4 COMMON FURNACE PROBLEMS TO WATCH FOR
Old Furnace
It's time to think about replacing your furnace if you can see or hear that it is very old. If the heat coming from the vents is lukewarm, even when you set it on high, then there might be something wrong with your furnace. Another sign of an older model furnace could include a shaking vent and/or loud banging sounds as the furnace kicks on. If you think it's time for a furnace replacement, give us a call, and we'll help you with the replacement of worn or broken parts on a furnace.
Faulty Thermostat
You might not realize it, but your thermostat is one of the most important parts of keeping you warm. If the furnace turns on and off at random times or fails to keep your house warm, then there could be something wrong with the thermostat itself. One way to test this is to turn off your furnace and see if the AC comes on. If it does, then the thermostat is likely not working properly and it might be time to replace it.
FURNACE Not Heating
When you have your furnace turned on and running, you should feel warm air coming out of your vents. If the air is cool or if your furnace is not heating at all, then there might be a problem with your furnace. Call Yount Heating & Cooling in Claremont and Lincoln County for furnace repair today!
