5 Signs you Need a Furnace Repair

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think much about your furnace until it stops working. But if you know what to look for, you can spot potential problems before they turn into costly repairs.

Here are 5 signs that you need a furnace repair:

1. Your furnace is making strange noises.

If you hear banging, popping, or hissing coming from your furnace, it’s time to call a professional. These noises can indicate that there is something wrong with the inner workings of your furnace and if left unchecked, could lead to a complete breakdown.

2. You’re not getting enough heat.

If your furnace isn’t producing enough heat to keep your home comfortable, it could be due to a variety of issues, including a clogged filter or a problem with the igniter. A professional heating technician will be able to diagnose and fix the problem quickly.

3. Your energy bills are higher than usual.

If you notice that your energy bills have gone up even though you haven’t been using your furnace any more than usual, it could be because your furnace is working overtime to compensate for an issue, such as a cracked heat exchanger. This not only wastes energy and money, but it can also be dangerous as it can cause carbon monoxide to leak into your home.

4. The pilot light keeps going out.

If your pilot light keeps going out or if it takes longer than normal for the pilot light to stay lit, it could be an indication that there is too much air in the gas line. This is a serious safety hazard and should be fixed immediately by a professional.

5. You see water around your furnace.

If you see water pooled around your furnace, it could mean that there is a leak in the heat exchanger. This is a very serious issue as it can cause extensive damage to your furnace and pose a serious safety risk to your family.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t hesitate to call Comfort Hounds Heating & Cooling at 919-578-7798 for expert furnace repair services in Raleigh, NC. We are 5-star rated and fully insured for your peace of mind.

As a new homeowner, my HVAC system needed help. The AC, duct-work, and furnace were all breaking down. Rob and his team at Comfort Hounds came out and fixed everything.- The AC works better and doesn't have to run as often.- The ducts now have dampers so the heat and air spread more evenly throughout the house.- The furnace heats our house faster and easier than before.- There are no more big swings in temperature.I could go on, but the point is that our HVAC system is now running properly thanks to Comfort Hounds.Next is the price, HVAC repair is always expensive, but Comfort Hounds has the most competitive pricing out of the 4 other HVAC companies I've used in the past.Lastly, Rob and his team were patient with us. They stayed well past the allotted time to fix our HVAC system. They spent time with us explaining how we could keep our system running well and how to save money on our electricity bill. They never rushed us despite having other appointments to make.I will continue using Rob and his team for their skills, price, and patience. I highly recommend them.

Great company-friendly-professional-timely. They have been maintaining my hvac for two years. Quick to return calls/texts and provide service. Old system finally needed replacement and they were able to do so quickly and provide financing that met my budget requirements.

Quick call back, same day service for my broken AC. Rob broke down pros and cons of repair vs replacing for my unit and went the extra mile to be sure I had the right system size and HVAC coil to match my heat pump and my sq footage for my house. He also did some maintenance and extra work on issues when installing the new system to be sure it could work at full capacity.Great communication and didn't treat me different being a female. I'll definitely be returning!

I had an excellent experience with comfort hounds. My AC had gone out and was getting uncomfortably hot in the house. I have called several different companies and nobody had an appointments for days. Then I noticed comfort hounds said they were open after hours and within 20 minutes of my call they were here working on my air conditioning and had it repaired and working at 7:00 in the evening. I was really impressed with their quick and courteous service. I went ahead and signed up for the twice a year maintenance check so that I don't end up in an emergency situation again.

Really happy I went with these guys. My HVAC went out and they were able to come diagnose the problem very quickly. While they had the parts on the truck and could do the repair same day I opted to replace my system. Rob was very knowledgeable of his products and what would work best for my home and able to give me a quote within 24 hours. Rob called to check on us after a particularly cold Sunday night to see if we needed space heaters or anything, super thoughtful. The new system 100% solves the problems I had with the old system - my upstairs is finally warm.Definitely would recommend to a friend.
