We\u2019ve examined before the ways you can tell that you may need heating repair in Fresno, CA<\/a>. As we keep moving through another cold winter in the Central Valley, you\u2019ll want to know how to recognize all the potential indicators that your furnace is teetering on the brink of failing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these signs we haven\u2019t shared before\u2014they\u2019re the silent and small warnings that may not leap out at you. Today, we\u2019re going to delve into these sneakier signs so you\u2019ll know sooner to call our technicians to investigate your heating system. If there\u2019s a problem, we will find it and see if a repair will fix it or if we need to replace the whole furnace because it\u2019s truly at the end of its service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. The color of the flames from the burner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As long as your furnace isn\u2019t a sealed combustion furnace, you should be able to peer into its cabinet and see the burner flames when the furnace is running. The flames should glow blue. If they\u2019re yellow, it means gas isn\u2019t burning efficiently. Not only is the furnace not living up to its full potential, it could be leaking carbon monoxide. Shut the furnace off and call us for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Water leaking from the furnace<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This seems extremely strange to people. Why would there be water in the furnace? If the furnace and the AC share the same cabinet (the setup in many homes), the AC may be the culprit. But water can leak from a furnace if there\u2019s a blockage in its condensate line. You will need to have professionals clean the condensate line before the furnace starts to suffer damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Constant thermostat adjustments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you and your family continually fiddling with the thermostat (whether manual or digital) to find a comfortable temperature? That shouldn\u2019t be happening: the thermostat should be able to remain at a comfortable setting for long periods. The trouble could be with the thermostat, but these continual setting adjustments can also mean the furnace is losing heating power and just can\u2019t keep up like it used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Condensation moisture in your home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you start to notice moisture appearing on the inside of your windows, walls, counters, etc., you may have a problem with the HVAC system, and the furnace is a possible culprit. What\u2019s happening is trouble with the airflow that\u2019s creating stagnant indoor air. Our technicians can look over the whole HVAC system to see where the issue lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Corrosion on the furnace<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Please don\u2019t think of corrosion as something that just inevitably \u201chappens\u201d to a furnace and isn\u2019t a problem. Corrosion is a huge trouble for a furnace, and when it does appear, it usually means the furnace is far too old and needs to be replaced. Corrosion has the potential to create safety hazards with a furnace, so please speak to expert HVAC technicians as soon as you notice this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
