If you’re wondering, “Why is my furnace not working?” there could be several reasons behind it. Here are some common issues and tips on what you can do:

Thermostat Settings: Sometimes, the answer to why your furnace isn’t working lies in the thermostat settings. Ensure it’s set to “heat” and the temperature is above the current room temperature. It might also need new batteries!

Clogged Filter: One frequent cause of a furnace not working is a dirty or clogged air filter. When filters get clogged, airflow is restricted, making it hard for the furnace to operate efficiently or even start.

Tripped Circuit Breaker: If your furnace is not working at all, it could be due to a tripped breaker. Check your home’s electrical panel to see if the furnace switch has been flipped off, and reset it if necessary.

Pilot Light or Ignition Issues: For furnaces with pilot lights, a blown-out light can be why your furnace isn’t working. If you have an electric ignition, any issue there might also prevent your furnace from functioning.

If you’re asking, “Why is my furnace making a noise?” there are several possible reasons, each indicating a different issue:

Rattling or Banging: If your furnace is making rattling or banging noises, it might be due to loose panels or parts. Over time, vibrations can loosen screws and bolts, so tightening these may resolve the noise. Banging can also indicate dirty burners or a delay in ignition.

Squealing or Whistling: A furnace making high-pitched squealing or whistling sounds often points to issues with the blower motor or fan belt. These parts might need lubrication, replacement, or adjustment to function quietly.

Booming Sounds: When you hear a “boom” or a loud popping noise, it could mean gas buildup in the furnace from delayed ignition. This is a sign of a potential gas issue and should be checked by a technician immediately.

Grinding or Scraping: If your furnace is making a noise that sounds like metal scraping, this could indicate a serious issue with the blower wheel or motor. Turn off the furnace and call for professional assistance if you hear this sound.

If your furnace is making a noise that doesn’t sound right, it’s essential to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage.

It’s recommended to service your furnace at least once a year, ideally in the early fall before the heating season begins. Annual maintenance not only helps prevent unexpected breakdowns during colder months but also keeps your furnace running efficiently and safely. Here’s why yearly servicing is beneficial:

Improved Efficiency: Over time, dirt and dust can accumulate on internal components, making the furnace work harder to produce the same amount of heat. During a service, a technician will clean the system, allowing it to run more efficiently and reducing energy costs.

Prolonged Lifespan: Regular maintenance can help detect minor issues before they become major problems, potentially extending the life of your furnace. A well-maintained furnace can last up to 15-20 years, while neglected ones may need replacement much sooner.

Enhanced Safety: Furnaces, especially gas or oil types, produce heat through combustion, which can produce harmful gases like carbon monoxide. Annual checks ensure that safety features like the heat exchanger, vents, and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly to keep your home safe.

Preventative Maintenance: Furnace servicing includes inspecting and lubricating moving parts, tightening electrical connections, and checking for wear and tear. Addressing these issues during annual maintenance helps avoid costly repairs or inconvenient breakdowns during peak usage times.

Warranty Compliance: Many furnace warranties require annual servicing to remain valid. Skipping this maintenance could void the warranty, meaning you’d cover repair costs out-of-pocket if anything goes wrong.
