With evening temperatures dropping into freezing territory, it\u2019s just too cold to turn a blind eye to a furnace that\u2019s on its last legs. <\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, furnaces typically provide several warning signs that they\u2019re about to go out. If you pay attention, you can likely catch them and call for rescue repair or replacement before you\u2019re left in the cold.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what to look for: <\/p>\n<h2>Uneven Heating<\/h2>\n<p>You can hear the furnace running, but your rooms aren\u2019t as warm as they should be. Unless you have windows or doors open, it\u2019s quite possible that you\u2019re dealing with a furnace that\u2019s losing heating capacity. And this problem rarely gets better on its own, so heed the warning and call Bruce\u2019s at <a href=\"tel:480-968-5652\">480-968-5652<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Noisy Operation<\/h2>\n<p>All furnaces make some noise when they run, but the sounds shouldn\u2019t be getting increasingly loud. Rattling, booming, clicking and squealing are all sounds that indicate it\u2019s time to call in the experts. <\/p>\n<h2>Short Cycling<\/h2>\n<p>Start, stop, start, stop. When a furnace gets into this annoying pattern, it can indicate a variety of problems. A furnace should run in heating cycles of at least 15 minutes before cycling down. If you are experiencing short cycles, consider it time to get your furnace checked out. <\/p>\n<h2>Rising Heating Bills<\/h2>\n<p>A properly maintained furnace should maintain approximately 95% of its original energy efficiency throughout its life. If your heating bills are creeping up month after month, you may need repair, or it may be time to consider a replacement.<\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s Always Chilly<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re turning the thermostat higher and higher to keep the house barely comfortable, your furnace is likely failing. Instead of continuing to bundle up and hope for the best, call an expert at Bruce\u2019s.
