One alarming issue your furnace may produce is an odd smell. The particular odor can give you some insight into where the problem may be with your heater. For example, a metallic or chemical-like smell usually indicates a problem with one of the electrical components. However, a sulfur-like smell can indicate a gas leak. If you suspect you have a gas leak, it’s safest to turn off the gas supply to your furnace until one of our technicians can repair the issue.
One frustrating issue is your furnace not turning on. If the thermostat screen is blank and the batteries aren’t dead, it could be an issue with the wiring, circuit breaker, or the device itself. If the thermostat is working but your heating system won’t turn on, check your air vents to see if there’s any air coming out of them.
If cold air is blowing out of your vents, it likely means your heater isn’t turning on. Only the blower components are turning on. This can be due to a number of different issues, such as a dirty flame sensor, clogged fuel supply line, or dirty burner. One of our technicians can do a further evaluation to repair it fast.
If you notice no air flow coming out of your vents but your furnace is kicking on and you see a flame inside it, the problem lies with your blower compartment. It’s common for the blower fan belt to fray over time and eventually break off the pulley. This will prevent the fan from spinning and moving air throughout your ducting. In other cases, the blower motor may burn up and require a replacement.
One other problem is your furnace making a weird noise. Other than air blowing throughout your ducting, your furnace shouldn’t make any noise during its operation. If you start to hear sounds, we need to evaluate the issue. The particular tone of the noise will likely reveal where the issue lies. For example, a squealing noise usually means a bad blower fan belt, and a grinding noise means bad ball bearings in the blower motor.
