Common Furnace Issues That Require Cape Cod Emergency Furnace Repair
When your furnace malfunctions, you need professional repairs. Some of the most common issues our contractors encounter on Cape Cod are:
- Short cycling: If your system runs for less than three minutes before turning off, it can indicate a malfunctioning heat exchanger or a broken thermostat.
- Irregular flames: If the flames are uneven or lean toward the back of the system, it can indicate a cracked heat exchanger, leading to severe problems. If you notice this, you should call a professional immediately.
- Unusual sounds: If you hear rumbling, popping, or whistling, it can indicate several issues that a professional should inspect.
- Cracked heat exchanger: This can lead to a serious issue like a carbon monoxide leak. This should be inspected by a professional as soon as possible as it can cause serious health issues for your household.
