Beware of This Major Furnace Safety Hazard

Monday, November 15th, 2021

We don’t want to act alarmist about gas furnaces, because they’re generally safe options for home heating. Furnace manufacturers build gas furnaces with safety features and must meet strict standards. If you take care of your furnace with regular maintenance each fall, it has little chance of becoming dangerous.

But we want to bring your attention to a furnace problem that’s the most common cause for a gas furnace becoming unsafe: a cracked heat exchanger. If this happens to your furnace, you’ll either need immediate heating repair in Bryn Mawr, PA or a full furnace replacement.

October Is (Semi) Official Heating Maintenance Month!

Monday, October 4th, 2021

Fall starts in September, but the arrival of October is when you can genuinely begin to feel the change in seasons. As people shift over to a Halloween type of mood, the temperatures will also start to cool off. It’s a refreshing change, but it also means that winter is not too far off.

This is why we think of October as Official Heating Maintenance Month. Or semi-official, because you can also have maintenance done at other times of the fall. We just think October is the ideal time to have it taken care of: right before the holiday rush starts when the weather still isn’t cold enough you need the heater running most of the day.

Odd Furnace Sounds? Here’s What They May Mean

Monday, December 28th, 2020

You never want to have a noisy heating system in your home. Modern furnaces are designed to run at minimum noise levels: you can expect to hear some clicking as the furnace starts up, the sound of the burners igniting, and the hum of the blower fan as it pushes air through the furnace and into the ductwork. You may also hear an occasional rattle from the metal ducts as they expand from the heat. Otherwise, your furnace will vanish into the general soundscape of winter in your home, something you barely notice.

When you do notice noises from the furnace, it’s usually a sign it needs heating repair in West Chester, PA. We’ve listed some of the more common warning noises you may hear from your furnace this season and their possible meanings. When in doubt, always call for professionals service. Furnaces are not appliances amateurs should ever attempt to repair.
