5 Warning Signs That Your Furnace May Be Failing

Who hates waking up freezing? Yes, we do too. If your furnace breaks down in the middle of the night, that can make for a few miserable nights ahead before it can be fixed. Nobody wants that, so our HVAC company at the Lake of Ozarks has prepared a few warning signs for you to be aware of that could mean your furnace may be failing. Let's get the problem fixed ahead of time, before your furnace breaks down, so you don't have to suffer through those cold nights that are coming.

5 Warning Signs That Your Furnace May Be Failing


1. You have had your furnace for over 15 years.

While the average lifespan for a furnace is 15 to 20 years, when it becomes that old it is time to start watching it more closely. Pay attention for abnormal functions, sounds or smells. 

2. Your furnace is making abnormal noises.

Most people get pretty used to the normal sounds their HVAC systems can make, but if you start to hear popping or squeaking, that may indicate that something has come loose in your unit and it is in need of repairs. 

3. Your heating bill has increased.

If your furnace isn't running efficiently and isn't heating your home as quickly as it used to, it's probably using more energy, causing your bill to be higher than normal. This can be a sign that your furnace is getting ready to break down.

4. You have noticed an unusual amount of dust in your home.

As a furnace gets older, it can have a harder time filtering your air. This can lead to more dust in your home. If you notice an abnormal amount of dust in your home, your ductwork or blower fan can also be malfunctioning. 

5. You have cold air in your home.

Clearly, if your furnace is not heating your home, than it could be malfunctioning, but there could be a number of problems causing it. You should call a qualified HVAC technician to investigate.
