Choosing Furnace Repair or Replacement

Furnace Warning Signs
You will more than likely need either a furnace repair or replacement if you notice any of the following:
- Scale – This problem will show up as small flakes of rust that occur in gas-burning units. Scale can reduce the flow of gas by falling on the burners, and can eventually cause substantial damage by causing moisture. Have a technician remove your burners and clean them on a regular basis to reduce the chances of this problem occurring.
- Banging, bumping or grinding sounds – There are a number of different causes for these sounds, including a cracked belt, electrical issues or a delayed ignition. In most instances, odd noises indicate a serious problem that must be addressed immediately.
- Yellow flame – When the flame of your furnace is stable and clean it has a blue color. A yellow flame means that the burner is not properly mixing gas and air properly because it is dirty. Call a professional to clean the burner and test the system. If the flame remains yellow, that probably means you”ll need a new unit.
