7 Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair
Furnaces usually warn you before they quit. Here's what to watch for.
Catching a furnace problem early is cheaper than an emergency no-heat call. Watch for these signs in your Cambridge home.
- Banging, rattling, or squealing
- Short-cycling (turning on and off frequently)
- Weak or cold air from the vents
- Rising heating bills with no change in use
- A yellow (not blue) burner flame
- Frequent thermostat battles
- A furnace over 15 years old
Any of these is worth a diagnostic before winter.
A yellow flame or any CO alarm is urgent — call right away.
