FURNACE REPAIR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I know if I need a furnace repair?

There are several signs that can indicate that your furnace may need to be repaired. Here are some common indicators:

  • Poor or inconsistent heating: If you notice that your furnace is not providing sufficient heat or if there are temperature inconsistencies throughout your home or commercial building, it may be a sign of a furnace issue. This could be due to problems with the thermostat, burner, blower motor, or other furnace components.
  • Unusual noises: Strange noises coming from your furnace, such as banging, rattling, or squeaking, can be a sign of mechanical issues, loose or broken components, or airflow problems. Unusual noises from your furnace should not be ignored, as they can indicate potential problems that need to be addressed promptly.
  • Increased energy bills: If your energy bills have significantly increased without a change in your energy usage patterns, it could be a sign that your furnace is not operating efficiently. This could be due to issues such as clogged filters, malfunctioning thermostats, or other problems that are causing your furnace to work harder and use more energy.
  • Cycling on and off frequently: If your furnace is frequently cycling on and off, it could be a sign of a problem. This could be due to issues such as a faulty thermostat, a malfunctioning blower motor, or other components that are not functioning properly. Frequent cycling can cause unnecessary wear and tear on your furnace and reduce its efficiency.
  • Yellow burner flame: A furnace’s burner flame should typically be blue. If you notice a yellow or flickering flame, it could be a sign of incomplete combustion, which can produce harmful gases like carbon monoxide. This could indicate a problem with the burner or other components of the furnace that require immediate attention.
  • Strange smells: If you notice unusual odors, such as a burning smell, gas smell, or musty odor, coming from your furnace, it could be a sign of a problem. These odors could indicate issues like overheating, gas leaks, or mold growth in the ductwork, and should be addressed promptly to avoid potential hazards.
  • Poor indoor air quality: A malfunctioning furnace can impact the indoor air quality of your home or commercial building. If you notice increased dust, dirt, or other airborne particles, or if occupants are experiencing more respiratory symptoms or allergies, it could be a sign that your furnace is not functioning properly and may need repair.

If you notice any of these signs or if you have concerns about the performance of your furnace, it’s important that you consult our HVAC professionals for a thorough inspection and diagnosis. Prompt furnace repairs can help prevent further damage, ensure efficient operation, and extend the lifespan of your furnace.

How long should a furnace last?

The typical lifespan of a furnace depends on various factors, including its make, model, usage patterns, maintenance, and quality of installation. On average, a well-maintained furnace can last between 15 to 30 years. However, some furnaces may last longer, while others may experience issues and require replacement earlier.

Here are some general guidelines for the lifespan of different types of furnaces:

  • Gas furnaces: Gas furnaces are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings and are known for their efficiency and reliability. A well-maintained gas furnace can last for 15 to 30 years or even longer with proper care.
  • Oil furnaces: Oil furnaces are less common but are still used in some older homes or buildings. They require regular maintenance and can typically last for 15 to 25 years, although their lifespan may be shorter due to the corrosive nature of oil.
  • Electric furnaces: Electric furnaces are typically less durable compared to gas or oil furnaces and may have a shorter lifespan of around 10 to 20 years. However, they may require fewer repairs and maintenance compared to combustion-based furnaces.

It’s important to note that these are rough estimates, and the actual lifespan of a furnace can vary depending on many factors. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning, filter replacement, and annual inspections, can help extend the lifespan of a furnace. Additionally, the quality of installation, usage patterns, and environmental factors can also impact the lifespan of a furnace.

If your furnace is approaching the end of its estimated lifespan or if you’re experiencing frequent issues and repairs, it may be time to consider replacing it with a new, more efficient and reliable model. Consulting with a qualified HVAC professional can help you determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

How can I improve the efficiency of my furnace?

The best way to keep your furnace at maximum efficiency is to schedule regular maintenance and tune-up services with HVAC professionals. You can also improve efficiency by ensuring that your system is always on the recommended setting and replacing your filters regularly.

Cruz Air & ElectricExcellentCruz Air & Electric4.4 Based on 143 reviews fromSee all reviews review us onRaul M.Raul M. ★★★★★ A very good technician with a wide range of knowledge in his field. Travis communicated very well with us, and shared his experience and thoughts to help us make the best decision for our AC unit. We look forward to seeing him on our next maintenance visit.James O.James O. ★★★★★ My downstairs A/C unit wasn't cooling properly and Travis came out to check on it. It was low on Freon so he filled it up and everything works properly. One month later the upstairs unit started blowing warm air so I called Cruz Air & Electric and asked for Travis to come check it out. He arrived on time the next day and tried to get it fixed, but the unit was 26 years old, so I decided to get it replaced. He quoted me a fair price for a new unit and his crew did a great job of installing. Travis came by after the installation to check on everything and was very professional and helpful. The unit is working great and I highly recommend Travis and Cruz Air & Electric if you have any A/C problems.Response from the ownerThanks so much for sharing your experience.

Scott A.Scott A. ★★★★★ We just received the finest, most professional A/C service from Cruz A/C & Electric. Additionally, we met one of the most outstanding, professional, and upstanding young man in Dylan Pesnell, that we’ve have encountered in many years. I’d like to highly RECOMMEND and briefly decribe our experience with both; Cruz A/C & Electric for their service, efficient turnaround time and communications we received. And of course, Dylan, who made it all happen.Evening time ion 08/15, we had ½ of our home in Huffman, TX, without working thermostats or A/C. Knowing Cruz A/C & Electric were located in Humble, the possibility of service to the remote Huffman Commons would probably be next day.I called Cruz A/C & Electric at 5:18pm on Monday 08/15 and reached their answering service. They were polite and quickly took my information. Within 4 minutes, Dylan called me at 5:22pm and said he would come out to our home. At 5:25pm, I received a text message from Cruz A/C & Electric that Dylan was heading our way and the message professionally conveyed Dylan’s certifications and phone numbers to call should we encounter any issues.Within minutes, Dylan arrived, very professional in dress and demeanor and confident in assessing the problem. Before 6pm, Dylan not only assessed the problem but made the necessary repairs and our entire home was cooling again.Many thanks and a HIGH recommendation to Cruz A/C & Electric for their automated communications and rapid turnaround time for completing everything.As for Dylan, he’s an incredible, capable resource that shows a tremendous amount of positivity and confidence that Cruz A/C and Electric should be proud of. He chatted with me for a few minutes after the repairs, and I can honestly vouch for his level of skills and confidence/capability. He’s definitely a family man too.Coach/PIO (aka Scott A.)Response from the ownerHi, Mr. Abshire - Thanks so much for writing and sharing your kudos and appreciation for Dylan's hard work and professionalism.
