We\u2019ve compiled some of the most pressing reasons below.<\/p>\n<h3>High Heating Bills<\/h3>\n<p>Look at some of your recent heating bills. If you notice an unreasonable and unexplainable energy bill increase then it\u2019s time to call for repairs. If you notice that you\u2019re shelling out more and more money each month but running your heater the same way that you normally would, then it\u2019s probably because the system is suffering from heating inefficiency. A simple repair service will actually <em>save <\/em>you money by boosting the heater\u2019s efficiency.<\/p>\n<h3>Unusual Sounds<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s not unusual for your furnace to make some extra noise when it turns on and off. If those noises start to get louder or more unusual as time goes on, then it\u2019s time to take action. Some common problems are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rattling\/Banging:<\/strong> caused by unsecured ductwork, moving parts, or loose screws. If you hear this sound, then it\u2019s best to call a professional and have the problem solved quickly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Humming<\/strong>: If you hear an odd humming sound then it\u2019s probably due to a problem with your fan. If this is what you\u2019re hearing, then you should have a professional look at your system as soon as possible because this could be the start of your motor failing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Screeching<\/strong>: These noises are a sign there is an overall issue with your motor. Possible issues causing this might be a loose bearing, worn belt, or an issue with a pulley that holds the belt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Popping<\/strong>: A popping sound often happens in response to temperature changes within\u00a0the heating\u00a0system that your furnace can\u2019t account for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Excess Dust<\/h3>\n<p>Your furnace directly effects your indoor air quality. Have you noticed that you seem to constantly dust your home\u2019s furniture, but more dust always accumulates? Do you notice a large amount of dust coming from\u00a0the registers as soon as you turn on your system? It\u2019s your furnace showing you that it\u2019s time to schedule repair services. A professional will get the heater\u00a0back on track.<\/p>\n<h3>Lukewarm Air<\/h3>\n<p>Are you turning on your furnace hoping for warm air and only getting cool air? It\u2019s probably a problem with the fan motor. If your blower is malfunctioning, the furnace doesn\u2019t have enough power to blow air throughout the home. This causes cool air and uneven heating patterns. If you\u2019re having this frustrating problem in your home this winter, you should call a professional today.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you need heating repairs, then <a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact<\/a> our team here at Johansen &amp; Anderson Inc today.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Temperatures are cooling off here in Orland Park, if you\u2019ve had problems with your system then now is the time to repair your furnace system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[76],"tags":[155,148],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":751,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748\/revisions\/751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
