8 Signs You Need Furnace Repairs
It’s important not to ignore the signs that a problem is brewing with your furnace. If you detect any of these issues, it’s best to schedule a service before your furnace completely breaks down:
- Inconsistent heating capacity
- No heat
- Cold air blowing through registers
- Short-cycling
- Odd odors or sounds (burning odors, “rotten egg” smells, screeching, popping, banging, etc.)
- Yellow pilot light
- Unresponsiveness to thermostat controls
- Water pooling at the base of the furnace
The Benefits of Repair vs. Replacement
It’s often best to repair a malfunctioning furnace rather than to replace it. Gas and electric furnaces can last 15 years or longer with proper maintenance and prompt furnace repair. Most furnace problems are straightforward and can be resolved.
Issues typically include thermostat problems, frequent cycling, noisy operation, flickering pilot lights, constantly running blower motors, etc. Often, simple adjustments, minor repairs, or replacing worn-out components can restore your furnace to operation.
Sometimes, repair is no longer a viable option. When this happens, it’s best to consider replacing your furnace. That’s because repair is too costly, or the malfunctions are so common and complex that repairs are unlikely to resolve the issue.
Common reasons to consider replacement include problems with the blower motor, a cracked heat exchanger, a faulty circuit board, or any issues with the draft inducer motor. If you have an older furnace and encounter these problems, then replacing the furnace may be more cost-effective and reliable than repairs.

FAQs
Can I perform my own furnace repairs?
We strongly advise against any DIY furnace repairs. While YouTube and blogs make it seem easy, the reality is that furnaces are complex, dangerous machines. One missed step or wrong diagnosis can cause a catastrophic injury, spark a fire, or release toxic CO emissions into your home.
It’s best left to licensed and insured professionals with the appropriate tools and training.
Should I replace a relatively new furnace?
Some systems are simply duds. It’s worth replacing if you have a new furnace with major problems that’s still under warranty. Similarly, heating system replacement is recommended if you have a furnace that’s still young but requires repairs that exceed 50% of the replacement cost.
