Oil Furnaces

Several signs can indicate that your furnace may need repairs. Listen for unusual noises such as banging, rattling, or popping sounds. Pay attention to inconsistent heating, where some rooms are too hot or cold. Increased energy bills without any change in usage can also signal a problem. Look for frequent on-off cycling or a yellow or flickering pilot light. If you notice a strong gas odor or visible soot around the furnace, it’s vital to seek immediate repair. Our technicians can assess your furnace to ensure it is functioning safely.

Scheduling routine maintenance ensures optimal efficiency and catches potential issues early. Replace air filters regularly to improve airflow and prevent dust buildup, and keep the area around the furnace clean and free from obstructions. Adjust thermostat settings appropriately to prevent excessive strain on the system. Finally, be aware of unusual sounds or changes in heating performance and promptly seek professional assistance. By staying proactive and attentive, you can extend the lifespan and efficiency of your furnace.

To maintain a properly functioning furnace, cleaning or replacing the furnace filter every one to three months is recommended. The frequency depends on factors like the type of filter used, the air quality in your home, and the presence of pets or allergies. Regular filter maintenance ensures efficient airflow, prevents dust accumulation, and improves indoor air quality. If the filter appears dirty or clogged, replace it promptly to avoid strain on the system, reduce energy consumption, and promote better air circulation throughout your home.
