Expert Furnace Repair & Installation Services in Burnaby, Vancouver and Surroundings

Banging or Clanking: These sounds can indicate loose or broken components inside the furnace.

Squealing: Often a sign of a worn-out belt or motor bearing that needs lubrication or replacement.

Rattling: Can suggest a variety of issues, from loose panels to more serious mechanical problems.

Cold Spots: If certain areas of your home remain cold while others are warm, your furnace may not be distributing heat properly.

Low Heat Output: If your furnace isn’t producing enough heat, it could be due to issues with the burner, pilot light, or thermostat.

Short Cycling: The furnace turns on and off frequently, which can be caused by a faulty thermostat, clogged air filters, or an oversized unit.

Long Cycling: The furnace runs continuously without reaching the desired temperature, often due to ductwork issues or insufficient insulation.

Higher Costs: A sudden spike in your energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage can indicate that your furnace is working harder than it should be, possibly due to inefficiencies or malfunctions.

Yellow Pilot Light: A pilot light that is yellow instead of blue can indicate a problem with the gas mixture or a potential carbon monoxide leak.

Ignition Failure: Issues with the ignition system can prevent the furnace from starting or cause intermittent operation.

Dust and Debris: An increase in dust and debris in your home can suggest that your furnace’s air filters are clogged or that there is a problem with the ductwork.

Dry Air: If the air in your home feels unusually dry, it could be due to furnace issues affecting humidity levels.

Unresponsive Thermostat: If the thermostat doesn’t seem to be controlling the furnace properly, it could be due to wiring issues, a malfunctioning sensor, or a need for recalibration.

Inaccurate Temperature Readings: If the thermostat shows incorrect temperature readings, it can lead to inefficient furnace operation.

Detector Activation: If your carbon monoxide detector goes off, it could indicate a serious issue with your furnace, such as a cracked heat exchanger, which can lead to dangerous carbon monoxide leaks.

Old Furnace: Furnaces typically last 15-20 years. If your furnace is within this age range or older, it might be more prone to frequent breakdowns and require more frequent repairs.

Rust and Corrosion: Rust or corrosion on the furnace or its components can indicate significant wear and potential failures.

Water Leaks: Water pooling around the furnace can suggest a problem with the condensate line or the humidifier.
