Commonly Asked Questions Regarding Furnace Systems
Most HVAC professionals recommend a full furnace tune-up once a year, ideally in early fall before the heating season starts. Annual maintenance keeps your system efficient, prevents emergency breakdowns, and helps identify safety issues early.
Common warning signs include:
- Strange noises (banging, rattling, grinding)
- Uneven or weak airflow
- Burning or musty smells
- Furnace turning on and off frequently
- Higher energy bills
- Cold spots throughout the home
If you notice any of these, schedule a diagnostic before the system fails completely.
This often happens because of:
- A dirty or clogged air filter
- An overheating system
- Thermostat issues
- A pilot light or ignition failure
If basic troubleshooting doesn’t help, it’s best to have a technician inspect the system.
Most furnaces last 15–20 years with proper maintenance. Older units become less efficient and more prone to breakdowns, which can make replacement more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
You can:
- Replace your air filter every 60–90 days
- Vacuum around vents and returns
- Keep the furnace area clear of items
- Check the thermostat settings
- Listen for any unusual noises
Anything involving gas, ignition, or electrical components should be handled by a licensed HVAC technician.
A slight burning smell is normal the first time the furnace runs for the season — dust burns off the heat exchanger.
If the smell lasts more than 30 minutes or smells electrical, metallic, or smoky, turn the furnace off and call for service immediately.
Maintenance helps your system run efficiently, reducing monthly heating costs. It also prevents small issues from turning into expensive repairs and extends your furnace’s lifespan. A cleaned and tuned furnace uses less energy and works more consistently.
Short cycling is usually caused by:
- A clogged air filter
- Overheating
- A malfunctioning thermostat
- Improper furnace sizing
This problem strains your system and raises energy costs. A technician should diagnose the root cause.
A repair is usually fine if the unit is newer and the issue is minor.
Replacement may be the better choice if your furnace is:
- Over 15 years old
- Breaking down frequently
- Causing high energy bills
- Producing inconsistent heat
A professional inspection can compare repair vs. replacement costs.
Yes. A furnace can appear to be working but still have hidden issues like:
- Carbon monoxide risks
- Cracked heat exchangers
- Failing motors
- Blocked airflow
- Dangerous electrical components
Maintenance keeps your home safe and prevents surprise breakdowns during Oregon’s colder months.
