8 Ways to Tell if You Need Furnace Repair

1. Some areas of your home won’t get warm.

Your furnace should heat your entire home. If it’s not and some areas in your home are too cold, contact one of our HVAC technicians for furnace maintenance or repair.

2. Your home’s energy bills increase suddenly.

If you aren’t really using your furnace more, but your home heating bills are rising much more than they should, it could be that your furnace is losing efficiency and requires repair.

3. Strange noises come from the furnace.

All HVAC systems make some noise, but if your furnace begins making odd noises—especially clanging—it’s a sign you should get it examined by an expert.

4. Your heating system constantly turns off and on.

Called short cycling, a furnace that is constantly starting and stopping instead of turning on and completing its cycle most likely needs repair from an experienced HVAC technician like the team members at MPC Heating & Cooling.

5. The heating system won’t turn on.

If your furnace won’t start, that’s definitely a sign you should get HVAC repair. If it turns out you need furnace replacement, our HVAC repair technicians in Chadron can help you choose a new high-efficiency furnace that’s right for your home.

6. Water leaking around your heating system.

Any type of water pooling around your furnace is a sign there’s something amiss that needs prompt HVAC repair. We’ll provide a diagnosis and present your repair options, so you can choose which option is best for your home and budget.

7. There’s a weird smell coming from your heating system.

Furnaces shouldn’t smell bad. If there’s a persistent bad smell coming from your furnace, it’s a sign you need repair. If you think you smell gas or an eggy smell, it could be a gas leak and demands immediate action: evacuate your home right away and contact us for help once you are safe.

8. Not enough air is coming from vents in your home.

From problems with your air ducts to issues with your furnace’s blower motor or a clogged furnace filter, insufficient or weak airflow from vents could be caused by a number of problems that may need HVAC repair, system maintenance or furnace installation.

FAQ: Furnace Repair

You may notice uneven heating, new or loud sounds coming from the unit, frequent cycling, odd smells when the heat runs, or a sudden rise in energy bills. If your system struggles to maintain temperature, it’s smart to schedule a diagnostic.

If you suspect a gas leak or a carbon monoxide alarm goes off, turn the furnace off, leave the home, and contact emergency services and your HVAC company. For minor symptoms, it’s often okay to run it briefly, but continued operation can worsen the damage.
This can happen due to incorrect thermostat mode, a dirty air filter, ignition issues, a dirty flame sensor, or a tripped high-limit switch. A technician can pinpoint the cause and recommend the right fix.
Many repairs can be completed in one visit, but the timeline depends on the type of failure, system accessibility, and parts availability. After diagnosing the problem, your technician can outline next steps and timing.
A furnace may be a better candidate for replacement if it needs frequent repairs, is older and inefficient, or has a costly failure. If the problem is minor and the system has been reliable, repair is often the most practical route. A pro can help you weigh efficiency, reliability, and long-term costs.
