For optimal performance during the colder months, you should check and replace your furnace filter every one to three months, especially if you have pets or live in a dusty area.
A burning smell when you first turn on the furnace is usually just dust burning off. Oftentimes, the first time you turn on your furnace for the season, you might notice a burning odor from dust accumulation. However, persistent odors could very well indicate overheating or electrical issues and should be addressed by RR Electric, Heating & Air professionals right away.
For a balance of comfort and efficiency, our experts generally recommend a setting of 68 degrees Fahrenheit while you’re home and awake, and slightly lower while you’re asleep or away. The exact temperature will depend on your preferences and heating system of course, but generally speaking, it’s best to keep your thermostat somewhere between 68 and 73 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you notice any of the following symptoms of a broken furnace, call (818) 572-9587 to schedule a prompt repair:
Most importantly, if your furnace’s built-in carbon monoxide detector goes off, turn off your furnace immediately, open the windows around your house, and call (818) 572-9587. Carbon monoxide leaks are extremely dangerous and can result in death if not dealt with promptly!
Does it feel like your home is unable to sustain a comfortable temperature? Your furnace is likely to blame. Leaking ductwork and thermostat issues can destabilize the temperature in your house, making your home chilly and uncomfortable. In either situation, you will need to contact our team for professional assistance.
The average lifespan of a furnace is between 15 and 20 years, depending on how well it has been maintained. As your furnace ages, it can run into power issues which may result in difficulty powering on. If you find yourself having to restart your furnace throughout the day, it’s time to bring in the experts for a repair.
Strong, gassy odors coming from your furnace usually point to a gas leak due to excess dust build-up. If you smell abnormal odors emitting from your furnace, call RR Electric, Heating & Air for a repair as soon as possible!
Your furnace is naturally a loud operation, but in the event something is wrong with the unit, it can produce odd banging or whistling noises. If your furnace is making abnormal noises, call us right away to diagnose the issue and repair your unit.
Your furnace system’s pilot light should always have a blue tint. If the pilot light is a different color, particularly yellow, call (818) 572-9587 immediately! A yellow pilot light means there is a ventilation problem within the unit. The color changes from blue to yellow when carbon monoxide and other gasses do not dissipate correctly. This can cause a carbon monoxide leak in your house which is incredibly dangerous. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer as it is both colorless and odorless. If your pilot light is not blue, do not wait until it’s too late, schedule a repair immediately!
Is your home constantly dusty no matter how frequently and thoroughly you clean it? This could be due to your furnace and HVAC system! If your furnace is not properly maintained, it can cause a buildup of excess dust, dirt, and other bacteria that will blow throughout the rest of your home. This is why it is crucial to schedule a yearly furnace tune-up! If you or someone in your family is prone to allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues, poor air quality can cause serious health effects, so make sure that you repair your furnace to avoid any negative health consequences.
