Signs That It is Time for
Furnace Repair
◦ The furnace is producing odour
◦ The musty and dusty odour is normal during the first use or season, but
as the odour continues, furnace repair may be required. Checking
and replacing filters should be done first, as smell mostly is coming
from the air filter. If there is a burning odour, immediately turn off your
system and call for a professional HVAC company’s help.
◦ Banging sounds when the system turns on
◦ Most furnaces relatively operate and run quietly. Hammering or
banging sounds may be typical of the radiator heat system, but the
noise should not be too loud. When there is screeching or squealing
sound all the time the system is turned on, call for a furnace repair
specialist may be required. Most of the time the noise is coming from
the blower motor. If this is the case, the blower should be repaired or
adjusted. Grinding, banging and too loud pops are signals of
immediate furnace repair.
