5 Warning Signs Your Furnace Needs Professional Attention


Is Your Heating System Trying to Tell You Something?

When the winter chill sets in across Middlesex County, your home’s comfort depends heavily on a reliable heating system. At Always Comfy, LLC, we’ve been helping homeowners throughout Piscataway, Edison, and surrounding areas maintain their heating systems since our founding by Thomas McNally in 2008.

Here are five critical warning signs that indicate your furnace needs professional attention:

1. Unusual Noises

If your furnace is making banging, rattling, or squealing sounds, it’s not just being chatty. These noises often indicate loose components or mechanical problems that require immediate attention.

2. Rising Energy Bills

When your heating costs suddenly spike without a corresponding increase in usage, your furnace might be losing efficiency and working harder than necessary.

3. Uneven Heating

Cold spots throughout your home could signal ductwork issues or a furnace that’s struggling to distribute heat effectively.

4. Yellow Pilot Light

A healthy pilot light should be blue. If yours is yellow, it could indicate dangerous carbon monoxide production.

5. Frequent Cycling

If your system keeps turning on and off repeatedly, it might be oversized, undersized, or experiencing thermostat issues.

Don’t wait until your heating system completely fails during the coldest days of winter. If you notice any of these signs in your South Plainfield, Dunellen, or South Bound Brook home, contact Always Comfy, LLC for professional diagnosis and repair.

Remember, regular maintenance is key to preventing these issues and extending your furnace’s lifespan. Schedule your seasonal check-up today to ensure your system runs efficiently all winter long.
