What are common gas furnace problems?
Gas furnaces are highly common in the Vancouver, BC area, and they can efficiently keep local homes warm on even the most brutally cold days. However, they can develop repair issues from time to time. You may notice that your gas furnace is not functioning properly when it begins to blow cold air through the home. Some broken gas furnaces may circulate warm air, but they may fail to blow warm enough air to reach the desired temperature as indicated by the thermostat. Other common warning signs include unusual noises such as banging, rattling, or squealing, a furnace that cycles on and off more frequently than usual, or a noticeable increase in your gas bill without a clear explanation.
Broken gas furnaces may also have a gas leak, and you may notice the smell of gas in the home. Another sign of a gas problem is when the furnace fails to turn on at all. If you notice these signs, you can contact Lambert Plumbing & Heating, Ltd. for a fast response. Because gas leaks pose a serious safety risk, it's important not to wait if you notice a gas smell in your home. Turn off your furnace, ventilate the area if it's safe to do so, and contact a professional right away.
What are the benefits of timely repairs?
Some homeowners will delay contacting our office for assistance with a broken system, but there are several good reasons why you should contact us for repair service today. Some repair issues, such as a gas leak in the furnace, can be a health and safety concern. These are emergency situations that require immediate assistance. Waiting to address a furnace issue, even a seemingly minor one, can sometimes allow a small problem to develop into a larger, more expensive repair.
Other issues can affect your comfort level in the home, and getting timely repairs can resolve any problems that sacrifice your comfort. In addition, some issues can cause your system to work overtime, which can unnecessarily inflate gas bills. Our service can help you to keep heating bills in check all winter long. A furnace that's struggling to keep up with demand often uses significantly more gas than one that's operating properly, so addressing small issues early can have a real impact on your monthly bills.
When will you need to replace your furnace?
While some systems can be repaired, there will come a time when a replacement may be more beneficial or even may be required. Our crew can repair most issues, but if there is an issue that we are not able to fix, a replacement may be required. As a general guideline, most gas furnaces have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years, though this can vary depending on usage, maintenance history, and the quality of the original installation.
When your furnace continues to break down and you grow tired of making repairs, it may be more cost-effective to replace your system with a new model under warranty. Some older models may be less energy efficient, so you may also save money by upgrading to a more energy efficient model. Finally, if your system is in poor condition with frequent gas leaks, you may replace it due to safety concerns. Our technicians can walk you through the pros and cons of repairing versus replacing your specific unit, so you can make an informed decision based on your furnace's age, condition, and your household's budget.
How can you make your unit more energy efficient?
Whether you have an older or newer model, you may be wondering how you can improve your furnace's energy efficiency. Our professionals can provide you with annual maintenance service, which is designed to restore furnaces to like-new condition for energy savings. We can also clean your air ducts and replace air filters as this also promotes energy efficiency. Finally, you can adjust your thermostat downward by a few degrees to reduce heating costs. Pairing a well-maintained furnace with a digital setback thermostat can further improve efficiency, since the thermostat can automatically reduce heating during hours when you're away or asleep, without any extra effort on your part.
Want more control over your home's heating schedule? We also install digital setback thermostats for homeowners throughout Vancouver, BC.
