Just as your body gives you signs that something may be wrong, so does your furnace. If your furnace is giving you one or more of the eight signs below, call the pros at Leggett, Inc. One of our expert technicians will get to the bottom of your furnace issue as fast as possible and draw up a plan for a custom repair or replacement.

1. Age of the Furnace
If your furnace is 15 to 20 years old, it’s nearing the end of its lifespan, parts may be obsolete, and may be less efficient, making replacement a wise consideration.

2. Frequent Breakdowns and Repairs
Constantly needing repairs can be a sign that your furnace is failing and it might be more cost-effective to replace it.

3. Increasing Heating and Cooling Bills
If your energy bills are rising significantly without any changes in usage, it could be a sign that your furnace is inefficient.

4. Inconsistent Heating
Uneven temperatures throughout your home suggest that your furnace is struggling to distribute heat evenly.

5. A Yellow Burner Flame
A yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion and potential carbon monoxide issues, requiring professional inspection and likely a furnace upgrade.

6. Short Cycling
The furnace frequently turning on and off for short periods can mean a malfunctioning system, indicating the need for repair or replacement.

7. A Cracked Heat Exchanger
This is a serious issue that can lead to dangerous carbon monoxide leaks and necessitates immediate furnace replacement.

8. Strange Noises
Unusual sounds like rattling, banging, or squealing are often signs of mechanical problems within the furnace.
