Signs You Should Schedule a Furnace Tune-Up

While every furnace should be serviced annually, certain warning signs indicate it is time to schedule maintenance as soon as possible.

Uneven or Insufficient Heat

If rooms are not warming evenly or your furnace struggles to reach the thermostat setting, airflow or mechanical issues may be developing.


Rising Energy Bills

Higher-than-usual heating costs often mean the furnace is working harder due to dirty components or worn parts.


Frequent On-and-Off Cycling

Rapid cycling may be caused by thermostat problems, restricted airflow, or overheating components.


Strange Noises

Rattling, banging, squealing, or grinding sounds are common indicators of loose parts or failing internal components.


Yellow or Flickering Burner Flame

A healthy gas furnace flame should be blue. Yellow or flickering flames may signal combustion issues that require professional inspection.


Unusual Odors

Burning, musty, or gas-like smells can indicate clogged parts, dust accumulation, or more serious mechanical concerns.


It Has Been a Year or Longer Since Your Last Tune-Up

Skipping annual maintenance increases the risk of breakdowns and can reduce furnace efficiency over time.
