Signs Your Furnace Needs Attention

Watch for these common furnace warning signs:

• Furnace blowing cold air instead of heat
• Frequent short cycling — turning on and off more than it should
• A yellow or flickering pilot light instead of a steady blue flame (gas furnaces)
• Rising energy bills or unusual burning odors
• A system that’s 15-20+ years old and needs frequent repairs

We tailor our approach to your furnace type:

• Diagnose the furnace type and specific issue — gas, electric, or oil
• Inspect burners, the ignitor, blower motor, and heat exchanger
• Repair the issue or walk you through replacement options if that’s the better value
• Test all safety controls, including carbon monoxide safeguards on gas systems
• Verify proper operation before we leave

What Affects the Cost of Furnace Service

Furnace pricing depends on a few factors:

• Repair vs. replacement
• Furnace type — gas, electric, or oil
• Age of the system and availability of parts

We inspect first and always provide clear, upfront pricing before starting any work.

FAQ

What are common furnace problems?

Frequent issues include a failing ignitor, a clogged filter restricting airflow, thermostat miscommunication, blower motor wear, and short cycling from a dirty flame sensor.

Gas vs. electric furnace — which is better?

Gas furnaces typically heat faster and cost less to operate in most of the Philadelphia area, while electric furnaces have lower upfront installation costs. We can help you weigh the tradeoffs for your home.

How long do furnaces typically last?

Most furnaces last 15-20 years with regular maintenance, though older or poorly maintained systems may need replacement sooner.

Is a yellow pilot light dangerous?

It can be. A yellow or flickering flame instead of steady blue may indicate incomplete combustion or a carbon monoxide risk, and should be inspected right away.

How often should furnaces be serviced?

Once a year is standard, ideally before the start of heating season, to catch small issues before they become bigger problems.
