfort levels. This issue worsens over time, making it wiser to invest in a new, energy-efficient system rather than wasting money and energy on an older, less efficient one
Typically, modern furnaces last between 16 and 20 years. If your Kingston home's furnace falls within or exceeds that age range, it's time to consider a replacement. Additionally, older furnaces might face difficulties with scarce replacement parts, a risk you wouldn't want to take during an Ontario winter
As a furnace nears the end of its lifespan, it might start making noises like banging, popping, or squealing. An overactive blower, constantly cycling or blowing cold air, is another red flag. If you notice these signs in your furnace, it's a good indicator that it's time to consider a replacement.
Older furnaces often struggle to evenly distribute heated air, leading to discomfort and the need for constant thermostat adjustments. This inefficiency not only causes frustration but also results in wasted energy, ultimately costing you more.
Experiencing allergies, dryness in the nose/throat, or itchy skin at home? An aging furnace might be unable to effectively moisturize and clean indoor air. Signs of excessive dryness also include more dust, static shocks, wilting houseplants, and cracks in wooden furniture
Over time, furnaces can deteriorate and emit dangerous carbon monoxide due to combustion issues or a cracked heat exchanger. Signs of this include a yellow pilot light, condensation on surfaces, rust on pipes, and a lack of chimney draft. If you observe these signs, contact a heating professional immediately for a system check
Liquid pooling is usually condensate (water) and is often due to a blocked condensate drain line or faulty pump. Water on its own is not dangerous, but it can damage electrical components and can lead to very costly repairs. Give us a call and have it repaired quickly!
If air is blowing through your vents very weakly, it’s likely something is amiss. While it may just be a quick fix to your fan, it may also be a problem with your belts or motors.
Hearing strange noises from your furnace is one of the clearest indicators that something is not working properly. If you hear thumping, scraping or banging noises, give us a call right away so we can inspect your heating unit.
If you notice your furnace is frequently turning on and off it’s probably over cycling. This means it’s running more often than it should, and beyond the need for repairs, it will also increase your heating bill. Over cycling is usually caused by thermostat complications, improper air circulation or a clogged filter.
If your heating bill skyrockets without an increase in use, it’s a sign that your furnace is in need of repairs. If you’re heating bill has risen unexpectedly, give us a call and we will identify the culprit.
If you notice that you need to set your thermostat higher and higher just to get a small amount of heat, it’s a definite sign that your furnace needs the attention of an HVAC technician. Problems with your thermostat may be due to electrical issues like a blown fuse, a tripped circuit breaker or loose wiring. Trying to fix electrical issues on your own is not advisable due to the risk of shock.
If you smell a gaseous odour, turn your furnace off immediately and call us right away. Do not light any matches, candles and avoid using your oven.
